Event 5 is in the money with the elimination of Alex Oliveira

As expected, Alex Oliveira was the “bubble boy” after his final hand was killed with his last 1K ante chip in the middle. There was a tiny sweat as another table had an all-in but it wasn’t called.

The 108 remaining players are in the money and the action will continue to fly.

Alex Oliveira’s dwindling stack

Event 5 players are on their first break of the day just as they reached the money bubble. There are 109 players remaining with 108 getting paid and Alex Oliveira nowhere to be found.

He was set to return to a 63,500 stack but never showed up. Oliveira’s stack is down to a single 1K ante chip when they return to play hand-for-hand.

There has been a mass exodus out of the tournament at the start of play. Less than 45 minutes into the restart, more than 40 players have been shown the door including former top ten player Asher Conniff.

It was a quick exit and when asked what happened, Conniff responded simply with “That’s poker.” His chips were equally distributed among his tablemates with Shaundra Seay getting the last of them.

Tournament staff read off the rules of the day and instructed the dealers to let the cards fly.

Ricardo Eyzaguirre has the biggest stack at the start and took his time getting to the ballroom. Walking around chips.

We’re already hearing calls of “seat open” and it looks like they might make the money before the first break.

Players are taking their seats in the ballroom for the restart of Event 5 with 186 remaining with a chance at the title.

Ricardo Eyzaguirre bagged an early lead and held it to return as the chip leader. WPT World Champion Asher Conniff sits in the top ten as well as SHRP regular Gregg Fund.

They restart in Level 15 with blinds at 1,500/3,000 and a 500 ante. The average is 99,000 (33 big blinds) and we should move along at a brisk pace, the money bubble will be close when they hit the first break around 2:30.

Chips are being unbagged and we’ll be back underway shortly.

Top ten returning stacks:

Ricardo Eyzaguirre – 330,000 (110 bb)
Bruce Snell – 292,500 (98 bb)
