Table 287 is awesome, for lack of a better adjective or a thesaurus. Mike Matusow and Phil Hellmuth are sitting together, and they're joined by David Williams, Jason Mercier, Nikolay Evdakov, ElkY, and Jen Harman. Talk about a melting pot.
We're really not even sure how to begin reporting the table chatter. For now, we'll note that the lovely Jen Harman is sandwiched in between Matusow and Hellmuth, and she's taken to a vigorous massage to help keep her sane over there. Mercier also made a wheel against Hellmuth in a pretty big pot, and the lecture that followed is still keeping Matusow entertained about fifteen minutes later.
Jeffrey Lisandro got his last 10,000 chips into the middle three-bet shoving against Brandon Cantu. They both patted, and Lisandro's beat Cantu's jack, doubling the former up to 23,600. Cantu still has nearly twice that with 42,000 in front of him.

Giang promptly stood up and shuffled out the back door for a quick smoke.

"Nine," Baxter announced, and Juanda showed his own . Baxter flashed , and he has been eliminated.
