Chad Holloway

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We noticed that at-large qualifier Michael Jukich was no longer in his seat and a quick check with the other players at the table revealed that he had been eliminated in a set-over-set hand.

The flop saw Wong lead out for 650, Jukich flat and Bjerno raise it to 1,750. Wong thought for awhile before releasing her , and then Jukich woke up with a check-raise. Bjerno four-bet, Jukich called and the dealer burned and turned the . Jukich checked, Bjerno bet 6,000 and Jukich check-raised all in for around 15,000.

Bjerno called with , which was ahead of Jukich's P6x}. The river was a blank and Jukich was sent to the rail while Bjerno chipped up to 60,000.

"I Have No Chips"

Chad Holloway

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

That's what at-large qualifier Ting Ho told us as we walked by her table. That wasn't entirely true as she still had around 7,300.

As we watched, Pedro Rios opened for 525 from middle position and then called when Ho, the girlfriend of Rex Clinkscales, three-bet to 1,525 from the small blind. The two then checked it down as the board ran out .

"Jacks," Ho said before flipping over the . It was good as Rios sent his cards to the muck. She might not have a lot, but Ho certainly has some chips.
