J-6 Mike? You're such a fish!

Phil Hellmuth and Chip Reese are all in preflop. Reese shows pocket tens while Hellmuth flips over Q-9 and will need to improve to stay alive. The flop was 10-7-3 giving Reese top set. The turn and river are blanks eliminating Phil Hellmuth from the tournament.

Chip Reese advances to the next round.

Can't wait to see this one on TV.

Mike Matusow and Eli Elezra get all of their chips in preflop. Matusow has Ah-3s but Elezra shows As-Jd. The board comes 9s-8h-6h-4d-7d and Mike Matusow has been eliminated.

Eli Elezra advances to the next round.

Does this mean Mike will finally stop repeating the "joke" that the only reason Hellmuth won last time was because Mike was in Jail? I hope on tonight's circuit he says that heads up NLHE is a no-skill game for idiots who can't play poker.

Runner runner quads twice, straight flushes check raising, Raymer's miracle hands, etc.

Did Party Poker supply the dealers for this tournament, god.

There really is no such thing as a "major upset" in this thing. Phil Ivey was a favorite, but probably not even 2-1 on Chad Brown. Greg Raymer said it best when he said no one is better than 40-1 in this event.
