Eric Baldwin Eliminated
Nov 14, '10
The bustouts just keep on coming. We’ve managed to lost 17 players in a 25-minute span. We’re still working on getting a list of those players, but the line at the payout desk is too long to infiltrate.
We do know that Eric Baldwin is out after shoving K-Q on a flop of J-10-x against Joe Melancon’s set of tens. The tens held and Baldwin is out.

Nov 15, '10
On a flop of K
K
2, Joseph Melancon checked and Phil Laak bet 20,000.
Melancon then raised to 200,000, putting Laak all in for his last 190,000 or so. Laak called, showing 99 and he was temporarily ahead of Melancon’s J8 for a flush draw.
The turn and river fell 47, however, and Laak was eliminated. Melancon is now up to 600,000 in chips.
