John Caldwell Busto

John "Schecky" Caldwell has been eliminated from Event #1. He moved all in with 8-8 and he ran into players holding 10-10 and pocket Queens. His hand could not improve and he headed to the rail.

Although Caldwell had an early exit, he got some good news. His lovely wife, Jen Leo, won a tournament back home in Las Vegas at the Planet Hollywood casino.

Julian Powell Eliminated

Julian Powell limped in from early position, and three more players limped behind him. The flop was {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}. The action was checked around to Powell, who moved all in for his remaining 1,750, and Kit Manoel called. Powell turned up {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} while Manoel held straight and flush draws with the {J-Spades}{4-Spades}. The turn was the {A-Spades}, giving Powell a set, but the river was the disastrous {7-Spades}, making Manoel's flush and eliminating Powell from the tournament.
