Lichtenberger Crippled; Then Eliminated
In the first hand, Andrew Lichtenberger opened from the button and was met with an all-in shove by Jason Wheeler in the big blind for just under 400,000. Lichtenberger thought it over and opted to call.
Lichtenberger: 
Wheeler: 
The board ran out 
, giving Wheeler the double up with a pair of queens and knocking Lichtenberger down to his last 130,000.
On the very next hand, Joseph Cheong opened from under-the-gun and it was folded around to Lichtenberger in the cutoff, who went all in. It was folded back to Cheong, who called to put Lichtenberger at risk.
Cheong: 
Lichtenberger: 
The 
board gave Cheong a winning flush on the river and knocked Lichtenberger out of the tournament.
