We grabbed Joe Sebok on break from his day 1 of the WSOP Main Event to talk about winning the prop bet that lead to us seeing Jeff Madsen in a jester costume yesterday, about one member of the prop bet being MIA, and about once again having a huge stack at the beginning of a tournament.

Jason Lester Cracks Kings and Busts a Player

A player raises from middle position, Jason Lester reraises to 1,500, the original player reraises to 5,000, and Lester calls. The flop comes {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}, Lester pushes, and his opponent calls all in for 5,800 with {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. Lester shows {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for a flush draw, an open-ended straight draw, and one overcard.

The turn card is the {K-Hearts}, completing Lester's straight, but giving his opponent outs to a full house. The river card is the {A-Diamonds}, and Lester wins the pot with an ace-high straight, increasing his stack to 26,100 and eliminating his opponent.

Steve Wong Eliminated

After a flop of {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Steve Wong is all in from the small blind with {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for top pair with a gutshot straight-flush draw. His opponent shows {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the flopped flush, and Wong needs the six of diamonds or something runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn card is the {7-Clubs}, and Wong improves to two pair, giving him four outs to win the pot with a full house. But the river card is the {3-Hearts}, and Wong is eliminated by his opponent's king-high flush.

From Early Chip Leader to Early Exit

Robert Cheung, who after just a few hands this morning doubled up and became an early chip leader, has just been eliminated.

Cheung was all-in with {A-Spades}{J-Spades} and was called by an opponent holding {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. Cheung flopped a jack, but his opponent flopped a king. Cheung failed to improve and was eliminated.

After Cheung left the table, one of the players there said, "That was like, the third time I've seen that guy go all-in in the last hour".
