On a board reading 
, Terry Grimes checked from the small blind and Bobby Corcione took the opportunity to bet 7,200. Grimes, who has flanked by a beautiful woman the entire tournament, made the call and then checked the 
river. Corcione fired out 8,200 and Grimes snap-called.
"You win," Corcione sheepishly said. Grimes then tabled the 
for two pair with an ace kicker. Corcione simply mucked and took stock of his remaining chips.

So asked Don Rosenberg of no one in particular following his last hand of the WSOP Circuit Foxwoods Main Event.
We missed the action prior to the turn, but by then Rosenberg was all in with 
versus the 
of John Yale and the first three community cards were 
.
An unenviable spot no doubt for Rosenberg, and the 
turn card — inspiring calls for a fourth heart from him — added further to the disappointment as the river came the 
. Asking his questions, Rosenberg headed railward.

Kurt Jewell and Ronnie Bardah are sitting at the same table, both having bought in at the start of play today in an effort to double up quickly with relative short stacks and get back into contention. And both are off to positive starts here in the first hour of play.
Jewell had already added chips before recently knocking out David To to push his stack up close to 100,000.
In that hand flop action saw To all in and ahead with 
on a board versus Jewell's 
. But the turn brought the to improve Jewell's pair to a flush, and the 
added a cherry on top by completing a straight flush.
"The man, the legend," said Bardah afterwards as he snapped a picture of Jewell with his phone.
Soon thereafter it was Bardah picking up pocket aces and doubling himself.
"35-ball... back in action!" said Bardah, referring to his newly-bolstered stack.

The conversation is lively over at Table 11, where another round of antes — currently 200 per player — prompted some conversation about that old WSOP story regarding Prahlad Friedman and Jeff Lisandro from late in the 2006 Main Event.
Many recall how Friedman had mistakenly accused Lisandro of not contributing an ante before a hand, which led to a lengthy, tense exchange between the pair. A younger player at the table wasn't familiar with the story's details, and so Raymer and Paredes were offering to explain.
"He said 'I'll knock your block off'" said Paredes with a wide grin, paraphrasing Lisandro's answer to having been wrongly accused, and his listener laughed in response.
Everyone's contributing their antes in orderly fashion at Table 7, and so far both Paredes and Raymer have been collecting a few more back as they've both improved upon their starting day stacks.
