Where Are They Now?

THE SPORTSMAN -- Is anyone else wondering what became of our early leaders, in the venue where the very first level saw a good handful top 40k? Great! Because I've had a look at their stacks...

Annie Duke, after an absolutely flying start, lost about half back and has been rather more steadily progressing to her present count of 47k.

Konstantinos Panikidis has 65,300, Feklisov has 63,000, Dean Sanders 50,000 and Huseyin Yilmaz took out the Grinder (another early leader) to build his giant 100k stack. All of these were already way over the average stack in level two -- so, an early boost -- worth a lot?

Baron Spell for Isaac

From the Empire...

Isaac Baron, who never really got going today, is now out after pushing all in for 6k with A-Q. He was quickly looked up by Mark McCluskey, the Brit's A-K holding up with ease on a raggy board.

Isaac left with a long face, Mark meanwhile was grinning like Colonel Sanders in a chicken pen.

Feature Table Update -- All In vs Pro Player

Johnny Chan drinking an "All In" energy drink earlier in the week
Johnny Chan drinking an "All In" energy drink earlier in the week
Johnny Chan has now moved around the rail and is standing directly behind Phil Hellmuth (sitting in seat one). He has been joined by Todd Brunson and Scotty Nguyen, who are all sipping champagne now, including Phil.

Johnny and Scotty are very boisterous and are asking Phil why he is not wearing an "All In energy drink" patch, a company in which Johnny Chan endorses. Phil replies, "Because I am a pro player baby!" -- in reference to his own brand of energy drink "Pro Player." Johnny replies, "But Phil, nobody has tasted Pro Player!"

Paul Wasicka has just dogged a short-stacked Scandanavian young man.

He button-raises and gets reraised by the unlucky gent, getting very good odds he calls and sheepishly turns over: {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Against {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Flop: {7-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Turn: {6-Diamonds}

River: A salt-in-the-wound {9-Spades}.

The TV crew try to get an interview with the bustee, but he understandably refuses.

Jesus Needs a Miracle

You talking to me?
You talking to me?
Chris "Jesus" Ferguson is finding it hard going at the moment, now down to 13,725 after waging war with Jennifer Harman... and losing.

On a flop of {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Harman bet 2.2k, Jesus raised to 6k, Harman pushed all in, and Jesus folded.

See guys, don't mess with girlies... I reckon husband Marco hasn't done the washing up for a while the way she's beating up these guys.

Table Talk: Gus Hansen and Thomas Wahlroos

Two of everyone's favorite Scandinavians, Gus Hansen and Thomas Wahlroos were having a spirited discussion about some online pot-limit Omaha they've played in the past.

Hansen: You know, I reaaaaalllly enjoyed beating you that big pot.

Wahlroos (to table): Top pair and a gutshot he goes all in, I have a set... and he hits the gutshot! $130,000 pot!

Hansen: I think you're exaggerating, it was like, 115.

Wahlroos: No, I remember it exactly. It was $126,000!

Hansen: See... exaggerating!

Stephen Pearce Eliminated

The Zebra has left the building.

Pearce was all in preflop with {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and ran into an opponent's {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}. When the flop came down {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, the table let out a groan.

"One more queen! Queen of spades!" shouted Pearce.

No dice for zebra boy -- only the {7-Diamonds} on the turn and the {2-Clubs} on the river and hopefully he's off to Harrods to shop for a new shirt.

Table Talk: Phil Hellmuth, Vol. II

From the floor of the Empire Casino...

INT. EMPIRE CASINO -- NIGHT

Phil Hellmuth sits at the feature TV table underneath the bright lights. He has been drinking non-stop since dinner. He spills his glass of champagne and the glass shatters on the floor. He looks at his hole cards and likes what he sees.

Hellmuth: "This is so beautiful. Time for an overbet."

Hellmuth reaches for chips and bets 4x the big blind. Everyone at the table folds, despite his pleas to entice his opponents to call him.

Hellmuth: "I got Thor Hansen's favorite hand!"

Thor Hansen shrugs his shoulders. He has no idea what Hellmuth is talking about.

Hellmuth: "Thor. You're favorite hand. Right here. If you can guess it, I'll show you?"

Thor Hansen: "Nine-eight suited?"

Hellmuth tables {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and launches into a fourteen-minute soliloquy about how he's setting everyone up for the moment he gets pocket aces and takes everyone's chips.
