Beth Shak Busto

Livello 5 : 150/300, 0 ante
Beth Shak - eliminated
Beth Shak - eliminated

We weren't able to catch the details of her bust-out, but considering she's just flown by media row in a hurry with her bag on her shoulder, it's safe to say that Beth Shak has just been eliminated from this event.

We did notice however that Shak was still listening to her iPod on the way out, so we're taking a stab as to what tune she was listening to.

"Que sera, sera ... whatever will be, will be ..."

LuckyChewy Busted By Clements

Andrew Lichtenberger bet 2250 from early position on the turn when the board read {6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Scott Clements, in late position re-raised the pot and Lichtenberger called to go on.

Lichtenberger: {j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Clements: {q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Clements was ahead with a broadway straight, but as Lichtenberger said, "I have alot of outs... (Any club for a flush, any {10-}{q-} or {6-} for a full house, and the case {k-} for quads) and that's not one of them" as the {7-Diamonds} hit the river.

Lichtenberger hit the rail and Clements is now up around 25,000

Farha Eliminated

Sam Farha
Sam Farha

On a flop of {3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, the player in the big blind bet 1,300 and received a call from a middle-position opponent. Sammy Farha then moved all in from the button for 4,125, which both his opponents called.

"I don't know why, I'm feeling lucky," Farha said. Both active players checked the {6-Hearts} turn and {10-Diamonds} flop, prompting Farha to show pocket sixes for a set ,which beat the middle-position player's {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}; however, it was no good against the {A-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades} wheel of the big blind.

Farha has been eliminated from the tournament.

Where's the Ace on the River?

Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

A player in the cutoff raised to 450 and received a call from the player on the button. Barry Greenstein then reraise to 4,000 from the small blind, which was called by just the cutoff. When the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Greenstein bet 6,000, the cutoff called, and the {8-Clubs} was put out on the turn.

Greenstein grabbed his entire stack of around 14,000 and pushed it in the pot. The cutoff quickly called off his stack of 11,050 and the cards were turned up.

Greenstein: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Cutoff: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Greenstein's aces were ahead, but that changed when the {Q-Spades} spiked on the river to give the cutoff a straight. Greenstein was left with around 2,600 after the hand.

Juanda Takes Chip Lead In 10 Minutes

John Juanda
John Juanda

When we came back from the break, we noticed that one of the tables full of late registrants had Bill Chen, Jason Koon, Steven Kelly, Christian Harder, John Juanda, and Justin Schwartz. Now we expected action at this table but we weren't quite expecting this. Schwartz opened for 850 under the gun, and Chen and Koon called. On the button, Kelly bet pot, which equaled 5,400. Harder folded, then Juanda, Schwartz, Chen, and Koon all called. Still with us?

The flop came out {q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and Kelly open shoved for 10,000. Juanda tanked for about 2 minutes, deliberating outloud while the rest of his table laughed at the entertainment. Eventually, he shoved the rest of his stack in, and Schwartz, who was next to act, virtually beat him into the pot! Chen and Koon folded, and the three revealed their hands.

Juanda: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Schwartz: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Kelly: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Kelly had flopped bottom set with a pair of aces as well. Juanda had the king high flush draw, and two pairs to draw to a bigger set, and Schwartz had top pair with a queen high flush draw that was useless thanks to Juanda's hand. The turn brought the {4-Diamonds}, nullifying any flush outs. When Juanda saw the turn, he said "Well I still have my fives." Sure enough, the {5-Clubs} hit the river, and Juanda scooped the entire pot, and with that, he has taken the chip lead.

Devilfish Won't Play Bingo

Livello 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

David "Devilfish" Ulliott late registered for this event and recently took his seat over at Table 40. We happened to be wandering by when as a player put in a post-flop bet. After Devilfish folded, we heard him say to his young opponent, "If you're playing bingo, I'm not gonna play with you. Take the skill out of it."

"That's what makes it fun," another player at the table.

"That's what makes it bingo," the Devilfish retorted without missing a beat. B-I-N-G-O and Devilfish was his name-O!

Cada Crunched

Reigning WSOP Main Event champion Joe Cada has just taken a massive hit to his stack and is now down to 14,000 in one of the early hands after the break.

After the hijack, cutoff and small blind limped in before the flop, Cada raised the pot from the big blind, making it another 1,200 to go. All the others called, so it was four-handed to the flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

The small blind checked to Cada, who led out for 3,000, forcing the hijack and the cutoff out of the way before the small-blind check-raised all-in. Cada snap-called.

Small Blind: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Cada: {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Even though Cada improved to two pair after the dealer produced the turn and river of {7-Clubs}, {J-Hearts}, he failed to improve against the small blind's flopped straight and was resigned to cut out the double-up chips from his stack.

Kornuth vs. Madel Round II

Just before the level up, Scott Mandel bet 8,850 into a large pot with a board reading {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. Chance Kornuth then moved all in for 12,225 total and Mandel made the call.

Kornuth: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Mandel: {8-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Both players had held a straight, but Kornuth's was higher. However, Mandel had a flush draw and was no doubt seeking revenge from last year when Kornuth eliminated him in fifth place. Unfortunately for Madel, revenge would have to wait as the river blanked and Kornuth doubled to 25,000.

"I was down to 3,200 not too long ago," Kornuth explained to a friend on the rail.
