Event 9: Dropping Names, Dropping Players

$630 + $70 NL

Mike Beasley

Mike Beasley has entered the fray, fresh from his 2nd place finish in the NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event where he cashed for $428,000 just four days ago.

Mike dropped a few chips moments ago when his flopped set of 8s got rivered by a straight. He's still got about 8k out of his starting stack of 12k.

Also in the mix today are Gordon Eng, Natale Kuey, Bob Hwang, Eric Doerr, 'Syracuse' Chris Tsiprailidis, Michael Sukonik, Davidson Matthew, MJ Bernstein, and Dean Schultz.

Steven Cho

One player has already hit the bricks today. On the turn with a board of 8 3 3 8 seat 3 got all-in holding pocket 4s, only to see Steven Cho (Derwood, MD) held pocket Aces. The Aces held and seat 3 was ousted. Steven is the early chip leader -- he's already up to about 26k.
