Ryan Young had gotten to the flop in a hand against John Phan. With the board 
and about 5,000 in the middle, Young was talking to Phan in between sips of beer. "C'mon, John... double me up!" he grinned.
The turn brought the 
and a check from Phan. Young casually tossed out three (1,000) chips, and Phan didn't waste much time with a response. "I'm all in," he said. Young smiled and delivered his own rapid, brief rejoinder:
"F***!"
The table erupted in laughter. "Not talking so much now, huh?" said Phan. Young folded, preserving his remaining 9,000. "Cocktails!" he yelled. "I need some shots... these beers aren't working!"
Phan is now up to 55,000.

Chris Moorman five-bet shoved his remaining stack preflop, and Valdemar Kwaysser snap-called with the slightly bigger stack to put his opponent at risk.
Showdown
Moorman: 
Kwaysser: 
The flop was good times for Moorman as it came 
to pull him into the lead with top pair. He had an extra four outs to sweat now, though, but the turn was a safe 
, one card away from a Moorman double up. The river, however, was the , and Moorman made his unfortunate two pair. That fills in Kwaysser's straight, earning him the knockout and a chip-up to 34,000 in the process.

Roland de Wolfe had just 1,800 chips left when he called a fellow-short-stacked opponent's all in for 1,200. De Wolfe had a meager 
, just one over against his opponent's 
. The board ran out 
, and that loss knocked de Wolfe down to just 600.
He was all in for that amount on the next hand with , and he ran into an opponent's ace-king. De Wolfe was unable to improve on board, and he has been eliminated from the field.
A couple more Team PokerStars Pros have hit the rail here as play proceeds through Level 5. John Duthie went out a short while ago, followed more recently by Bertrand Grospellier.
We've seen players eliminated at what seems an especially fast clip today. The field has already been cut by more than half, with just 234 players still with chips.

Like Chris Ferguson, Greg Mueller has been spending most of the afternoon away from his stack here in Event #44, and down the hall in the Amazon Room playing Day 2 of Event #43 (the $10K H.O.R.S.E.). He did just make a quick visit here to play a couple of hands, however.
One -- at the end of the no-limit round -- saw Andrew Feldman raising to 500 from middle position, then Mueller shoving all in for 2,625 from the small blind. Feldman thought a minute, then called, showing 
to Mueller's . The board came 
... . Mueller backdoored a flush and doubled to 5,400.
Shortly after that hand, Mueller won another nice pot in the limit round, eliminating Tony Dunst with 
versus Dunst's 
. Mueller just took off back down the hall, leaving about 12,000 sitting here.

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson showed late today -- he's been occupied with the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. event. So it wasn't too long before he began playing his short stack fast in an effort either to gather some chips quickly or move on.
Down to 3,500, he open-shoved from early position after announcing he was doing so without looking at his cards, and the player on his left reraised all in behind him, forcing the others out. Ferguson showed and his opponent . A queen flopped, and Ferguson's hand held up.
He shoved again on the next hand and this time got two callers. Ferguson had , and was against one opponent's 
and Flavio Ferrari's 
. The board came 
, and Ferrari knocked out two opponents.
Ferrari motors up to 41,000 after that one.
