Max Kruse misread his hand to be left with just 500 chips and busted in the very next hand. Also on the rail are the likes of Ray Dehkharghani, Scott Seiver, Mike Matusow, Justin Liberto and Daniel Negreanu all bowed out early on.
Shaun Deeb: XxXx/3x8x6x5x/Xx
Perry Friedman: XxXx/2x9xJx folded on fifth street
Olli Kokko: XxXx/7xJxQx folded on fifth street
Noah Bronstein: XxXx/7x4x7xKx/Xx
Deeb completed and was called by Friedman, Kokko, and Bronstein.
Fourth street saw Bronstein lead out and all other players coming along.
Fifth's street bet from Deeb was only called by Bronstein, with Friedman and Kokko getting out of the way.
Sixth street saw Deeb bet and Bronstein call. Deeb checked seventh street before calling Bronstein's bet.
Deeb turned over 2x7x8x for a seven-six-five, but Bronstein tabled 2x3x6x for a seven-six-four to take down the pot.
Hal Rotholz: Ax6x4x / 5x10x8xQx
Roy Thung: Jx7x2x / Ax5x5x9x
Yingui Li: XxXx / 8x4x7x8x / Xx
Hal Rotholz tangled in a three-way pot with Roy Thung and Yingui Li with one bet each going on from fourth to sixth street. They checked seventh street and Thung announced a nine, flipping over his jack-seven-deuce in the hole. Li mucked but Rotholz won the pot with an eight.
"I finally won a pot before losing two bigger ones before," Rotholz said as he racked up the chips. They were on the move since several players busted from other tables and their table broke. Li was among the casualties shortly after as he could not run up his two big bets afterwards.
Nick Schulman: XxXx/4x7x6x7x/Xx
Takashi Ogura: XxXx/5x8x3x4x/Xx
Ogura completed with his five before Schulman raised with a four. Ogura three bet, and Schulman called.
Fourth street saw Schulman bet and receive a call. Fifth, sixth, and seventh streets all saw Ogura bet and Schulman come along.
After calling the bet on seventh street, Schulman flipped over Ax2x6x for the seven-six, and Ogura mucked.
Anthony Zinno: XxXx / 2xQx8x folded on fifth
Eli Elezra: 8x6x / 3x10x6x
Eli Elezra lost a pot early on but added a few chips back when he bet fourth and fifth street against Anthony Zinno. The latter folded when Elezra had a ten-six draw showing and Elezra exposed his 8x6x before raking in the pot.
Scott Seiver: XxXx / AxKx4x4x / Xx
Chamath Palihapitiya: XxXx / 2x10x8xKx / Xx
Despite having paired his four on sixth street, Scott Seiver bet and was called by businessman Chamath Palihapitiya. On Seventh street, Seiver bet again and Palihapitiya got out of the way. Both entered with a fresh stack of 60,000 and Seiver is off to the superior start.
Michael Moncek also entered late on the same table while Christopher Stephan and Robert Wells were eliminated at almost the same time.
Christopher Stephan: AxAx8x / 7x6x8x5x
Justin Liberto: 10x7x4x / 6x8x3x8x
On a table containing three new entries in Ben Lamb, Christopher Stephan and Justin Liberto, it was Stephan who bet fifth street and called a raise by Liberto. Both checked down sixth and seventh and Liberto won the pot with an eighty-seven as Stephan lost half of his stack right away.
Play has begun for the day with the tournament clock showing 123 entrants. Tournament staff are finalizing numbers and they will be shared when they are made available.
