The eliminations have been come at a mesaured pace of every few minutes in the first two hours of the day. Add Derek Gibb's name to the departed. He moved with Big Slick, 
, and found himself on the short side of a race against Mark Meloche's pocket jacks, 
. A flop of 
gave Meloche a set of jacks and Gibb an inside straight draw. Gibb bricked the draw and slipped off towards the cage.
Tony Bracy was all in for 97,000 before the flop, and Redmond Lee isolated himself against Bracy with a reraise to 200,000. That folded the rest of the table and cued the showdown with the short stack at risk. And the news was not good:
Bracy: 
Lee: 
The 
flop was an ugly sight for Bracy, and he couldn't go runner-runner to stay alive. The turn 
and river 
ushered him to the payout desk, and Lee moves his way up to 1.33 million courtesy of that knockout.
John May was eliminated not long ago in 177th place, meaning the barely-21-year-old will not be breaking Joe Cada's record as the youngest ever WSOP Main Event champion.
Christian Harder opened to 48,000 from the cutoff and Jordan Siegel made the call from the big blind.
Siegel check-called 62,000 on the 
flop before leading for 85,000 when the landed on the turn.
Harder went deep into the tank before laying his hand down to see Siegel collect the pot and move to over 1,100,000 in chips.
Adam Kagin was all in preflop for his last 200,000 chips with Gabriel Alarie making the call.
Kagin: 
Alarie: 
Kagin was dominated and didn't improve on the 
board. Kagin is out as Alarie is now up to 1.95 million.
With the board showing 
, Nicolo Calia committed the last of his short stack and Jonathan Driscoll called the bet. Calia had 
, and was behind Driscoll's 
.
The river was the , and Calia is out. Driscoll now has 1.84 million.
There was about a half-million chips in the pot when we walked up to a 
flop. Paulo Figueiredo moved all in for 498,000, and Bryn Kenney called with his covering stack to put his opponent at risk. Kenney's 
had flopped top pair, but he was still in a big hole against Figueiredo's .
Turn:
How to climb out of a big hole quickly. Kenney improved to three queens, leaving his opponent dead to two outs. The river was no help at all, and Paulo Figueiredo has been cut down.
Kenney, courtesy of that lucky turn card, is all the way up to 3.38 million now and a dangerous force at his table.
A couple of raises meant that Diogo Borges was all in pre-flop for 520,000. He was called by Theo Jorgensen on the button. Jorgensen's disposed of Borges and his on a board in which both players made two pair, . Jorgense is now up to 3.8 million.
A couple more bustouts to report here. Among the many we've seen here during these first two wild hours of play.
Brandon Wong was all in for his last 200,000 with against Jacobo Fernandez's . Five community cards later -- 
-- Wong was gone.
And a short-stacked David Liu was all in soon thereafter with against Gianni Direnzo's . The board went 
, and Liu left us.
