Smurfit Falls to Dwan
Livello 10
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
Alan Smurfit potted in late position, and a player on the button called. Tom Dwan repotted in the small blind. Not intimidated, Smurfit hit the repot button too, making it another 35,000 or so to see a flop. The third player folded, and Dwan called. The flop was 
, and Dwan was instantly all in for 68,000. Smurfit, shaking hard, called almost as fast.
Dwan: 
for top pair and a gutshot
Smurfit: 
for a pair of aces
The 
turn put Dwan in the lead with two pair, and the 
river brought no help for Smurfit. His whole body shaking, Smurfit counted out his stack and discovered that Dwan had him covered. As he made his exit, durrrr stacked up 230,000.

Lamb Comes from Behind for a Knockout
Livello 10
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
Ben Lamb opened to 4,000 from under the gun. Jose-Luis Velador called in the cutoff, and the button called as well. When action got to the big blind, he potted it, and Benba was the only caller. The big blind was pretty short and moved all in on the 
flop. Lamb called and was going to need some help to win the pot.
Lamb: 
for top pair and some runner-runner draws
Opponent:
The 
turn was a safe card for the all-in player, but the 
river gave Benba trip queens and the knockout.
"I don't even know why I was looking," joked tablemate John Kabbaj. "You're like a 10:1 favorite there. That guy should have gotten up on the flop." Lamb is up to 325,000.

Cramped Quarters
Livello 11
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
Turnout at this year's WSOP has been amazing. But that comes with some side effects. The noon event today was a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em that filled all of the available tables. Then the 4:00 pm deepstack tournament (not a bracelet event) continued its trend of attracting a massive field. So many players have shown up that the Razz event scheduled to being at 5:00 pm was pushed back an hour.
So what does that mean for the $10,000 PLO corner of the room? There remaining PLO tables are sandwiched in between Day 3 of the $5,000 Six-Max event and tables from today's $1,500. As tables break, they are filled in with more $1,500 players. It makes it seem like the PLO field isn't getting any smaller, but the board shows that players are actually falling quite quickly.
