Alex Phahurat has busted out of the tournament for the third time on Day 1A. Registration is now closed so he will have to come back to fire a fifth bullet tomorrow if he chooses.
The player in middle position limped and the player in the hijack did the same. AP Phahurat, down to his last 17,000 and the re-entry period over, raised all-in. Middle position and the hijack both released and Phahurat took down a small pot.
Both A.P. Phahurat and Chance Kornuth are sitting at the same table and both players are into this tournament for six bullets.
Phahurat is sitting with 12,000, but Kornuth has ten times that amount with 120,000. Phahurat was in good spirits, however, noting that he still had 30 minutes to re-enter and take the title for most entries in this tournament.

A.P. Phahurat has been eliminated by 2006 WSOP main event final tablist Richard Lee.
Phahurat got all of his chips in the middle with 10 7 on a Q-9-6-5 board with two spades. Lee held pocket kings and they held when an offsuit 10 hit the river.
