A Few Early Eliminations and a Couple New Faces

Three levels are in the books and we've already lost a couple notables. Unfortunately we didn't catch their elimination hands, but we can confirm that Micah Raskin and Bobby Corcione have busted. Chance are they'll be back from the second flight, which starts at 5 p.m. EST.

In the meantime, poker fans will have the chance to see how both Kurt Jewell and Kevin Calenzo fare here on Day 1a. Both have recently entered the field and are looking to follow up their recent success. Calenzo is coming off a sixth-place finish in the Wynn's recent $ 5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship Event for $43,672, while Jewell just missed out on his record-tying sixth World Series of Poker Circuit ring when he finished runner-up to Aditya Prasetyo in Event #7 $365 NLHE here at Foxwoods. Despite not taking home a ring, Jewell boosted his bankroll by $13,369.
