Joseph Gualtieri has just eliminated Erick Lindgren, but it took two bites of the cherry to finish him off.
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet holder was all-in for around 4,400 and he had his opponent, Gualtieri, covered by a mere 150 chips.
Gualtieri
Lindgren
Board:
Lindgren was left with 150 chips and Gualtieri had a little over 10,000. In the next hand Lindgren placed his 50 ante in the middle and mucked. Then he placed his 50 ante in the middle and was all-in for the other 50. Toby Lewis opened to 800 in first position, but he was forced to fold after Gualtieri raised to 2,400. Gualtieri showed , Lindgren showed , and despite a scare on the flop, Lindgren was out when the bricked for him on the turn and river.
World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Craig McCorkell has just taken his seat after dinner and doubled up in his first hand. He found and got it in good against the of the German Michael Eiler. The board ran out and McCorkell moved up to 15,000.
It's one hell of a table for McCorkell as well, check this out.
The flop read and Vanessa Selbst bet out. Her opponent on the button then raised, and Selbst three-bet all in. The shorter stacked button player made the call and was at risk.
Selbst:
Opponent:
Selbst was ahead for now, but any ace or any heart would change that. The on the turn was the perfect card for Selbst. Now all the button could hit would be a non-nine heart.
The on the river allowed for Selbst to breathe easy as she was awarded the pot.
A short stacked Christina Lindley moved all in from the cut off for 4,650 and found a caller in the small blind player. The big blind folded and the players flipped over their cards.
Lindley:
Opponent:
The board came and Lindley's queen high came up second best. Ace high was good enough to send Lindley packing and she said her good byes and left.
A few tables over JJ Liu's day ended. We don't know what happened, but we know her chips were pushed over to another player.
A few tables over from that sat Dennis Phillips who faced a bet 1,100. Phillips opted to three-bet all in and pushed the rest of his 9,000 stack in the middle. A call was made and Phillips was at risk.
Phillips:
Opponent:
The board came eliminating Phillips. The ever kind Phillips wish everyone good luck and made his gracious exit.
The biggest score that Jimmy Born has ever recorded was his $14,099 earned in a World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) event held in Atlantic City back in December. He finished in 11th place in that tournament and he is currently leading the big boys - and not so big girls - in the Gold Section of the Brasilia Room with 68,000 chips.
Not far behind Born is the World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Shankar Pillai. Pillai took down the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event back in 2007 for $527,829. To win that bracelet Pillai had to best a final table including the one and only Phil Hellmuth. Pillai is sat on 65,000 chips.
Bryan Devonshire only wishes that he had 65,000 chips! The former poker dealer has just been reduced to 10,000 chips in unfortunate circumstances. Michael McNeill moved all-in for 6,475 and Devonshire called.

Devonshire
So Devonshire just needed to fade the ace, and he didn't do a very good job of it.
The current chip lead belongs to Adria Baliaguer who sits with well over 100,000. Baliaguer has already proven he can make deep runs in this year's World Series of Poker placing third in Event 19: $1,500 No-Limit Event 19: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em.
Baliaguer is no stranger to the poker scene. This Spanish pro has a WPT second place under his belt from Prague, and a 9th place EPT finish.
Marvin Rettenmaier is having the year of his life. In fact since he started recording results in 2009 he is always having the year of his life!

Here is Rettenmaier moving up to 47,000 chips with a hand we caught on a flop of . There were three players involved in the hand, the big blind, Marvin Rettenmaier (EP) and Justin Bonomo (EP) and they all checked. The turn card was the and the big blind led with a bet of 800 and both players called. Finally we saw the on fifth street, the big blind checked, Rettenmaier bet 2,725, Bonomo folded and the big blind got up out of his chair for a closer look at the board. His face moved into several different poses - none of them happy - and then he finally called. Rettenmaier turned over and he scooped the pot.
World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Craig McCorkell is no longer in his seat. We asked Aaron 'aejones' Jones to describe the fate of the young lad from the UK and this is what he said, "I cold four-bet him with kings and he had ace-king."
