All in on a flop, it looked like a massive cold deck tragedy for Chris Elliot -- until the turn and river made him a full house, doubling him up to around 60,000 and leaving his opponent with mere shrapnel.

Her reign is over
Annette Obrestad will not be this year's WSOPE queen, as her went up against Marco Traniello's , which hit.
Just a few moments later, there was further action on the feature table as Antonio Esfandiari ran into some pocket aces. His hit a king on the turn, and shortly after all the chips went in, Esfandiari went out.
On one of the non-feature tables, a woefully short-stacked Chris Bjorin also made a quiet exit.

Tom Dwan: 17,500
Scotty Nguyen: 10,000 (claims "110,000, baby!")
Juha Helppi: 45,000

James Keys: 13,550

Tom Dwan took down a monster pot, which ended with Dwan moving all in on the river of the board and Lauri Keinonen folding. Neither player showed their hand to the table, but Dwan showed his cards to the ESPN show-us-your-cards machine, so there's something to look forward to on the ESPN highlights, Dwan fans...

David "Devilfish" Ulliott raised under the gun, only for Peter Turmezey to shove from the button for around 12,000 total. "All in, eh?" said Devilfish, rather obviously. After some thought, he called.

In a lucky escape, Devilfish got to take his chips back, while unfortunate Turmezey missed out on a much-needed double-up.

Yikes. No more dealing for that Tournament Director...
