Event 16 (Day 2): Updates..."Lightning Round" Style

Event 16 ($150 No Limit Hold'em Re-Entry)
$100,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
Level 29 (Blinds 50,000/100,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 1,021
Players Remaining: 21

- Only a few hands back from break, Brian Hastings would shove from late position for 800,000, with Calixto Rodriguez calling out of the big blind.  Calixto's A J♠ would best Hastings Q♠ 7♠ on a runout of A7 9♠ 8 10♣.  Brian would be eliminated in 23rd place ($587).

- Moments after the elimination of Hastings, Robert Perniola would be all-in and at risk against Will "O," with Perniola holding A♠ Q against A♣ K.  The K♠ K 7 J♣ K♠ would give Will quads, and eliminate Perniola in 22nd place ($587).

- The pot of the tournament occurred just moments ago between Jeff Burdeen and Rami Ezra.  The two would get the chips in pre-flop, for a pot worth close to 4,000,000.  It was the A♠ A♣ of Burdeen leading Ezra's Q Q♠, but the J♣ 7♣ Q♣ 10♣ J♠ runout would bring a lot of drama.  Ezra took the lead with a set on the fop, Burdeen would grab the lead back after turning a flush, and Ezra ended up winning the hand after the board paired on the river (giving him a full house).  Ezra is up to 3,900,000, while Burdeen gets cut down to 300,000.
