David Kronick Busts

All in preflop, Joshua Freeman has {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and David Kronick has {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}. The board is {9-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Freeman has 160,000.

Kronick is eliminated.

"He's either got a tee time or just wanted two live cards," says another player at the table.

Russ Silva Doubles Through Jason Glass

Jason Glass opened from middle position with a raise to 12,500. Russ Silva moved all in from the cutoff seat for 50,000 total and when action folded back to Glass, he made the call. The players showed:

Silva: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Glass: {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

The board helped neither player as it came {10-Spades} {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {3-Hearts} and Silva doubled up to just over 110,000 chips leaving Glass with around 450,000.

Refer to Your Tournament Director's Handbook

No doubt quite a few players were out last night celebrating the fact that they cashed in the Main Event. One such player is sitting at Table 6 and looking a little green around the gills, and he asked the dealer, "If I throw up on the table, is that a penalty?"

Greg Peters Eliminated

On one of the very first hands of play at his table, Greg Peters got his remaining chips all in preflop holding {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} vs. Lonnie Heimowitz's {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}. Heimowitz had Peters well covered.

The flop was {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}.

"Ace, king, jack!" called Peters, praying for one of his outs to hit.

The turn, though was the {6-Hearts}, the river was the {9-Diamonds} and Peters was eliminated.

Heimowitz is now up to 660,000.

Scott: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Stephen: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Board: {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Zakheim is one of our first bustouts today.
