Livello 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Alex Foxen was recently eliminated from the tournament.

According to the players at his table, he got the last of his chips in preflop with Ax10x against Matt Vengrin's 7x7x and failed to improve.

It is unknown whether or not this was his first or second bullet in the event and with reentries available until the end of the dinner break time will tell if he will make another appearance.

Meanwhile at another table, Hustler Casino's Wesley Fei could also be seen leaving the tournament area.
