Sol Bergren Doubles Up

Sol Bergren
Sol Bergren
Sol Bergren, the 4th place finisher at the APPT Grand Final Event in Sydney, pushed the last of his chips into the middle on the turn holding A-T for top pair and a straight draw on a board of {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. However his opponent made a pretty quick call with A-9 for two pair. Sol needed some help on the river and the miracle {8-Spades} delivered Sol the straight and a pot worth in excess of 10,000 chips!

Tables of Death

As the field condenses, two new "tables of death" have emerged. Van Marcus, Emad Tahtouh, James Potter and Tiffany Williamson (15th place at the 2005 WSOP Main Event) are all seated together at Table 29, while right behind them Mel Judah, 2007 Poker News Cup Champion Dory Zayneh, and David Bach (who came thisclose to a WSOP bracelet in PLO8 last summer) slug it out behind them at Table 30.

Jethro Dodges Top Set

Jethro Horowitz raised it up from the cutoff to 700 and the player on the button made the call. The blinds stepped out of the way and the two players saw a flop of {8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Jethro led out with a bet of 1,500 chips, and his opponent casually delcared he was all in while fiddling with his iPod. Jethro thought for a few moments before folding his hand, and his opponent flipped over pocket nines for top set!

The Michael Vartan Update

For all you "Alias" fans out there, I'm pleased to report that the very dreamy Michael Vartan is still alive and kicking in this tournament, with just under 6,000 in chips. He's holding his own at a tough table with online superstar Shaun Deeb seated three to his right, wielding a massive stack.

Emad Tahtouh is Psychic

"I can read your thoughts"
"I can read your thoughts"
The UTG player opened the pot for 600 and Emad Tahtouh called from middle position. The flop was {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {Q-Hearts}. The UTG player bet 600 and Tahtouh called. The river was the {A-Clubs}. The UTG player tossed out another 1,200, sending Tahtouh into the tank.

"You must have A-Q. That's the only hand you could have here" said Tahtouh as he folded his K-Q face up.

Sure enough, Tahtouh's opponent turned over... A-Q.

Though Tahtouh took a small hit on that hand, he is still among the current chip leaders with over 15,000.

Marsha Waggoner Eliminated

The UTG player limped in for 200, the UTG+1 player limped in behind him, Marsha Waggoner moved all in for 3,500 from middle position, the UTG player called and the remaining limper folded. Waggoner turned up {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} and cringed as the UTG player turned up {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}. The board ran out {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Waggoner made a gracious exit, joining her husband Kenna James on the rail.
