This is PLO, which means the swings can be big. One man at the wrong end of things was Chad Brown, who has been eliminated from the tournament here in Level 2. We're not sure what happened, but we did grab a cryptic quote from someone who knew:
"He went out one bullet at a time," Jason Mercier said of his former table mate.

It's been a tough start WSOP Event #21 champion Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, who is now down to just 1,700 in chips with no lammers.
He's not finding any luck on his table either. After he raised to 200 from the cutoff in a previous hand, the opponent on the button re-raised to 500. The blinds got out of the way and Grospellier called before both players checked all the way down the board of 
.
However, Grospellier scowled and threw his hand away even before the button had even tabled his cards. For the record, the player had made two pair with his 
.
In contrast, on nearby table 30, Daniel Negreanu is on more than 25,000 (including both his lammers), much to the delight of the railbirds who have flocked en masse to see him in action. The "Kid" has still got it!

2010 November Niner Matt Jarvis started the hand very low stacked, but made up some ground after winning this big pot.
We came in on the turn when the board read 
Jarvis checked and the button player bet 1,000. Jarvis tanked for at least three minutes before making the call. The river came 
and again Jarvis checked and the button bet 1,850. This time, Jarvis tanked again for a good time and eventually made the call and showed 
for the turned straight. The button player in the hand said he had a set but mucked his hand.
Jarvis is up to only 10,000 after the hand and still has a lot of ground to make up to get back into it.

Eric Baldwin is down to his last 5,000 add on after losing a big three way all in at this table. When we came to the table, Baldwin had put in a raise to 1,000. The button made it 4,050 to go, and the big blind call. Baldwin then moved in for 7,000 total, and the other two got the rest of their chips in.
Baldwin:
Button: 
Big Blind: 
The board ran out 
, and the big blind not only hit quads, but hit three of his possible four outs. Baldwin just cashed in his last 5,000, and will be looking to get it back in a hurry.
A player on the button raised to 250 and received calls from the small blind and Sorel Mizzi in the big. The small blind proceeded to check the 
flop, Mizzi bet 550, and the original raiser folded. The small blind then check-called the bet, saw the hit the turn, and bet all in for his last 1,150. Mizzi made the call and the cards were turned up.
Mizzi: 
Small Blind: 
The small blind had turned a decent wrap with a flush draw, but at that point Mizzi's jacks were ahead. With so many cards left in the deck that could change the scenario, it was amazing that the peeled off and changed little. Mizzi improved to jacks and nines to win the pot and leave his opponent reaching for a rebuy chip.

The nightmare has continued for the Team PokerStars Pros, with Great Britain's JP Kelly down to 9,500 in chips as we approach the first break of the day.
The player in the UTG +1 position limped in before the flop and the action folded to Kelly who called from the small blind. David Chiu called from the big blind, then Kelly led out for 150 after the flop of 
. Chiu folded, but the UTG +1 player called before he called Kelly's opening bet of 450 on the turn of the 
.
Kelly then led out again for 500 on the river of the 
, which had the UTG +1 player confused. "Jeez, you must have a monster if you're betting that much," he moaned. "I can't lay this down, I call."
Kelly insta-mucked and the UTG +1 player showed 
for trips to take down the pot.
Kelly may still be alive, but the same can't be said for Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier - he gone.
