It seems that we have an internet celebrity among the remaining field today.
Eric Doerr, a tournament grinder on the WSOP circuit is currently sitting with a stack of roughly 90,000. He also recently scored a 7th place finish here in Chester for the Pot Limit Hold'em/Omaha event. But none of those accomplishments are what the table is currently talking about. Rather, the table's laughter is currently filling the room, as Doerr shared that he happens to be the star of a viral internet video.
Doerr was the victim of an office prank a few years back and it seems the video has gained some notoriety, as the YouTube account has over 260,000 hits. We won't spoil anything, as the video is too priceless; but let's just say we're hoping that no one in the room gets any ideas regarding the dealer's swivel chairs....
We found this hand on the flop with a board of . Eric Doerr checked, Kyle Cartwright bet 5,400 and Aaron Overton raised to 11,700. Doerr got out of the way and Cartwright called after a few seconds of thought. The turn came , Cartwright checked and Overton thoughtfully bet out 23,700. Cartwright kicked his cards back to the dealer and Overton took the pot, putting him in competition for the chiplead.
Brandon Fish opened the action, the button re-raised to 5,200 and Lee Childs moved all in from the big blind. Fish called and the button folded pocket tens face up.

The board ran an uneventful and Childs' day was done.
We caught up with Tuan Phan betting 7,400 on a flop of and Steven Skowronski raised to 16,300. Phan went deep into the tank after the raise, so deep that a player not involved in the hand called for the clock on Phan. The floorman arrived and informed Phan he had one minute to make his decision. The floorman announced when 30 seconds had passed and then started counting down from ten.
Just as the floorman reached one Phan quietly announced, "Call." The turn brought the , Phan checked and Skowronski checked behind after some thought. The river came and Phan checked again.
Skowronski checked behind and tabled for top pair. Phan turned up [3] for a flopped two pair and took a sizable pot. Phan is challenging for the chiplead after that hand.
We found Charles Moore heads up in a raised pot with a board reading . Moore checked to his opponent who continued out for 6,000. Moore called and the turn brought the . Moore checked once again and this time his opponent opted to check behind.
Fifth street was the and both players checked yet again. Moore triumphantly slapped on the table and his opponent mucked his hand. Moore is now sitting on a stack of about 70,000.
Players shouldn't be happy if they get moved to Table 34. It's quickly turning into a Table of Death. Seated at the table are Kyle Cartwright, Ryan Tepen, Joe Hebda, "Wild" Bill Phillips, Aaron Overton and John Doerr - a veritable Murder's Row for the WSOPC tour. What's even more unfortunate for the players is that it's going to be one of the last tables to break.
With the flop reading a player led out for 3,300 and received a call. Action was on Everett Carlton and he decided to push out a raise to 8,500. Carlton's raise was called by both players and all three saw the turn.
Carlton continued his aggression with a bet of 16,000, only to find his first opponent move all in for 41,500 total. The third player got out of the way and Carlton pondered a call.
"I think you have aces," Carlton proclaimed, "and I can beat those. So I call."
Carlton tabled for two pair but was behind his opponents set with . The river was of no help to Carlton and he's now sitting on a stack of only 17,000.
After a raise to 3,500, we found Tim Finne move his entire stack to the middle from the small blind. His opponent called and the two were off to the races.
Finne:
Opponent:
Finne was ahead and stayed that way after the board came . Finne had his opponent covered so he sent him packing while simultaneously padding his stack.
