Paul Michaelis just got eliminated by Alex Fortin Demers. They were both all in before the flop, Fortin Demers holding 
and Michaelis showed 
. None of them connected the board so Fortin Demers took down the pot with a higher pair. Michaelis’s queens cost him his tournament life.
Board: 
Play continues in level 12, and the field is down to 122 runners. The chips continue to fly in this action-heavy tournament.
Here’s a look at some of the remaining players:
The players have returned to their seats following the latest break. At the end of the late registration and re-entry period for today, 299 players took a shot at Day 1A, and the 88 re-entries brought the total number of entries to 387.
At this stage in level 11, only 167 players remain in contention. The 220 bust outs show just how fast and loose the action was this afternoon.

Aaron Massey just had a wonderful spot to wake up with aces.
With the blinds at 15K/35K, William Blais moved his short stack all-in from under the gun. Blais’ neighbour, Michael O’brien re-shoved to isolate, and the action moved to Nghi van Tran, the big stack at the table, who cut out calling chips and went deep into the tank. This was a beautiful sight to Massey, who was waiting in the small blind with pockets aces. Van Tran found the fold button after a few minutes, and Massey quickly moved his 1,050,000 chip stack into the middle.

O’brien:

The three-way pre-flop all-in sent Blais to the rail, put a big dent in O’brien’s stack and let Massey more than double his chips.
The Turbo has already drawn 350 entries through the first seven levels of play.
With sit’n go’s and flip’n go’s running all afternoon, there has been a steady stream of entries since the first card was pitched. There remains nearly 90 minutes of late registration and re-entries to go, we expect many more to get in on the action.
Here’s a look at the field so far:
Action is getting wild in the Turbo this afternoon. Two players, Alexander Lynskey (utg) and Rubens Tarzia (utg+1), just decided to go all-in blind to spice up things a little. Everybody else folded and when came time to open cards, guess what… they both had the same hand in different suits.
Lynskey: 
Tarzia: 
Board: 
To make things even more interesting, the river gave Tarzia a flush!
