We just walked by Ari Engel's table and he appears to be gone. Since he's been nursing a short-stack all day, its safe to say that he's been eliminated.

Earlier we told you guys about a hand that Lex Veldhuis won where he check called the whole way. On this hand, it was Veldhuis's opponent who check called the whole way, but the result was the same: Veldhuis winning chips. Veldhuis was in the cutoff heads up against his opponent in the small blind on a flop of . The small blind check called a bet of 800 from Veldhuis. The turn brought the , and this time, he check called a 2,000 bet from Veldhuis. On the river, the , the small blind checked a third time, and when Veldhuis bet 5,200, he once again called.

We hadn't heard a lot of barking since Ted Bort's arrival during the previous level. Then we noticed Ted Bort's stack quickly sliding into the danger zone by the start of Level 2. And now he's out, his return trip to the WSOP cut short after just over three hours of play. Or 21 in dog hours.
We didn't catch what happened but according to his twitter, Nick Maimone who was nursing a short stack for most of the day is out when his lost to an opponent's . Looks like there won't be another deep run for the 15th place finisher in the '09 Main Event.

More exciting action from our featured table. Robert Kay raised to 600 from middle position and Camton Michaels, who was next to act, was the only player to call. The flop came and Kay check-called a bet of 1,250 from Michaels. After the fell on the turn Kay checked again and Michaels tossed out a bet of 6,000. Kay then announced he was all in and Michaels quickly called putting himself at risk.

Kay frowned as he saw Michael's hand and the on the river left Michaels' aces in the lead securing his double-up to around 45,000.
Shortly after this hand, the featured table was swapped and while Doyle Brunson stayed, the rest of the players have now switched out and we have a table full of fresh new faces to watch here in "the mothership."
A player in early position opened for 550 and Greg Raymer re-raised to 1,400 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to the original raiser, who called.
The flop came and the early position player check-called a 1,600 bet from Raymer. Both players checked the turn. However, on the river, Raymer's opponent checked, prompting a 3,800 bet from Raymer. His opponent fell hard into the tank, but eventually mustered a call.
"You're probably good," said Raymer. His opponent was hesitant and said, "I don't have a really good hand."
Raymer flipped over and his opponent showed , which was good enough to ship him the pot.
"Sorry for the slowroll," Raymer's opponent said.
Raymer is down to 33,000.
Bob Woolley opened with a raise to 600 from early position, then the player to Woolley's left reraised to 1,600. Tom Schneider was next to act, and he reshoved over the top with his last 6,400. It folded back around to Woolley who reraised again all in, and the player in between him and Schneider let his hand go.
Woolley and Schneider then tabled their cards, showing that Schneider's hard luck couple of levels had continued. Schneider had , but Woolley . "Wow, and same suits, too," commented Greg Raymer.
The board came , and Schneider was eliminated on the last hand of Level 2. He and Woolley shook hands, and the Donkey Bomber departed. Meanwhile Woolley bounces back to 23,175.
"Didn't have the heart to tell him I'd folded ," said Raymer afterwards. Meanwhile the third player who'd folded to Woolley's shove said he'd folded pocket jacks.
That's two levels down. Players are now taking their second 20-minute break of the day. Dinner break to come after the end of Level 3.
