Stephen Hendry Eliminated
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
We saw Stephen Hendry heading to the cage to get paid out, and he explained that a set-over-set situation saw him eliminated.
He raised with 
and Pandhraic Mulligan to his immediate left three-bet and Hendry called. They both checked the 
flop. Hendry continued on the turn and his opponent called, and the seven-time world champion moved all in on the river with his opponent snap-called. His opponent showed Kings for a bigger set.
Hendry said that the whole experience has been amazing.
"To be honest I've been card dead all day," he explained, "I managed to get some scores here or there to keep myself ticking along.
"I'm happy to have cashed - 56th!"

The Deeper She Goes; The Louder She Gets
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Deborah Worley-Roberts' table was the latest to break and she let out a cry of anguish.
"Parting is such sweet sorrow," she said, almost Shakespeare-esque. The Romeo to her Juliet? Gaetano Brignone.
"I didn't bust out Pussy Cat!" said Worley-Roberts, referring to Brignone.
Someone uttered the almost compulsory 'See you at the Final Table' and Worley-Roberts lept upon it.
"You had better concentrate and play better! I'll see you there!"
Arriving at her new table Worley-Roberts greeted her new table mates but got zero response so she promptly called them, “Miserable fuckers.”
Virgilio Dicicco opened for 12,000 and it folded to Worley-Roberts in the big blind who called.
The flop was and Worley-Roberts check-called a 25,000 bet from Dicicco.
The turn was the and a check saw a shove from Dicicco.
“You are an angry man aren’t you?” Worley-Roberts.
“Call, call,” Dicicco responded as Worley-Roberts began to decide on what to do and asked for the pot to be spread and a count of his stack.
“Two to one,” she pondered, “Ninety six more? I don’t believe you my friend. My gut has been pretty goddamned good this year honey. I must be insane.”
Worley-Roberts called and Dicicco turned over 
to the 
of Worley-Roberts.
The 
on the river completed the board and the full house for Dicicco.
Not the start at the new tables she was looking for and Worley-Roberts berated herself for making such a read straight after joining a brand new table.
