Film actor James Woods was furious just after the break as his chips had been moved to another table. As he was unable to find his seat, he lost the blinds.

A couple photos from the early afternoon...

Greg Raymer busted out early.

[snoopy1239]

Clonie Gowan -- 3,600
Chris Moneymaker -- 700
badpab -- 2,000
Sverre Sundbo -- 8,500
Mike Matusow -- 7,150

badpab did have 5k at one point but lost more than half of it being "too agressive"

Just caught Matusow betting 700 into a 5-Q-9 (two clubs) flop - opponents folded.

Chris Moneymaker is OUT

Meanwhile, Tony G and blondeite Peter Costa have made it into the final 18 of the Omaha rebuy.

Please forgive Snoopy, I don't think he's had breakfast...

Just before the BREAK (which is now) I saw Irish Denis heading for the rope prematurely, and yes, he was out.  He raised preflop to 600, was re-raised his last chips (2.5k or so) and called with .  "I was up against Fives."
"That's it?"
"That's it."

So there's your story.

Here's a pensive Carlo Citrone, on around 7,400 currently.

Other couple of counts from that area - -

John Gale    5,200
Juha Helppi  4,800

Now that the field has shrunk to the point where they can take communal breaks, my carefully drawn up blondeite-map is totally useless as they're effectively playing musical chairs.

The players are currently on a short break.

[snoopy1239]

Miami John Cernuto -- 8,225
David Sklansky -- 5,100
Jimmy Hunter -- 900
TJ Cloutier -- 8,900
Padraig Parkinson -- 5,600
Doyle Brunson -- 2,500

Correction on the Moneymaker exit report.

He's still in, but is clinging.

He just bet 400 into flop, Mateyboy called then bet the Turn.

Moneymaker is down to the felt with just 600.

[snoopy1239]

Well, taking a fleeting glance, it looks as though the Event has been sliced in half with just the right hand side of the cardroom being devoted to today's $1,500 Event.

Meanwhile, Mike Matusow has joined Padraig Parkinson's table.
