Within the table of death lies the seat of death, the owner of this seat is none other than Lauren Kling. Kling's chair happens to be between Jeff Madsen and David Sands, two powerhouses in the field. Joe Cada is also two players to her left, but Kling seems to be holding her own.
Recently we saw her open a pot for 2,600 from late position. The big blind was the only one willing to pay, and a flop was shown. The big blind checked and Kling continued for 3,800. A call was made and both players were off to the turn. It was here that the made an appearance. Again the big blind checked and Kling bet out 8,900. The big blind took a few seconds before shaking his head and opting to fold.
Barry Woods lost his tournament life after a three-way all-in on his table. Another player he told me that he had pocket eights to Mitchell Foss' ace-jack and Joseph Urgo's pocket aces.
The ace-jack hand of Foss scooped to triple-up. Urgo took the side pot and Woods was eliminated.
Neil Mcfayden busted just as we were about to publish this post.
While walking around the room we heard a whole table simultaneously yell "woah!". We then ran over to see what had happened. Jarred Solomon's was up against an all in Titan Leard's .We don't know when Leard got all in, but it appears that they didn't get it all in preflop. The board read with a river . Leard hitting a set of twos is the reason for the yelps of surprise. With much fist bumping the whole table seemed pretty excited about the result, except maybe a silent Solomon.
Matt Wilkins found a good spot to get his 25,000 stack in but ran into a bigger hand.
Todd Boghosian opened to 2,500 from the hijack before Gavin Smith three-bet to 6,400 from the seat. Wilkins was on the button and shoved. Boghosian took his time and called, which was enough to scare off Smith.
The short stacked Seidel did his best to get back up on the horse, but it appears it wasn't enough. Seidel along with two others just saw their tournament life come to an end.
Most recently over at table #451 we found the under the gun player making it 2,000 preflop. The next person in line to act made the call, and Eric Seidel who was next to act repopped to 7,300. The button was next to act and he opted to move all in for around 45,000. Everyone else decided that was to rich for their blood and folded, except Seidel who went into the tank. Seidel seemed to weigh both options pretty heavily, eventually though he went with a call.

Opponent:
The dealer then exposed a flop which was no help to Seidel. A on the turn meant that only an ace or a king could appear on the river for Seidel to claim the pot. He received no such luck as the river came out the . Seidel now sits with around 8,000 in chips and is in dire need of help if he wants to make it to day three.
The pressure is building on the players' stacks now and we're starting to see more eliminations. Andrew Rosskamm, Todd Wright and Kory Kilpatrick were the last three to go.
Kilpatrick got his last 10,000 or so in when the action folded to him on the button. Matthew Iles was in the small blind and re-raised to isolate. It worked as Robert Deppe folded from the big blind.
