We just saw Gavin Smith making a hasty exit from the tournament area. He started the day with an above average stack of about 65,000, but he's run that to the felt on Day 2.
When we walked over to Smith's former table, it looks like Burt Boutin was the one stacking up the rest of his chips.

Matt Giannetti was short on chips the last time we saw him. Like, the 3,000 chips kind of short. Now, he's gone. Rumor has it Chris Moore was the one who did him in, jacks against king-queen.
The 2011 November Niner has been eliminated.

Steve Landfish came into the day with a big stack — the biggest one in the room, in fact. But this Day 2 has not been kind so far, and it's apparent that Landfish is struggling a bit.
A few moments ago, Landfish wanted to open with a raise. "What's the pot?" he asked.
"Fifty-six," the dealer answered — 5,600 to raise the pot.
"Eighty-five hundred," Landfish said as he mistakenly tried to over-raise. He seemed a bit confused, and he was forced to pull the overage back and make the pot-sized raise. He's no slouch at this game, either. Landfish finished 18th in this event two years ago, and he's cashed in five $10,000 events in the past three years. Two of those were final table runs. He certainly seems a bit out of sorts, if we're honest.
Landfish has seen his stack tumble to about 100,000 in the first level, and he'll need to right the ship soon.

Another Ivey tidbit:
It was heads-up between Erick Lindgren and Ivey, and it looks like E-Dog was the preflop raiser. He continued out with 4,500 on the 
flop. Ivey stuck in a raise to 11,500, though, and Lindgren tanked for a few long minutes before surrendering.
Ivey's still chipping up, closing in on 150,000.

Chris Moorman opened up the action with a bet of 3,500 in early position and Kevin MacPhee three-bet to 8,500 from the hijack seat. The action folded around to Moorman, who was staring at some random piece of felt, and he reached into his stack before coming out with a four-bet to 20,500. Moorman's posture then returned as it was. MacPhee had a cap on, sunglasses and a hood covering the lot. In fact he looked more likely to rob a bank than win a poker tournament.
MacPhee made a very quick five-bet to 37,500 and continued to stare at Moorman. Then for the first time during the hand the tension broke; Moorman asking MacPhee for a stack count. He had a little under 100,000 in front of him and Moorman had him covered. Moorman pulled a stack of blue chips from his stack and started to riffle them as he contemplated his next decision.
"Pot," said Moorman quietly.
The dealer confirmed the price and it was 114,000 - enough to put MacPhee all-in. MacPhee took a sip of his coffee and pondered his decision, a ponder that included a near shove and then a retraction. Eventually MacPhee folded before saying something very quietly to Moorman.
"I am not messing about," said Moorman which brought an eruption of laughter from Shaun Deeb.
