Self Crushing
Level 14
No-Limit Hold'em
Wes Self appears to be on the uptick at Table 628 where he just amassed a stack of around 130,000 after besting Justin Bonomo in a no-limit hold'em pot. The board had come 
and Self bet 15,000 into about 30,000 from the button. Bonomo didn't think long before mucking, and he's down a decent amount from his peak.

Defending Champ Out
Level 14
A-5 Triple Draw
Lawrence Berg, who won this event last year, has been eliminated from the tournament in 45th place.
Speaking to Anthony Arvidson, he informed our PokerNews reporter that in a capped pot he made a steel wheel — 
— while Berg managed to make a seven-low and called all in after the first draw.
With Berg now on the rail, a new champion will be crowned this year, although a repeat champion is still possible as Robert Mizrachi still remains in the tournament.

Not-So-Nice Hand Good for Hang
Level 14
Badeucey
Tommy Hang defended his big blind from a button raise by Raoul Encinas. Hang took three and Encinas two. Both players checked then took two. Hang came out betting and Encinas called. Hang patted and Encinas took one. Two checks finished the end and Hang turned over 
for a king-king. Encinas showed what looked like 
and then seemed upset as if he had possibly misread his hand.
He told Hang he had a nice hand.
"I don't think that's a nice hand in any book," Hang said with a laugh.
