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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
The Gold Section of the Brasilia room has just lost three very talented players, who each have World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold on their resume's.
James Dempsey has won over $1.9 million in live tournament earnings that includes a WSOP bracelet and World Poker Tour (WPT) title. But none of that means anything if you get it in with a flopped set of fives versus pocket queens, only to see a queen hit the turn.
Moving up the pay scale and we have Andy Frankenberger. The former Derivatives Trader has only been in poker a short while, but that hasn't stopped him amassing a personal fortune of $2,529,472 in live tournament winnings. Cluttered amongst all that money are two WSOP bracelets and a WPT title. Frankenberger got all of his chips into the middle in a 70BB pot against Kyle Bowker (suited) versus (suited) and Bowker came out on top.
Next you have David Williams. Williams has earned over $8,329,268 including a WSOP bracelet and WPT title spanning an 8-year career that sparked when he finished as the runner up to Greg Raymer in the 2004 WSOP Main Event. Williams raised with from the cutoff, the small blind shipped with and Williams called. A jack appeared on the flop and for a moment it looked the suckout was on, until the queen found its way to the board on the river to even up the score.
So Dempsey, Frankenberger and Williams are all out, and they are joined by Pratyush Buddiga and Heinz Kamutzki.
The top dog in the backyard called the Gold section is still Ryan D'Angelo with 45,000 chips.
Event 33: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em winner Max Steinberg is no longer in his seat, so we have to assume he has been eliminated. Victoria Coren joins him on the rail as her seat was empty as well.
We found ourselves at Randy Lew's table with a flop reading . Lew's opponent bet out 1,600 and Lew raised it to 2,700. Lew's opponent took his time, draining the clock of a minute or so before making a raise of about 5,000. The short stacked Lew quickly threw in his remaining 4,500 and cards were tabled.
Lew:
Opponent:
Only an ace would send Lew home. The on the river further secured the hand in Lew's favor, and the on the river guaranteed it.
