You Can't Stop Tom Schneider, You Can Only Hope To Contain Him

Did we say Tom Schneider won two pots in a row with Aces? How about he's won five pots in a row to lift his stack from 16,000 to 80K. On one he held {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}, check-called a 9,700 bet when the {J-Spades} on the turn gave him top pair, and checked it down when the {K-Clubs} fell on the river. He raked in about a 20K pot in that instance and has everyone at his table tilting and talking among themselves.

Sebok Alive, Barely

Yet another all-in for Joe Sebok today. This time it was a race, and Sebok found himself behind on the flop.

Flop: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Sebok held pocket queens while his opponent had {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. His opponent was ahead, but Sebok had outs. The turn was the {3-Spades}, but the miracle river {J-Hearts} kept Sebok alive with the straight. Sebok is currently up to 37,000.

Mr. Know-It-All

Two players ended up all in. One held pocket Kings, the other A-Q. The flop comes {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

"I knew it," said the player with Kings.

The turn comes {K-Diamonds}.

"Oh," he says.

The river is the {K-Clubs}.

"Bet you didn't know THAT," said another player at the table.

747 Players Remain

The tournament staff is now breaking the ninth table since the last break, which was 41 minutes ago. That's about 80 players who have disappeared in that time.

With 83 tables remaining, there are approximately 747 players left in the field.

Dan Harrington Eliminated

A player in late position made it 5,000 to go, while the player in the cut off smooth called. It was then on Dan Harrington, on the button, who raised it up to 20,000. The player in the cut off moved all-in for an additional 13,000 to Harrington. The other player in the hand folded and it was heads-up going into the flop.

Harrington turned over A-Q while his opponent showed A-K. They both hit an ace on the flop, but Harrington failed to connect by the river and was eliminated.

A middle-position player made it 5,000 to go and Tony G moved all-in for his remaining 10,000. The player in the big blind moved all-in for 30,000 and the middle-position player called. The table was quite surprised as all three players turned over their hands to reveal pocket tens, pocket kings, and pocket aces.

Tony G had the pocket tens.
