Stars Falling

The players designated as Shooting Stars each have a $5k bounty on their head, and a fair amount of those bounties have been collected so far today. Phil Hellmuth, Lee Watkinson, John Juanda, Andy Bloch, Jerry Yang, Erik Seidel and David Singer are just a few of the official bounties already out of the competition, with others like Hoyt Corkins barely hanging on.
Tyler “Brainwash” Cornell started the day at table 26 seat 2, had Jonathan “FieryJustice” Little moved to his left before Tyler was moved to another table. Now (pictured left) Cornell has been moved back to table 26 and now is the one with position on Little, being on his immediate left. Chip leader Faraz “The-toilet” Jaka is also at the table and still the far and away chip leader in the room as his 100k+ stack continues to grow steadily.
Tim “Tmay420″ West was able to get his after dinner portion of the tournament off on solid footing by eliminating Allen Kessler and adding the last of Kessler’s chips to his stack. On an A-K-J flop Kessler had flopped two pair with his AJ, but had run into the flopped straight of West with QT.
