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.

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.
After a completion and a call, Ylon Swartz raised, and Hieu Ngoc Ma was the only player who came along. Ma bet out on fourth and fifth street, getting called both times by Schwartz. Schwartz then bet out on sixth and seventh street, and Ma thought for at least a minute before calling on seventh. Schwartz revelaed in the hole for trip fours, the cards that he got on fifth, sixth, and seventh street, and Ma slammed the table as he showed for kings up and a losing hand. Schwartz is up to 63,000, and Ma has been knocked down to just 3,700.
Scott Seiver brought in and an opponent with the completed. Jim "The Mailman" Paluszek and Seiver both called. On fourth street, Paluszek took the lead and bet, only to find a raise from Seiver which isolated the action once Paluszek called.
On fifth street, Paluszek allowed Seiver to take the role of aggressor and check-called his bet. On sixth street, however, Seiver slowed down and both players saw seventh street for free. "The Mailman", as his friends call him, took control again with a bet which forced a fold from Seiver.
Paluszek made a flush on the very next hand and is nearing the 30,000 mark.
Shaun Deeb is continuing his hot streak in this tournament, as he has just knocked out John D'Agostino. We caught the action on fourth street, where Deeb led out with his pair of sixes. D'Agostino made a double raise with the pair on board, and Deeb called. Deeb then quickly check called on fifth and sixth street, before betting out on seventh to put Dags all in. Dags thought for a bit and called, and Deeb reveled for jacks and sixes. Dags mucked, and Deeb took down the pot to get up to 70,000, the chip lead by our estimation.
Andre Boyer started with the showing, Shaun Deeb with the , and they capped before fourth street was dealt. Boyer got the , Deeb the , and Boyer got the rest of his chips in the middle.

Deeb did not improve with the on fifth or the on sixth, while Boyer was dealt the and the to take the lead with a pair of aces. Deeb sweated his down card on seventh before quickly mucking, and we failed to catch Boyer's seventh card before he mucked.
