Jim Pechac Crippled

Jim Pechac ran trip jacks into a full house. The board read {J-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} and Pechac showed {A-?} {J-?} at the end of the hand to Michael Sohayegh after seeing Sohayegh's full house with {A-?} {6-?} {3-?} {3-?}.

Pechac was crippled to 4,000 after the hand. On the next hand, he was in the big blind and decided it was best to fold after some opponents raised and reraised each other. Pechac is now down to a single 1,000 chip.

Enciso Sends Another One Home

Allen Enciso just eliminated a short-stacked William Sheppard.

The action was folded around to Enciso, who raised to 10,000 from the small blind and was re-raised 1,000 more by Sheppard.

Enciso showed {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Sheppard turned over {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Enciso took the pot.

Brown and Rudd Get Into It

Andrew Brown is young and certainly not shy. Ralph Rudd is old enough to be Brown's father and these two have been battling back and forth as of late. It seems that Rudd has had a few too many drinks into the early morning hours and it has really livened up the action at his table.

Brown announced, "It's your big blind, so I'm going to raise" to Rudd. And then he mentioned that Rudd may have had a few too many tonight.

Rudd called the raise. The players took the flop, {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. Rudd checked, Brown bet, Rudd called.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and this time Rudd check-raised Brown. Brown thought before calling and said, "I don't know if I should call or raise. I think I'll just slow play this one... I call."

The river was the {6-Clubs} and both players checked. Brown flipped over {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} and announced he plays "the seven-five." Rudd studied the hand and then mucked after about a minute. Brown scooped the pot to the delight of his railbirds.

Allen Enciso Knocks Out Oxenburg

On a flop of {2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Allen Enciso reraised Robert Oxenburg twice to put him all in.

Enciso showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Oxenburg turned over {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and the river brought the {j-Diamonds} — no help to Oxenburg, eliminated in 21st place.

It's Oxenburg third cash in the WSOP, all have been in Omaha Hi-Lo.

Enciso increased his chip stack to 100,000.

Arieh Busted

Josh Arieh moved all his chips in drawing dead according to a member of his table. The board read {A-?} {7-?} {6-?} {7-?} {A-?}. According to the some of the players at Arieh's table, Josh held {Q-?} {J-?} {8-?} {5-?} while Lee Grove made quads with {A-?} {A-?} {5-?} {4-?} to eliminate Arieh.

Petersen Eliminated by Rudd

Kevin Petersen got all his chips in with Ralph Rudd on a flop of {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}.

Petersen turned over {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} x-x and said "Ahh, you got diamonds, too!" as Rudd turned over {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds}, for a flush draw and straight draw.

The turn came the {3-Spades} and the river the {7-Clubs} to net Rudd the entire pot and send Petersen packing.

Shamseddin the Eliminator

Soheil Shamseddin, who knocked out John Juanda, eliminated another player — Ryan Carey — after Carey was crippled by William Sheppard.

Shamseddin's {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs} bested Carey's {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} on a board of {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Carey had only 8,000 left after doubling up Sheppard, calling his all in after a flop of {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Carey had {k-Spades}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and couldn't beat Sheppard's {a-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. The {6-Spades} on the turn and {4-Hearts} on the river were no help to Carey.

Perry Takes a Pot From Poels

Ralph Perry raised from under the gun and Pat Poels called from late position. Both players took the flop {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {3-Spades}. Perry bet and Poels called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and Perry bet out again. Poels again called.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Perry bet out once more. Poels called again.

Perry showed {A-?} {A-?} {Q-?} {2-?} and Poels mucked. Poels claimed he held two kings in his hand.
