Featured Table - Daniel Alaei Doubles Through Jerry Yang

On the Featured Table, Daniel Alaei has the button in seat 5, he limps for 60,000, Jerry Yang raises from the small blind to 260,000, Alaei moves all in for 1.54 million, and Yang calls with {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Alaei shows {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive. Kenny Tran says that he folded A-10.

The flop comes {Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and Yang retains the lead with his ten kicker. The turn card is the {8-Clubs}, and Alaei needs to catch a five on the river to stay alive.

The river card is the -- {5-Spades}! The crowd applauds as Daniel Alaei catches a three-outer on the river to survive and double up to over 3.1 million in chips.
Not the first time for him.

Featured Table - Christian Togsverd Eliminated in 33rd Place ($285,678)

Featured Table Hand #4 - Jon Kalmar has the button in seat 3, Kenny Tran raises from early position to 180,000, Tuan Lam calls from middle position, Stefan Mattson calls from the small blind, Christian Togsverd moves all in from the big blind for about 1.8 million, Tran folds, and Lam thinks for a few minutes before he calls. Mattson quickly folds.

Togsverd shows {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, and Lam shows {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. Togsverd needs to improve to survive.

The flop comes {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and Lam flops a set of queens to take a dominant lead in the hand. Togsverd needs something runner-runner to survive.

The turn card is the {4-Spades}, and Togsverd is drawing dead. (The meaningless river card is the {J-Diamonds}.) Lam wins the pot with his set of queens.

Christian Togsverd is eliminated in 33rd place, earning $285,678.

If Alaei gets chips he's gonna be trouble...but man I don't really like a limp reraise all in from the button with A5o.

man i just don't get it... i remember them removing 1 level from the structure this year, but i can't figure out why last year and this year, compared to 2005, have been soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fast.

i never in a million years thought after 2005 i would see 36 players whittled down to 9 in a day.

[/ QUOTE ]

Last year seemed ridiculously fast, I am shocked to see it going so quickly again, but I think the pressure of big money has really started effecting all of the amateur players. They see the blinds getting huge and start pushing.

They see the blinds getting huge or they IMAGINE the blinds getting huge?
