The Century Mark

[user66118]

The two men have just ticked over the 100-hand mark in this heads-up battle.

That last chip count may have even been a bit generous for Stokes. It's tough to get close enough to the table to count chips right now, but it looks like Stokes is much closer to 500,000. That gives Chan a big lead with around 1,460,000.

Mic'd Up

[user66118]

The players' microphones are acting up on set. Apparently, this match has gone on a little longer than the broadcast crew expected, and both players need a battery change in the near future.

Wolpert vs. Woolf: Dustin Never Wins

[user66118]

Dustin Woolf raised to 35,000 from the button. Leo Wolpert grabbed a big stack of covering chips and slid a tower of pink ones into the middle of the table. Woolf didn't look too happy about it, but he called off his last ~300,000 chips to put himself at risk.

Showdown
Woolf: {6-Diamonds}

Wolpert:

Woolf was disgusted with the bad news, walking away from the table and off the set entirely. The news would get better though. The flop came down {6-Spades}

, and the floorman had to tell Dustin that he had found one of the two remaining sixes. Woolf made his way back to the table just in time to see the dangerous {8-Diamonds}

hit the turn, giving Wolpert a straight draw on both ends.

Sure enough, the {4-Clubs}

spiked the river to give Wolpert the re-suckout straight and eliminate Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf.

Woolf put up an admirable fight here against Wolpert, having the short stack for the duration of the battle. In the end, he would fall though, and Leo Wolpert is headed on to the Final Four.
