ElkY Eliminates Player

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier recently eliminated a player from his table.

We unfortunately missed all the details, but when we arrived at the table Grospellier had {K-}{Q-} sitting in front of him and {A-}{6-} was in front of the empty seat. There were two queens on the board, and ElkY was stacking his newfound chips.

With that knockout he's now up to 35,000 chips.

False Accusations FTW

We were walking through the Pavilion Room when we heard a commotion coming from Table 12.

Apparently a player in Seat 5 accused Neil Channing of working with another English player at the table.

"Just because I haven't had a hand in an hour and this man is from my a country - a country filled with 57 million people - you think I'm working on a team with him???" Channing shot at him.

A floorperson listened to both sides of the argument before completely dismissing the accusation and telling the table to, "Play nice."

Mind you that the same player that made this accusation earlier complained about folding after the dealer fanned a flop:

(Dealer flops the cards.)
Player: F***
Dealer: You can't do that sir.
Player: What? Say f***?
Dealer: Well yeah, but you can't react to the flop like that. You're giving away information.
(Player doesn't understand and shrugs.)

Boeree Tanks...Calls...Sweats...Chops....

An early-position player raised to 1,800 and Liv Boeree popped it to 5,000 on the button. The blinds folded and the original raiser made the call.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Boeree's opponent shoved. After confirming the amount, 13,300, Boeree tanked for about 90 seconds and opted to make the call. She showed {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and her opponent slowly revealed...{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

The {10-Clubs} turn was a sweat for Boeree, but the river {10-Spades} chopped the pot.

Liv has about 20,000.

Six-Figure Stack

We've spotted out first stack over six-figures, and it belongs to James Lee.

We missed the specifics of the hand in which he eclipsed it, but we saw him bringing in a wave of chips. Here are some other chip counts we've spotted on the floor:

The Phantom Queen of Diamonds

Laying between Tables 13 and 18 was a card face up; the {Q-Diamonds}.

A player on Table 13 picked it up and gave it to a player on Table 18 saying, "It's not ours."

The dealer on Table 13 counted both decks and they both contained 52 cards. A floorperson was called over and was outraged.

"Are you kidding me?!?" he snapped. "We've gotta find where this came from."

The hunt is on for the home of the phantom {Q-Diamonds}, members of the floor are counting numerous decks in the area.
