Warren Wooldridge has been eliminated from today's event. The former Luton runner-up and WSOP finalist three-bet pocket queens preflop (275 to 775, according to a former table mate), before pushing all in on an ace high flop. His opponent, however, was trapping with Big Slick, and called quicker than a cheetah on Concord. A lady-less turn and river, and Wooldrige was toast.

Marty Smyth's elimination came after he got his fairly shallow stack in on a 
board with 
against 
in a blind on blind battle. No jack on the 
turn or 
river and that was all she wrote for the former bracelet and Irish Open winner.
Like Frank Bruno and Mike Tyson in the twilight of their careers, Sam Trickett and Marc Goodwin have both hit the deck and been eliminated from today's event. Incredibly, it was just one punch that took them both out, Trickett pushing all in with 
but running into 
and the of Marc Goodwin. The tens held, and the two UK pros were gone.
Disclaimer: Former table mate Alex Rousso supplied the details.
Level: 4

They say you've got to win those big coin flips, but Kevin MacPhee just lost possibly the biggest of the day so far, all in with 
versus 
but unable to survive an 
board. His assassin was Matt Nieberg, who is now one of the early pace-setters with circa 12,000 in chips.
Nik Persaud opened preflop to 375 and got one caller on the button to see a flop of 
.
Persaud fired out 500 only to find the button raising to 1,425. Persaud thought for a minute and moved all-in, quickly being called.
"Ahh, the hands I get into...What do you have? A slow-played overpair?"
The button flipped 
to Persaud's 
knocking out the Brit after a 
turn and a 
river.
Howard Lederer has doubled up. We didn't see how but there was a matching quite well with a 
board presumably against Kevin Williams and a 5,100 pot heading the way of the "Professor".
Andriena Nutt is out. She didn't have her sprinting shoes on as she lost a race with 
versus 
, the board coming 
to send her home.
