Tranwreck

JC Tran is down to about 120,000 after he called a bet of 77,500 on the river of a {J-Clubs} {4-Spades} {2-Hearts} {J-Spades} {7-Clubs}. He mucked however when the button showed him {K-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}.

Chen Doubles Through Annette

Andrew Chen has doubled through Annette Obrestad, all-in preflop with {8-Hearts} {8-Spades} against {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}, the board came {4-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {2-Spades}. Chen making a full house on the river to double up over the 100,000 mark, Obrestad is still decently stacked however.

When the Levy Snaps

Steven Levy does not seem to enjoy being possessor of a below-average stack. Just now he became involved in a three-way pot with Benny Spindler and another player, the three of them seeing a {J-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} flop. It seems to have checked around to Levy -- but whatever happened, Levy moved all in and both players folded with alacrity.

Levy's on around 100,000.

Vedes Doing Just Fine

Tommy Vedes raised and got a call; they went heads up to the {3-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} flop and Vedes checked. His opponent bet 16,500 and Vedes looked like he really didn't want to, but called anyway. Vedes checked again on the {K-Spades} turn and this time his opponent bet 27,000. After a moment Vedes let it go, but even after that loss, he's still flying high on around 480,000.

Sheringham Scores!

With a fairly healthy pot already in the middle and Christian Harder all-in. Teddy Sheringham called a 20,000 bet from Joel Nordvist on the {K-Spades} {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} flop before moving all-in for 100,000 on top of Nordvist's 50,000 turn bet on the {Q-Spades}.

Nordvist called and showed {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}, Harder had {8-?} {8-?} but Sheringham's {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} stayed ahead on the {A-Diamonds} river.

The former England striker has about 400,000 now and is amongst the chip leaders.

Juanda Slows Down

Rui Milhomens check-calls a bet of 27,200 from John Juanda on a {Q-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} board before both check the {Q-Hearts} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river.

Milhomens shows {5-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} and that's enough to get last year's WSOPE Main Event winner to muck.
