Tournament Loses Three Stars

Matthew Pitt

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The waters of Event #49 are a little less shark infested thanks to the recent bust outs of three big names.

Andrey Pateychuk, double WSOP bracelet winner James Dempsey and the ever-dangerous Joseph Cheong have each lost their chips and have exited the Brasilia Room. While their exits are bad news for the neutrals at home, they spell great news to the players still in the tournament because it means there are less established pros standing between them and the $546,080 first place prize.
