We haven't had the chance to write much on the defending champ of this event, Aaron Steury, though we can confirm he is holding steady over at Table 27. We can't seem to catch him in a hand, but that doesn't mean he's not getting involved, as evidenced by his Twitter.
NDGrinder Aaron Steury Lost a bizarre razz hand where I had (A2) 5 to start 3 bets 3 ways and the ole T873 board bet 6th and 7th into 3467 and my 5Q32 board

We can also confirm that Steury took time during the dinner break to serve as a guest on the PokerNews Podcast, which should available soon in itunes.

Omaha Hi/Low:
On a board reading 
, an unknown player checked to Sam Grizzle and he fired out a bet. A call ensued and then the same action occurred on the 
river. "Small philly," Grizzle said in his unique drawl and rolled over 
for a full house.
"You know what a small philly is?" Grizzle asked to Ed Brogdan, who spots a Doyle-like cowboy hat. "You grow up on a ranch?"
Brogdan shook his head affirmative that he knew that a "small philly" was a full house and added, "We all knew you had that."
"He didn't," Grizzle reacted and pointed to the unsuspecting caller. Grizzle is sitting just over the chip average with 10,000.

Limit Hold'em:
Action folded to 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Jonathan Duhamel in the cutoff and he put in a raise. Both the button and small blind got out of the way, but Ben Lukas opted to defend from the big. The 
flop saw Lukas check and Duhamel, who had 1,400 left, put out a bet. Lukas sprang to like with a check-raise, Duhamel three-bet before calling off to a Lukas four-bet.
Showdown
| Duhamel |   |
| Lukas |   |
Both players had flopped middle pair, but Duhamel had kicker issues. Neither the 
turn nor river would provide him the help he needed and he exited in the middle of Level 7.

Stud:
When we arrived at Table 23, Don Zewin was collecting his things and we naturally assumed he had been eliminated. A quick check of the cards confirmed this as Zewin's 
(x) failed to overcome the 
of his opponent.
Zewin, who was fresh off his runner-up finish to Phil Hellmuth in Event 18: $2,500 Seven Card Razz, became one of the first causalities of Level 8.

Every time we come back to the computer to write a post and then venture back out into the field, a whole slew of players have hit the rail. Since out last time out, Mike Sexton, Joseph Cheong and Jeff Madsen have all hit the rail.
