Pre Dinner Casualties

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Gray had lost half of his stack and was all in for 10,400 with the {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, which David Wang had dominated with the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The board came {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and that spelled the end for Gray.

"You still have time Jason," Michael O'Grady said in table chat, referring to the possible re-entry until the end of the upcoming dinner break.

It would be O'Grady that also ran out of chips two hands later when his {k-Spades}{10-Spades} failed to connect with the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} board when facing Tolly Sakellariou and his {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} in showdown.

Gray had re-entered before the end of the level, while O'Grady may still do so. Hussein Hassan and Mikael Larsson also busted, fewer than 40 players remain.
