Berry Johnston Eliminated

Berry Johnston raised to 1,200 preflop and the cutoff called. The flop was {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Johnston bet 3,000, the cutoff raised the size of the pot, and Johnston called all in for about 5,000 more. His opponent showed {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a full house while Johnston turned over A-2-J-Q. The turn and the river were both blanks and with no low possible on the board, the cutoff scooped the pot, eliminating Johnston.

Second Chance

Bill Gazes, Bill Chen, Chad Brown, Tom Schneider, Kirk Morrison, Tony G, and Mike Sexton all started their day playing in the $50K H.O.R.S.E. event, which started Day 2 play at 2 p.m. After busting from that event, they couldn't get enough of the WSOP and joined the field of the $1,500 PLO8. Of those seven, five are still alive in this tournament-- Brown, Sexton, Chen, Gazes and Tony G.
