According to Nick Palma and Michael Clemente, Clemente was recently eliminated from play after getting his aces cracked.

"This was the sickest hand of the day," Palma said, "He should be chip leader," Palma says pointing to Clemente. 

Apparently Jason Pardy opened to 3,500 in early middle position, another player shoved all in from later position for 23,000, and with action on Clemente, he shoved all in for his 115,000 stack on the button. It folded back to Pardy who called, having both players covered. 

Clemente: A-A

The very last hand of the night, there were two limpers, and Mike Nye limped on the button. Carlo Sciannameo raised in the small blind, it folded back to Nye on the button who shipped all in, for around 55,000, and Sciannameo snap called.

Nye was in trouble holding QQ♠ against Sciannameo's AA♣,but the flop came queen high, giving Nye a set.

Unfrutnately for Sciannameo, the turn and river did not improve his hand, and Nye doubled up the very last hand of the night, and Sciannameo was left with just over ten bigs to start tomorrow's Day 2. 

Mike Nye - 115,000
Carlo Sciannameo - 17,500

A player in early position raises to 2,600 in early position. Solomon Yi calls the 2,600 in middle position, and Dan Chalifour re-raises to 8,700 in the cutoff. The early position raiser folds, and Yi announces that he is all in. Chalifour asks for a count and the dealer tells him that it's an additional 31,500 on top of the 8,700 bet. Chalifour pauses for a few seconds and then calls.

Yi: A♠K♣
Chalifour: KQ♣

The flop comes J98♣, giving Chalifour a gutshot straight draw, but leaving Yi in the lead with his ace high.

The 3♣ turn is safe for Yi, as is the 8♠ river, and he doubles up just before the start of the last level of the night.

Solomon Yi - 85,400
Dan Chalifour - 56,000
