Title: Eric Seidel Doubles Up

Title: Daniel Negreanu eliminated
Log: Daniel Negreanu just left the tournament area after being eliminated. On the way out, he told CardPlayer.com that "he was tired (he just came off a huge win at the WSOP Circuit event at the Grand in Tunica) and never had a hand all day." However, Daniel, the huge fan favorite that he is, still stuck around to sign numerous autographs and pose for photos with his hoard of fans.

They have a rule where if you are simply counting out your chips, but even an inch in front of your cards, it's a bet. So if you looked back at your hand you may even be held to an all in bet!"

1:42 pm: "I just spoke with the TD and believe I was successfully able to convince him to abolish the rule. The problems that could have arised are numerous."

2:05 pm: "$21,100, end of level 4."

2:19 pm: "Another dumb rule: the last aggressor rule. The last person who made a bet in a checked down hand must show their hand first."

2:24 pm: "Just got rivered again. Two pair against a gutshot."

2:25 pm: "$16,350. Alan Goering hit it on me."

Title: An Odd Situation
Log: At one of the tables, a pot was raised pre-flop and there was one caller. The action got to the big blind, who then realized he had only been dealt one card. The tournament director gave him the option of playing with the one card or folding. He stated that by New Jersey law, he could not be given the top card, since there had already been action. The player decided to muck his one card. The pot was then checked down between the two remaining players.
