Most tables are currently short handed. A few are heads up and many are three-handed. There are still a handful of tables with five to seven people.

We caught Phil Hellmuth open for 900 and action folded around to Vitor Coelho in the big blind - who called. The flop came
and Coelho check-called 1,600. The turn came
and both players checked. The river brought the
, Coelho bet 4,500 and Hellmuth tossed in a call.
Coelho tabled
for a straight and Hellmuth was beside himself. "Is this real?" Hellmuth wondered aloud, followed by some hushed and muttered curses. "F@#% man, what a bad beat," he mumbled before releasing his cards.
By time we finished typing the post we saw Hellmuth get up and leave the tournament after being eliminated.

We have our first winner in Event 36: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout.
Max Silver was heads up with Jeff Shulman on Table 39, and Silver had a large lead. Silver extended the lead when he made jacks-full in a hand, and Shulman was left with less than ten big blinds. The two got all the chips in pre flop a few minutes later, and the hands were opened.

We saw 2010 November Niner Fillipo Candio limp into the pot, Amanda Musumeci raised and Candio re-raised all in. Musumeci called and the hands were tabled.
Mucumeci:

Candio:

The board ran
and Candio was eliminated. Musumecia has the chiplead at her table.
A short-stacked opponent moved all in over a raise from Jason Koon, and the action folded back to Koon who reached for chips to call.
"I have a pretty one, buddy," Koon told his opponent.
Koon tabled 
, and was very much alive against his opponent's 
. The 

flop propelled him into the lead, and the turn and river bricked
,
respectively.
Table 47 is now four-handed, with Koon, Tristan Wade, and two others looking to advance to Day 2.
Minutes after our last report, we noticed that Ivey's chair was empty again. It's not because he went back to Event 35 either - it's because he has zero chips.
