According to Nick Palma and Michael Clemente, Clemente was recently eliminated from play after getting his aces cracked.
"This was the sickest hand of the day," Palma said, "He should be chip leader," Palma says pointing to Clemente.
Apparently Jason Pardy opened to 3,500 in early middle position, another player shoved all in from later position for 23,000, and with action on Clemente, he shoved all in for his 115,000 stack on the button. It folded back to Pardy who called, having both players covered.
Clemente: A-A
Late Position Player: 10-10
Pardy: A-K
The flop came K-K-10, and Clemente was unable to improve on the turn and river. Clemente was eliminated from play, the player in late position tripled up, and Pardy was awarded the side pot.

According to Nick Palma and Michael Clemente, Clemente was recently eliminated from play after getting his aces cracked.
"This was the sickest hand of the day," Palma said, "He should be chip leader," Palma says pointing to Clemente.
Apparently Jason Pardy opened to 3,500 in early middle position, another player shoved all in from later position for 23,000, and with action on Clemente, he shoved all in for his 115,000 stack on the button. It folded back to Pardy who called, having both players covered.
Clemente: A-A
Late Position Player: 10-10
Pardy: A-K
The flop came K-K-10, and Clemente was unable to improve on the turn and river. Clemente was eliminated from play, the player in late position tripled up, and Pardy was awarded the side pot.
Jason Pardy - 285,000
Michael Clemente - Eliminated

Main Event, Flight A - Play Concludes, 30 Players Advance, David Grandieri Leads
At the conclusion of 12 levels of play, and 87 total entries, 30 players are advancing to Day 2 from Flight A of the $1,650 Main Event.
David Grandieri ended the evening as the Flight A chip leader, with 243,500. Grandieri was the only player to cross over the 200k chip mark. He held a strong lead on the field for a large part of the day, and then really pushed ahead of the pack in the last level when he flopped a flush to send one of his opponents home. He brushed the 300k chip mark at the end of the last level, but then doubled another player up and lost 60,000 in one of the very last hands of the night. His 243,500 chip stack is still far ahead of the second and third place stacks belonging to Konstantinos Mitsopoulos (171,200), and later registrant Johanssy Joseph (165,000). Joseph bought in just after the second break and consistently ran up his stack through the last six levels of play.
The 30 players listed below all earned a night off, and are able to rest up before the start of Day 2 tomorrow (Friday May 12th) at noon Eastern time. Any player that did not make it through in the first flight has a second chance in Flight B, currently running on the other side of the tournament room. Flight B registration is open until approx. 11:30pm.

There are four players to see the A♥Q♥5♥ flop. Michael Clemente checks in the small blind, a player in middle position shoves all in for 24,200, Philip Chin calls the 24,200 in middle position, and David Grandieri moves forward a stack totaling around 100,000, essentially putting all other players all in. Clemente pauses for over a full minute, then releases his cards, and Chin also mucks.
"Is this even real life?" Grandieri says aloud.
"Did you have the king of hearts?" a player asks Clemente about his tank.
"No, I honestly forgot I had cards, was just thinking about the last hand," Clemente responded seriously, causing a few players at the table to giggle.
"Do you have ace queen?" the player that is all in, asks Grandieri.
"No, I have a flush," Grandieri responds as he turns over 10♥7♥. The player then turns over A♣ J♦ for a pair of aces.
The 6♣ turn leaves the player drawing dead, and the 4♠ river is inconsequential.
After the hand concludes, and the player has walked away, a few players at the table continue to discuss and giggle about the various odd moments that occurred during the hand.

Yanchek places his hands on his forehead, leans over the table, and after a minute passes by, hesitantly releases his cards into the muck.
Taylor shows A♠Q♦, and the button shows 7♣6♣. Yanchek is visibly frustrated, saying, "Ah man."
The board runs out 10♥5♥4♠A♣J♣ awarding Taylor the pot and eliminating his opponent from play.

Hand #1:
There is around 25,000 in the middle, and two players looking at the 8♠7♣2♣3♥10♦ board. The player in the cutoff shoves all in for around 11,500, and Solomon Yi goes into the tank.
Nearly two minutes pass before Yi tosses in a chip to call. The cutoff shows K♣6♣ for a broken flush draw, and Yi turns over J♥J♦ for a pair of jacks to win the hand, and eliminate his opponent from play.
Solomon Yi - 60,000
Hand #2:
While Yi was busy scooping a pot, at the neighboring table, Mike Azzaro also sent an opponent home. The player stood up, slammed the table, and quickly walked away from the table.
The board read J♥6♣6♦K♥8♥, and Azzaro had 8♠6♠ sitting in front of him, good for a full house.
The chatter at the table filled in the rest of the story. Apparently, Azzaro's opponent held X♥6♥, having also flopped trip sixes, and rivering the flush. But Azzaro hit the miracle card on the river to give him a full house to eliminate his opponent from play.

The turn is the 9♥. Chin bets 1,150, and Clemente shoves all in. Pidvysotski folds, and Chin asks for a count. Upon hearing the 3,000 total, Chin calls.
Clemente: K♣K♥ (overpair to the board)
Chin: 6♦3♦ (two pair)
Unfortunately for Clemente the 7♦ river does not improve his hand, and he is eliminated from play.

"Where was the raise preflop?" a player at the table asks.
"I didn't want to raise, I only had 4k to start the hand," Clemente responded.
