We didn't catch the hand as the dealer was too quick swiping the cards, but we do know that Stephen Hesse just chipped up to 200,000 after taking down a huge pot and eliminating Jeffrey King.
So said Steven Loube after improbably coming back to win a hand and knock out Darin Thomas.
Thomas had already left with his ticket to the cashier's desk, while Loube and the others explained how with the board showing , all of Thomas's stack had gone in with (ten-high straight) against Loube's (a pair of aces).
That's when the and came on the turn and river, giving Loube a full house and sending Thomas to the rail. "That's how I'm running," said Loube, who shoots up over 215,000 on that one.
After being moved to a new table, Warren Oberman got all in preflop holding double suited and was at risk against the of Steven Loube.
The rainbow flop kept Loube in the lead with aces, but Oberman still had outs to both the low and high. Unfortunately for him, neither the turn nor river would deliver salvation and he was eliminated in 67th place, good for $3,697.
We've just had a rush of eliminations, including Andrey Zaichenko (68th), Tony Cousineau (70th), and Allen "The Chainsaw" Kessler (71st). Kessler does the reporting — with picture — of his elimination at the hands of Steven Loube via Twitter:
