Million-Chip Stacks Meet

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

For most likely the first time during this tournament, two players at the same table are now sitting behind seven-figure chip stacks.

Quoc Vo has been seated in the Brasilia Room for the majority of the day and enjoyed being the lone table captain. However, with play restarting and more tables breaking, one of the Day 2ab chip leaders, Mickey Craft, has relocated to the same table as Vo.

Vo is nestled behind a stack of nearly 1.1 million chips, while Craft took down one of the first pots upon his arrival and now sits with nearly 1.2 million.

"A Devastating Pair of Hands" Leads to Greg Raymer's Demise

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

According to 2004 WSOP Main Event Champion Grey Raymer (via Twitter), an unfortunate couple hands led to his elimination about an hour ago.

Raymer's downfall began when he lost 65,000 chips with pocket tens against pocket sixes after a six fell on the river to give his opponent a set.

In the very next hand, a player in early position raised to 9,500, a player in middle position called, and Raymer moved all in for 84,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and the initial raiser re-shoved. The remaining player folded, and they showed down.

Raymer: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Raymer was in good shape to double up, but the {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop put that dream to rest. The {10-Clubs} turn and the {3-Hearts} river changed nothing, and Raymer's run in the Main Event was cut short.

On Twitter, Raymer shared his feelings about the turn of events: "Just a devastating pair of hands. Oh, what might have been."
