The Magician Disappears
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
We noticed that Antonio Esfandiari was no longer in his seat, and a quick check with Jake Balsiger, who had been seated to "The Magician's" immediate left, confirmed that he had been eliminated from the tournament.
Balsiger said that Esfandiari, who was short stacked, had three-bet to 1,000 after an opponent had opened for 350. The initial raiser then moved all in and Esfandiari called off for 2,700. Esfandiari held 
, but it was dominated by the 
of his opponent. The board ran out clean and Esfandiari was sent to the rail.

What Does the Clock Say?

Ok, that's what the fox says. What the tournament clock for Event #15: $3,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em says is that the field currently stands at 736 players, which is 71 short of last year's field. With late registration open for several more hours, we expect that number to grow quite a bit. Will the tournament surpass last year's 807 players? Only time will tell.
One for the 2010 Main Event Champ
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
Jonathan Duhamel opened for 350 under the gun and the player in the big blind opted to defend. After the flop came down 
, the player in the big blind checked and then folded to a bet of 500 from Duhamel.
It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to let you know that the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champ is in the field and doing fine.

Newey Eliminates Kirby
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
Matt Kirby was recently eliminated from the tournament. We missed the hand, but he was kind enough to inform us that he ran queens into kings against the player in Seat 1. That player just so happens to be Paul Newey, who will be playing the Big One for One Drop later this summer.
