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.

Dutch Doubles One Up
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.
