Bryan Dillon opened for 42,000 and Mike Scarborough raised to 140,000 from the cutoff. Action folded around back to Dillon and he called. The flop fell and Dillon bet 250,000. Scarborough tanked and then asked, "If I fold will you show me?"
Dillon replied, "Do you want me to?"
"Gah, that's some triple reverse psychology there," Scarborough said before he folded.
As we were uploading our batch of photos, we missed out on the elimination of Nic Johnson. While we don't have any details, we thought we'd at least post something for the Nic Johnson fans out there, like his good friend Matt Davis.
Likewise, Okla White has made his way to the payout desk.
Jeff Gross just swung by our desk and informed us of his elimination. It happened in a 1,000,000+ pot when he ran into . Given the situation, Gross seemed in good spirits, no doubt pleased with his deep run here in the WSOP-Circuit Main Event.
Joe Hebda opened the pot with a raise and was soon met with an all-in three-bet to 203,000 total by Paul Stellatos. Hebda made the call and it was off to the races.
Showdown
Hebda:
Stelatos:
We'd like to say there was some excitement and suspense, but the put an end to any of that. The turn and river were inconsequential as Stellatos exited the tournament floor; meanwhile, Hebda is up to about 1.8 million.
"Payout, Table 3," was all we heard from across the room. By the time we made our way over, the cards had been swiped and Josh Brikis was waiting for the floor to escort him to the payout desk. We tried to get the details, but no one was anxious to volunteer. Whatever the hand, Brikis has been eliminated in 34th place and will take home $8,365.
