[snoopy1239]

Meanwhile, in the Final of the $2,000 No Limit Hold 'Em Shootout Event, blondeite Roland 'Rolandinho' De Wolfe has just eliminated David Bloch in 7th.

K-K vs Q-Q

5-A-5-2-2

Bhupinder Kohli is on 10.5k. Apparantly, after his ferocious start, he hasn't seen a hand within the last 2 hours, apart from Jacks which he was forced to release due to some heavy preflop action.

Tony G has just eliminated Mateyboy from the Omaha Event (A-3-A-K on an 8-J-7-J-5 board), which means there are just 13 left, one of whom is Peter Costa. Also plugging away is fellow European Bruno Fitoussi.

And the tournament is down one Sverre Sundbo -
With the blinds at 100/200 ante 25, he limped in early position.  A rather annoyed-looking button, when it folded to him, popped it to 1,500.  The blinds got out of the way and Sverre immediately moved in for 3,375 more.  A strong move, if Mr. Button hadn't been sitting on - Sverre's made a flush, but it was in hearts, so was beaten by the Button.

No sign of Annie Duke, Johnny Chan, Erik Seidel, Erick Lindgren, Men 'The Master', or Chris Moneymaker.

how many left in???

beefy

410 in the $1,500 No Limit - I think pretty precisely 410 as a table was reassigning its players this very minute - this means that over three quarters of the field is On The Rail already.
