The Field Loses Four In Two Hands To Bring The Main Event Into The Money
After nearly two full levels without losing a player, four players busted in quick succession to bring the field into the money without a hand for hand play.
The first hand saw Trent Wilson move all in from the button with his last 80,000 which Hamilton Ngo called to put him at risk.

At another table, Scott Hall was all in and at risk against Daniel "Donk" Hughes.

One hand later, Johnny Campanello got in his final chips in on the flop in a massive pot against James Stone on a board reading

The river connected with Stone who took down the pot with his kings up and Campanello exited the tournament.
Back to the other table where Hughes had just sent somebody out, Deborah Phillips raised to 16,000 from under the gun which saw Terence Reid move all in for 81,000 from late position and in the big blind, Kenneth King moved all in for 70,000 and Phillips folded.
