Jan Suchanek, who placed 19th in this event last year, has built his stack of 30,000 starting chips up to 110,000. Recently, Suchanek busted two players, one with pocket aces against his opponent's ace-king.
Natasha Barbour was missing in action, but her former opponents were kind enough to inform us of what happened.
Dylan Honeyman, the benefiter of Barbour's bust out, told us how the player under the gun limped after which Barbour raised to 1,600 under the gun plus one, and Honeyman called on her direct left.
The flop came down and Barbour bet 1,600 after the under-the-gun player checked, and Honeyman was her only caller.
On the turn an hit and Barbour moved all in for 7,000 and Honeyman called with for a set of queens. Barbour showed and she had no outs going to the river.
Dutchman Daniel Reijmer just busted one of the most accomplished tournament professionals in the building, as Kevin MacPhee ran into his pocket aces. MacPhee raised to 800 from the hijack and Reijmer called before James Obst three-bet from the button.
Both blinds folded and MacPhee took about 10 seconds before moving all in for 12,275. The action was now back on Reijmer, who made it 25,000 and that got Obst to fold.

The board ran out and MacPhee was knocked out while Reijmer chipped up to around 145,000.
We just saw Kahle Burns exit the tournament room, and Michael Egan who we found stacking chips was asked what happened.
Egan told us how Burns raised under the gun and one player called before he did so as well from the big blind. The flop brought out with two clubs and one heart, on which Egan checked. Burns bet 1,500 and the other player folded before Egan called.
The turn brought the and Egan checked again. Burns bet 3,800 and Egan check-raised all in for 12,000 effectively, and the former called all in to risk his tournament life.
