Tables in the Amazon room are slowly being broken down and players are being moved to the Brasilia. A few notables down the hall who haven't been moved yet are Justin Bonomo, Erick Lindgrin, and Joe Cada.
Cada actually was getting involved in a pot when we were over there and this is what we saw. The flop read and Joe Cada bet out 1,400 from the small blind. A player in middle position made the call and the cut-off folded.
The on the turn brought checks from both players, but a river allowed for Cada to move all in for 4,550. The middle position player folded and Cada was awarded the pot.
There are a host of notable names missing from the Silver Section. Olivier Busquets, Vitaly Lunkin, John Eames, Dominik Nitsche and Gabriel Nassif are all missing and presumed bust.
In other eliminations, Kyle Weir moved his last few chips into the middle with pocket sevens and ran into pocket queens, Nicolas Yunis lost a chunk of his stack in a hand against Ivan Mamuzic. Yunis was holding versus the of Mamuzic and a cruel ace hit the flop sending Yunis down to 1,300 chips. Then Yunis put those little babies into the middle with , ran into and never saw them again.
Antonio Esfandiari is also out of Event #46 after moving all in on a monotone diamond board holding and finding himself behind to a set and a king-high flush. We don't care how many magic tricks he has, he just ain't getting out of that one! (Thanks to Paul Y for the info)
One person who did not join the elimination station was Ryan Julius. He raised to 400 on the button, the small blind three-bet to 1,100, Julius moved all-in for 2,050 more and his opponent called.
Julius
Small Blind
Board:
A full-house for Julius and he moved up to 6,450.
The top dog in the Silver Section is the Russian Andrey Gulyy who has 47,000 chips.
Liv Boeree moved all in for around 4,000 after a player in early position raised it up. The table folded around to the original raiser and he made the call.
Boeree:
Opponent:
The board came and Boeree was not able able to catch up. The pair of queens was awarded the pot and Boeree was sent on her way.
So, where will Boeree go now? Probably back to Vanessa Rousso's mansion here in Las Vegas, which is Boeree's temporary home for the summer, along with many other ladies of poker. Check it out:
Over in the gold section Maria Ho has been battling it out trying to add to her stack. On one hand we saw her get check-raised after she bet out 400 on a board. After a few moments she threw it away. A couple of hands later she called a bet by her opponent on the river and was shown an eight high flush that she couldn't trump.
Finally we saw her check-call a bet of 600 after the board read . A river brought another check from Ho, and a bet of 2,200 from her opponent. After some more contemplation Ho threw it away again. Despite this small spiral downward Ho still sits with right around 20,000.
Lars Bonding is also here in the section and we caught up to him as he was raising it up to 500 preflop. The table folded around to the big blind who made the call.
The dealer released a flop and both players checked. The on the river seemingly changed nothing and both players checked for the second time.
The on the river caused the big blind to bet, and Bonding quickly made the call. The big blind flipped over , while Bonding showed for a better ace high.
Over in the red section we found Faraz Jaka all in with the board reading . Jaka was holding and his opponent possessed for a straight. With that Jaka made his exit.
A few other players who are no longer in their seats are Eric Froehlich and Jennifer Tilly, we can only assume that they have been eliminated.
A couple of tables over we found Victoria Coren playing a hand against 3 other players with a board reading . With over 6,400 in the pot already we know there was some sort of betting preflop. Coren sat on the button and after all three players checked to her she moved all in for around 8,000. All three players folded and Coren collected the pot.
A quick skirt around the Bronze Section of the Brasilia Room reveals three notable eliminations. Chris McClung was eliminated in rather unfortunate circumstances. He managed to get it in good on a board of holding versus , but his opponent spiked an on the river to send the Canadian packing.
Chris De Maci was the recent runner-up to our first ever Japanese World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Naoya Kihara. That event was Event #34: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha - Six Handed and De Maci earned $316,308 for that close shave. He was extremely short when we last did a swoop and can confirm that he has been eliminated in the two-card version of things.
A final notable who is no longer spraying chips around is the cheeky-chappie known as Joseph Cheong. He was eliminated by Steven Karr who now has 30,000 chips - more than anyone else in the Bronze section - and it was a barnstormer of a hand.
We believe that Karr opened to 425 from early position and both Liv Boeree and Mathew Frankland called before Joseph Cheong three-bet from the button making it 1,350. The player in the small blind moved all-in for approx. 4,000, Karr also moved all-in and Boeree and Frankland (pocket tens) both folded.

Cheong
Small Blind
So a cooler for all and after five communities were hung, drawn and quartered Cheong and the small blind were out, whilst Karr moved up to 30,000.
