Pros going down
July 3rd 2008 23:59
Over 1,300 on the first day. Nice. The official tally will be up soon, I think, as we are at the end of the second level (players can buy in until the end of the second level). Again it’s going to be a great accomplishment for whomever wins this, and it won’t be easy, as some of the eliminations show.
Another pro leaves as David Benyamine goes down on a tough hand, losing his AJ to pocket As when the board showed both an A and J. Benyamine had four cashes in this year’s WSOP, including a bracelet in event 37, $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo.
Freddy Deeb is out, dropping his pocket 7s to pocket Queens and a board that helped neither. Not a good day for Deeb, who never had much of a stack. Not a great WSOP for the two-time bracelet winner, who only cashed one time this year with an 80th place finish in a $1500 No Limit Hold 'Em event.
One of those things that hits you in the gut: Manny Minaya goes all in with pocket Ks. He is called by pocket As. The flop helps no one, but the turn is a K -- giving Minaya the set -- and the river is the A, giving Minaya the exit from the tournament.
At the second break some notable names out of the tournament are Eli Elezra, Allyn Jaffrey Shulman, Vanessa Selbst, James Mackey, David Pham, Dave Ulliot (Devilfish), and John Gale
But hey, Jason Alexander and Ray Romano are still alive.

Freddy Deeb didn't exactly have the best World Series of Poker in 2008, as he left the main event before the second round ended.
