Steven Landfish is the proud new owner of a fossil, and that must mean that Greg Raymer has been eliminated. A quick check with Landfish and his table gives us the dirt:
Raymer opened with a raise to 1,200 under the gun, and Landfish was the only caller. They took a heads-up flop of (X), and Raymer led out with 2,000 chips. Landfish flatted, and the on the turn drew a check from Fossilman. Landfish took his cue to bet 4,100, Raymer check-raised to 14,000, and Landfish moved all in. Raymer had just a couple thousand left, and he went ahead and put them into the pot to put himself at risk.
Raymer turned up for the flopped set, but Landfish had turned Broadway with . Raymer couldn't fill up on the river, and he pulled a pen out of his pocket to sign a friendly message to Landfish.
Raymer is gone, and Landfish is up near the top of the board with 96,000
That's four levels down and four to go. Ah, but first, a break! It's one hour for dinner this time, and the players have been sent out of the room until 10:25 p.m.
We'll be back then with our last four levels of Day 1.
Dustin Woolf raised to 1,075 preflop, and Vivek Rajkumar three-bet to 2,800. After some time in the tank, Woolf reraised, and Rajkumar set him all in for about 11,000 total. Woolf called.
Showdown
Woolf:
Rajkumar:
The board ran out clean, coming , and that doubles Woolf up to 23,000 just before the dinner break. Rajkumar is back to 28,000 after failing in that knockout bid.
We just noticed a registration card on Table 294 in front of a dead stack, and it reads "Phillip Hellmuth".
The Brat hasn't shown up yet, and his stack has been blinded down around 26,000 so far. When he does arrive, he'll be sitting with Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Jordan Morgan, and chip leader Martin Kabrhel.
"How much has the chip leader right now?" Martin Kabrhel asked, rushing over to our desk.
"Our biggest stack is around 85,000," we told him.
"I have 135,000," Kabrhel said, scribbling notes furiously on his pad of paper that included a diagram of his table. After a visit of just a few seconds, Kabrhel ran awkwardly back to his table in time to catch his next hand.
On a flop, Tom Marchese bet 1,900 and the cutoff raised to 3,800. Marchese called and they went to the turn, which fell the . Marchese check-called another 6,500. The river was the and both players checked.
We didn't see the hand, but Matt Keikoan just followed a friend bearing take-away food out a side door of the Amazon Room as the dealer at his former table called "Seat Open!" We'd say that's enough circumstantial evidence to declare the two-time bracelet winner busto from this event.
