Both Josh Arieh and Roy Rose were very short entering the hand, and it was quickly capped four ways with Christopher George and Shannon Shorr coming along for the ride. Rose was all in at this point, and on fourth street Arieh joined him when the three remaining players got one bet in. On sixth street, Shorr got the rest of his chips in as well, and after seventh the hands looked like this:

George scooped the entire pot with kings and deuces, eliminating his three opponents and chipping up to 38,000.
Hopefully all of our readers are enjoying PokerNews' coverage of the 2011 World Series of Poker. We're proud to be the official live reporting team again this year and it wouldn't be without all of your support. We'd just like to remind everyone that with such massive field sizes in many of these events, we're unable to track every single player in the chips counts as often as we'd like to.
Things on the tournament floor are constantly changing from hand to hand and we know you want every single piece of information you can handle. Many pros in all of these events update their Twitter account on the regular, so you might want to check out the PokerNews Twitter page to see what the players themselves are saying about their progress in the events.
Jerry Buss was able to get his money in heads up against his opponent. Down to his final 3,000 chips at the start of the hand, his pair of Queens were ahead of the pair of eights of his opponent. Buss was ahead until the river when the other player made Aces up. Buss, without a draw or an Ace, needed one of the two live Queens. He bricked and gracefully shook his opponents hand.
Tom Dwan entered the day with a solid stack of 22,300, but we just saw him getting up and leaving his table, with no chips in front of him, meaning he has been eliminated.
Eric Buchman, who was part of the 2009 November Nine, has just been given a one round penalty. We came to the table amidst the controversy, but from what we can gather, Buchman was called on seventh street, and simply stated "you win" and tried to muck his hand. Bryan Devonshire asked that the hand be turned over, but Buchman tossed his cards into the middle of the muck, making them irretrievable. Buchman must now sit out eight hands, equal to 1,600 in antes with possible bring ins.

David Tighe - (x) (x) / / (x)
Tighe brought in, Gaspard completed, and Tighe came along for the ride. Gaspard led out on fourth, and Tighe called. On fifth, Gaspard led out again, but this time Tighe raised. Gaspard called. Gaspard slowed down on sixth, check-calling a bet, but on the river the two capped it and Gaspard was all in.
Gaspard showed [ks kd x] for trip kings, but they were no good against Tighe's for a full house.
Wice completed and was only called by one player; Bowes. Wice led out on fourth, Bowes raised, and Wice called. Wice slowed down on fifth and sixth, opting to check-call two bets, and on seventh he checked again. This time Bowes checked behind, and Wise unhappily opened for a straight.
We're unsure if Wice checked blind or not, but unfortunately for him his check-raise failed. He still shipped the pot however, and is up to 27,000 chips.
