Binger With a Massive Double Up
Livello 17
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
We caught Bjorn Verbakel shipping over the all in chips of Nick Binger's 151,500-chip stack with the board reading 
. Binger's hand was still face up and he held 
for a full house. As he raked in the chips, Binger asked the dealer, "What was the hand that called me?"
Apparently Verbakel had 
with two clubs. Either way, he is left with just 60,000 as we near the bubble.
Latimer Lasts No Longer
Livello 17
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Fabrizio Gonzalez made it 10,000 under the gun, and Adam Latimer came back with a raise all in to 31,000. Action folded back around to Gonzalez, who made the call.
Gonzalez: 
Latimer: 
The flop came 
, giving Latimer an open ended straight draw and a low draw. The turn helped neither player, coming the 
, and the river missed Latimer, coming the 
. Gonzalez scooped the pot with his 7-low and his pair of aces. Latimer was eliminated, bringing us one closer to the money.
Anders The Giant
We caught up with the action heads up on a 
flop and around 35,000 already in the pot. It looked as though David Paredes bet and then Anders Taylor raised the pot. Paredes re-potted and whatever exactly happened eventually led to Paredes being all in and at risk.
Taylor: 
Paredes: 
Taylor had top pair and the king-high flush draw against the middle set of queens of Paredes. The on the turn gave Taylor a low draw and the on the river completed that low plus gave him his flush to scoop the pot and eliminate Paredes. And just like that we have a new chip leader in Anders Taylor.

More Card Issues
Livello 17
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Earlier this World Series, there was an issue with the official 2011 WSOP playing cards. There were small markings printed on the back of certain cards. It became a problem to the point that they had new cards printed and often used old decks that did not have the misprint before the new decks arrived.
Today we have had another problem with marked cards. Bryce Yockey, Dan Heimiller and company continued to pull out cards that were alleged to be indented with a nail or prick mark. After having already removed a number of cards, many if not all of which were Aces according to the players at the table, one such competitor yelled to Yockey as the cards were being dealt, "I bet that's an Ace". Yockey held onto the card until the end of the hand and showed it to the table. Sure enough it was the Ace of hearts.
Recently, another marked Ace was plucked from Nick Binger and Allen Kessler's table. Binger, who was at the original table, appears to be unhappy with what's going on. During the break, Kessler was interviewed by Sarah Grant and mentioned that he had a similar problem yesterday but with random cards, not just Aces.
We will continue to monitor if cards are pulled out from tables and which specific cards are replaced.

Another Break
Livello 15
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
It's that time again for yet another 20-minute break.
Good Call with Quads on Board
Brandon Paster raised to 10,500 in middle position and Kiril Rabtsov called as the next to act. Raymond Dehkarghani also joined the party from the small blind and all three players checked the 
flop. Dehkarghani check-called a bet of 12,000 from Paster when the hit the turn with Rabtsov having folded in between them.
The river was the 
and Dehkarghani checked again. Paster laid out a bet of 35,000 and Dehkarghani went into the tank. After several minutes of thought and cutting out chips, he eventually made the call and Paster said, “Good call” as he turned over 
for trip sevens with an ace-eight kicker. Dehkarghani revealed 
for trips with a better ace-king kicker and was rewarded with the pot for his good call.
