When we reached the table, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey were heads up with the board reading . Both players checked.
The turn was the , and Hellmuth led for 1,000. Ivey raised to 3,000, and Hellmuth quickly moved all in. Ivey thought for a moment before folding, leaving himself with just 5,500 chips.
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.
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.
Cards are back in the air following the break. They will play two more levels and then they have the dinner break. Players can opt to play through the break for a level if they choose to.
We have our first winner in Event 36: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout.

The board ran out ......, eliminating Shulman from the tournament, and sending Silver into Day 2.
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.
