Shannon Elizabeth Gets Knocked Out Of WSOP Too Early
Day 2 at the World Series of Poker Championship was another eventfull one as Brad Garret humorously joked with Doyle Brunson then got kicked out by his grandson.
THE BIG NEWS: Phil Hellmuth Jr., who owns a record 10 World Series bracelets and is widely considered the best poker player in the world, was eliminated after about six hours of action. His pocket sevens lost to an ace-queen.
THE STUDS OF THE DAY: Poker pros Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Phil Ivey and Howard Lederer had all more than doubled their chip stacks and were almost guaranteed to make it through to the next round. Doyle Brunson, honored for being in his 30th WSOP, had lost about half his 10,000 chips.
BUSTED OUT: Hellmuth, Gavin Smith, Tiffany Williamson, Paul Darden.
CELEBRITY UPDATE: Model and actress Shannon Elizabeth was eliminated, to the dismay of many, as was comedian Brad Garrett and porn star Ron Jeremy. Golf pro Paul Azinger was holding steady at about 15,000 chips heading into the dinner break.
UP NEXT: On Sunday, more of the same. The third field of more than 2,000 players will play down to 900 players or fewer. Included in Sunday's field are 2004 champion Greg Raymer and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. On Monday, the fourth field will play, completing the first round.
HE SAID WHAT?: "Doyle, can you turn your oxygen machine down?" -Comedian Brad Garrett, yelling in the direction of Doyle Brunson when a fire alarm went off in the casino. It was a false alarm. A bit later, Brunson's grandson, Jeff Veach, eliminated Garrett.
