Sabyl Cohen Eliminated by James Van Alstyne

On a board reading {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} on the turn, Sabyl Cohen bet 6,000 from the small blind, James Van Alstyne re-raised to 15,000 from the big blind, Cohen moved all in for 16,000 more and Van Alstyne called. Cohen turned over {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts} while Van Alstyne showed {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Cohen's hand did not improved on the river and she was eliminated.

In 2006, Sabyl Cohen earned the honor of being the highest-finishing woman in the WSOP Main Event, placing 56th for $123,699. She also finished 11th out of 2300+ players in this year's Event #27, $1,500 NLHE for over $28K.

Leng Continues KO Run

Ang Dong Leng continues to eliminate players, and increase his chip stack in the process. Since the break has ended, Leng has already eliminated two players!

The first was on a flop of A-A-J while Leng held A-J versus his opponent's pocket kings. The second was when Leng picked up pocket aces against an opponent's pocket kings.

How long will the streak continue? Leng is up to 125,000.

Todd Phillips Up to 312K

Todd Phillips continues his rush. He busted another player when his 9-9 held up against a short stack who pushed with A-6.

On the very next hand, Phillips was all in against a short stack. They pushed with {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Phillips called with {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

"I'm pretty sure I'll be doubling you up," Phillips told his opponent.

The flop was {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The turn was the {A-Spades}. Phillips picked up more outs for a tie. The river was the {K-Hearts}. Phillips ended up chopping the pot.

Phillips is currently at 312,000 after that pot.

Thomas Olsen Eliminated

Thomas Olsen made it 4,500 to go preflop. Nicolas Atlan made the call and the flop was {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Olsen led out for 5,500 and Atlan responded by raising to 16,500. Olsen came over the top for an additional 110,000, a move that put him all-in. Atlan made the call and showed A-K while Olsen showed {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Olsen missed his flush draw and was eliminated, much to the delight of Atlan, who began yelling and wooting. Olsen politely made his way to the over-excited Atlan and shook his hand before gathering his things and exiting the Amazon Room.

Field Update

There are 67 tables still in action, with approximately 600 players left in the field.

At the end of this level (shortly before 7:00 pm PDT), the players will take a 90-minute dinner break, and then play another two levels or when the field reaches 350 players, whichever comes first.

Minh Ly Doubles Up to 173,000

Minh Ly
Minh Ly
Minh Ly raises to 4,100, and one player calls. The flop comes {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}, Ly checks, his opponent bets 6,200, Ly raises to 18,200, and his opponent calls. The turn card is the {8-Diamonds}, Ly moves all in, and his opponent calls for his last 34,000 with {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. Minh Ly shows {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a set of tens.

The river card pairs the board with the {J-Diamonds}, and Minh Ly wins the pot with a full house (tens full of jacks), doubling up to 173,000 and eliminating his opponent.

Ross Boatman Eliminated

A player raises under the gun to 6,000, Daniel Snowden calls from the button, and Ross Boatman calls from the big blind. The flop comes {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Boatman checks, the under-the-gun raiser moves all in, Snowden moves all in over the top, and Boatman calls all in. They show:

Under the Gun: A-A
Daniel Snowden: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Ross Boatman: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Snowden leads with a set of jacks, and he has the most chips. Boatman has a diamond flush draw, while the other player is drawing to a single out -- the case ace.

The turn card is the {7-Hearts}, and Boatman picks up additional outs with a gutshot straight draw, and he can win with an eight or any diamond but the seven or the deuce. The under-the-gun player is still looking for the last ace, and Snowden wins on any other card.

The river card pairs the board with the {2-Hearts}, and Daniel Snowden wins the pot with a full house, jacks full of deuces, to eliminate two players in one hand.

Ross Boatman is eliminated from the Main Event.
