Sometimes It's Hard to Cope

We saw Tom Cope making a hasty exit from the tournament floor and a quick check at Table 6 confirmed that he had been eliminated by Paul Snead.

In other news from Table 6, Brandon Mandy was eliminated in 77th place. If you recall, Mandy began the day as the second-shortest stack with 12,300. He managed to work that all the way up to 140,000, but alas his comeback would fall short.
