Baxter & Meetal Busted

We recently learned that two notables were eliminated just before the dinner break. The first was seven-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Billy Baxter, who met his end at the hands of Mike Parisi. It happened when Baxter held {K-}{9-} against Parisi's {K-}{10-} on a {10-}{9-}{x-} flop. Baxter couldn't improve and his day came to an end.

The other notable to hit the rail was Govert Meetal. In his last hand, he opened for 1,800 with {A-}{K-} and then called a three-bet to 5,200 from Yin Sun, who happened to hold {A-}{A-}. The flop came down {K-}{J-}{10-} and Sun led out for 10,300, prompting Meetal to move all in for a little over 20,000. Sun made the call and Meetal would fail to improve.
