We strolled by Matt Affleck's seat to find it vacant, his tournament life come to an end.
On the other side of the Brasilia room we found David Chicotsky sitting on a stack of 7,500. To Chicotsky's immediate right is 2007 WSOP Main Event champion Jerry Yang with a stack of 8,100.
We found Dutch Boyd call the all in of a short stacked opponent before the flop. Boyd's opponent was all in for about 2,100 and held 
which was crushing Boyd's 
.
The board fell 
and Boyd was forced to ship a small chunk of chips over to his opponent. He's still sitting on a more than healthy stack, however.
We recently saw Amanda Musumeci walking out of the tournament area, her life in this tournament come to an end.
While perusing the rest of the Brasilia room, we stumbled on two other female poker players in the form of Kara Scott and Maridu Mayrinck.
We can report that Kyle Cartwright has been eliminated the first hand back from break. He moved all in under the gun with 
and was called by the 
of the small blind. The nines were able to hold and he was sent to the rail.
