2009 November Niner Jeff Shulman and 2004 final tablist Josh Arieh have been eliminated from the 2010 Main Event.
We were unable to catch either of their bustout hands due to the Alcatraz-like security at the main feature table, but during our last trip to grab their counts we found their seats empty.
On the flop of 
, Brandon Cantu fired a bet of 3,600 and got called. The turn and river came the 
and 
and both streets were checked. Cantu tabled the 
to win the pot and picked up some chips to get back to 38,000.
Gavin Smith just lost a few grand in chips when he called a 8,506 bet from an opponent with 15,000 already in the middle and a board reading 
. Smith mucked when his opponent showed 
and is down to 27,000 in chips.
A large group of people gathered around Kenny Tran's table brought us rushing over to see that Tran had moved all in for about 40,000 on a board of 
. Tran's larger-stacked opponent called with , a pair of queens. That hand was drawing slim against Tran's pair of aces, 
. A blank 
on the river gave Tran a double-up to about 140,000.
We arrived to find Jack Ury, at 97 years old the most senior player in the tournament by a long way, all in for his last 4,700 in the big blind position. His opponent was on the button.
Mr. Button: 
Ury: 
Board: 
"Did I win?" asked Ury, before cackling, "Ahh ha ha ha!" when he was informed that he had indeed more than doubled.
"I never give up," he told the table as he collected the 15,000 pot. Sage advice indeed.
Even the guy with the was rooting for Ury.
At 9:50 p.m. PST Brandon Cantu's twitter said the following:
"Im shoving this hand no matter what wish me luck."
Upon reading this, one of our tournament reporters rushed to his table and he was indeed all in after a player in front of him raised to 3,000 and another player called. Both opponents folded after Cantu shoved, and he chipped up to 31,000.
Cantu admitted to the table that he tweeted his blind shove, and after a player to his right questioned him he showed him the tweet in question.
Social networking FTW!
This can be a very cruel game. Ask Ylon Schwartz - the 2008 November Niner was at 98,000 last time we saw him, and in just two back-to-back hands he was gone.
We understand that he flopped a straight which lost out to a flush draw in the first hand. No-one could tell us what happened on the next hand, but we can only assume that it was equally unpleasant.
With Gabriel Walls slipping down the charts, the door has been left open for Ricardo Fasanaro to enjoy some time at the top. At the moment, he's the chip leader with 365,000, my field reporter informing me that he just won no fewer than eight consecutive hands. What a show-off!
Ted Bort may have been robbed off Prahlad Friedman's stack earlier in the day on a disputed floor decision. But he's still in the tournament and still chipping up. On a flop of 
, the cutoff player bet 12,400 and Bort, in position, immediately raised to 32,400. The cutoff player thought for about a minute before making the call.
The turn was the 
. The cutoff checked, drawing an all-in bet from Bort of 84,700. Again the cutoff tanked, but this time he folded. Bort immediately flippe over 
, overjoyed to win the pot.
"Did you have that beat?" he asked. Another player at the table supplied an answer.
"If he had that beat he would have called."
Bort is up to about 150,000.
Jean-Robert Bellande was riding a shorter stack for much of the evening and finally made a move, getting all his chips in the middle against a single opponent.
Bellande: 
Opponent:
Bellande managed to spike a set when the flop came 
, but it left his opponent looking for a jack to complete a straight-draw. The straight missed with the on the turn as well as the on the river and Bellande is now up to 84,000.
