Pros Hitting the Rail
Livello 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
We missed their elimination hands but both Barry Greenstein and Greg Raymer have been eliminated from the tournament.
Obrestad Ousting the Competition
Livello 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Annette Obrestad can do no wrong, at least for now.
We walked by just as Obrestad scooped a small pot after value-betting with aces. In the very next hand, Obrestad raised to 300 from under-the-gun and was called by both the blinds. The flop came 
and everyone checked. Everyone checked again when another hit the turn. However, when the river came a 
, the big blind led out for a near pot-sized bet. Obrestad thought for a bit, but made the call. Her opponent tabled ace-high and Obrestad revealed an 
for top pair, which was good enough to scoop the pot.
Obrestad currently sits just above 14,000.
Bloch Doubles Early
Livello 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Andy Bloch recently sat down and apparently isn't wasting any time chipping up. We saw a player open-raise to 500 and Bloch responded by shoving his remaining 2,300 into the middle from the small.
The big blind over-called and the original raiser folded. We missed how the board ran out but it appears that Bloch won a race situation with against his opponent's pocket nines, chipping him up to just under 5,000.
Boeken Building His Stack
Livello 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Noah Boeken raised to 300 from the button and both the blinds called. The flop came 
and the small blind bet out 350. The big blind called and Boeken raised a large amount that had both the other players covered. The small blind called all in and the big blind folded.
Boeken: 
Small Blind: 
The turn brought the 
giving the all-in player some straight outs, but the 
on the river didn't help him and Boeken knocked him out.
After the hand Boeken had around 8,600.
Matusow Making the Rounds With a Bad Beat Tale
Livello 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
While circling the Pavilion we encountered Mike "The Mouth" Matusow living up to his moniker as he regaled fellow pros Phil Laak, Jennifer Tilly and John Duthie with a story involving a $90,000 suckout.
We didn't catch the juicy details but apparently somebody spiked a "sick two-outer" on The Mouth to cost him a massive pot. Matusow appeared to be taking the beat in stride, however, smiling as he commiserated with his friends from the tournament circuit.

Livello 4
: 75/150, 0 ante

Unabomber Blown Up on River
Livello 5
: 75/150, 0 ante
We missed the action ourselves but according to Rich Ellis, the player who busted Phil Laak from today's tournament, the "Unabomber" shoved all-in for about 2,400 chips after Ellis raised to 425.
Ellis made the call with his 
and found himself dominated by by the 
of Laak. According to Ellis, the flop provided two diamonds and gave Ellis 9 additional outs to take the pot. The turn was a blank and the "Unabomber" was one card away from doubling up.
A on the river was not the card Laak wanted to see, however, and he made his way over to wife Jennifer Tilly's table to inform her of his fate.
Rheem Hits the Rail
Livello 5
: 75/150, 0 ante
Chino Rheem was short stacked and got all his chips in with the 
against another player's 
. The flop was definitely not what Rheem was looking for when it came 
to give the other player a full house. The fell on the turn giving Rheem a bit of hope and he called for the fourth ace to hit on the river but alas, the river brought the 
eliminating Rheem from the tournament.
