We've still got ourselves a couple of bracelet winners in the field, including the 2005 WSOP Main Event champ, Joe Hachem. During one of the earlier breaks, Glo caught up with Hash to chat about his luck at the EPT. Pass the sugar:
First in from the cutoff seat, Kyle Bowker raised to 28,000, and Per Ummer called in position. Heads up, the two men took a flop of , and Bowker continued out with a bet of 33,000. Ummer quietly announced an all in as he slid one stack forward, and Bowker instantly called off his last 199,000 chips to put himself at risk.
Showdown
Bowker:
Ummer:
Bowker had flopped both of his pairs, but he was going to need to fade the diamonds in the deck to avoid elimination. The turn was frighteningly red, but the river was safe and sound for "kwob20", earning him the double up.
"You just won't die, kid," Joe Hachem grinned from across the table. Indeed, Bowker is still hanging around, though his 480,000 chips are still below average for now.
The plan for tonight was to play either down to 24 runners, or seven levels. That remains the case, but it has just been announced that we will be taking a 90 minute dinner break at the end of this level before returning to play one more. We're not sure what the logic of taking a 90 minute break and then returning to play just 75 minutes is, but seeing as we don't have a choice we're just going to have to trust Mr. Kremser on this one.
Joel Nordkvist has been knocked out by Guillaume Rivet with falling to on a board. Incidentally, we'll be going on a 90 minute dinner break at the end of this level.
John Juanda opened for 32,000 and faced a reraise to 100,000 from Erik van Dijk in the big blind. After a while Juanda called, and they saw a flop.
Flop:
Van Dijk bet out another 100,000, and Juanda now shoved for around 290,000. Van Dijk thought about it for some time, and eventually called - only to exclaim, "Ohhhh, oh oh oh, nice hand," when he saw that he was in some trouble.
Van Dijk:
Juanda:
The turn and river were entirely unhelpful to van Dijk, and he was left with 200,000 or so. Juanda doubled to around 700,000 and is now very much back in the game.
