The Fingernails Of His Fingernails

[user76023]

Michael Greco is still in. Just. He has 30,000 but has been waiting a long time to make his move but seems to be waiting for hands despite having been virtually blinded away.

Samanek Tran-sforms His Stack

[user46392]

Please god, I'd like some more chips. Ty.

Further woe for Theo Tran, as he raised under the gun to be met with a reraise from Josef Samanek. Once everyone had got out of their way, Tran dwelled mightily before announcing all in -- and was mortified when Samanek insta-called.

Tran: {7-Clubs}

Samanek:

Board:

Tran walked off in frustration and is left with 400,000; Samanek meanwhile is up to 800,000 or so and probably very happy.

Lichtenberger Kills Jesus

[user76023]

Chris Ferguson was all-in for around 200,000 with {A-Spades}

against Andrew Lichtenberger's {Q-Diamonds}

. The flop came with the {A-Diamonds}

but also the {Q-Hearts}

and then followed by the {5-Diamonds}

and

.

It also leaves Peter Eastgate as the last WSOP main event winner still in this tournament.

Greco Still In...Somehow

[user76023]

It was on Michael Greco's big blind with 16,000 of his 50,000 in the middle and after an early position raise, Greco decided to give up this hand.

The next hand he called all-in against Raymond Wu's button raise, his {J-Clubs}

ahead of Wu's {10-Spades}

and stayed that way after a {Q-Clubs}

board.

Greco shouted, "Now I'm back in business!"

He has five big blinds, around 80,000 chips.

Caprioli Steams Ahead, Suharto Does Not Donk

[user46392]

A chunky pot had developed by the time Nikolai Senninger bet out on the river of the {K-Spades}

board. Rodrigo Caprioli called, and turned over {A-Spades}

. Senninger mucked, and Caprioli moved up to 1.55 million, rather a lot more than he had last time we checked.

It was at this point that Darus Suharto called your blogger over to explain why he had only 200,000 or so left.

It transpires that Mr. Suharto had raised with {7-Clubs}

from the button and Caprioli had called. All the chips had gone in on the {10-?}

, two-spades flop and Caprioli turned over {9-Spades}

. Six on the turn, blank on the river.

"At least I don't donk my chips," he said remarkably cheerfully.

Berry Big Tank...

[user76023]

Michael Berry raised to 35,000 from the button, Martin Gudvangen reraised to 96,000 from the small blind.

So far, so standard.

Then Berry min-reraises to 175,000 and Gudvangen moved all-in!

Berry began to think as a growing media crowd behind him, he then lifted his cards up high, usually a sign that a player is folding. The entire row of media got to see the {K-Clubs}
