Dominik Nitsche won his second bracelet a few weeks ago when he took down the WSOP National Championship in Atlantic City and is looking for a third here in Las Vegas. His wait will have to go on a little longer because he's been eliminated from the Millionaire Maker.
We didn't catch his exit hand, but the fact there is a different person sat in Nitsche's former seat and the young German is nowhere to be seen in the tournament area points towards an exit for Nitsche.
It would be quite interesting to know how many players fired two bullets today. One of them was Donald Swartz, but it looks like he didn't get going in either flight and busted twice.
The tournament staff have introduced a new denomination chip into play, they are the T5,000 and are bright orange in colour. Each stack of them is worth a cool T100,000.
Ben Dobson and Jimmy Fricke have both doubled their stacks and have a little more breathing room than a few minutes ago.
Dobson three-bet for 4,225 over the top of an early position raise and was called by the initial raiser. Dobson flipped over and was ahead of his opponent's . Dobson had the hand locked up on the turn of the board and is now hovering around 9,500 chips.
Fricke is now up to around 13,000 after his connected with a ten-high flop in what was an all-in hand.
John Gulino is ending his night by sharing a table with Bernard Lee, Maria Ho and Roni Chamani among others. There are certainly easy tables in the room.
We heard a loud scream from a player and arrived at the table to see John Beauprez with and the pocket queens of the opponent already mucked. His rival apparently pledged to the dealer and this fired back in truly evil way when the dealer fanned the flop. Both had almost the same stack and the opponent with 23,525 was covered by less than 1,000 chips.
One hand later, Beauprez three-bet to 3,500 after a raise to 1,500 but could not connect with the board and saw his ace king suited lose to on a checked down board.
