Hand-for-Hand #1: Ted Forrest Eliminated in 634th Place

Ted Forrest Waves Goodbye (Although this photo was taken on Day 2)
After a flop of {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}, Ted Forrest moves all in, and Stephen Lynch calls with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Forrest shows {K-Spades}{6-Spades} for a spade flush draw, and he'll need to improve to survive.

The turn card is the {6-Hearts}, and Forrest picks up two more outs to win the pot with trip sixes.

The river card is the {J-Diamonds}, and the pocket kings hold up. Ted Forrest is eliminated in 634th place, 13 places away from the money.

Bubblicious

The bubble is one of the most exciting moments of a poker tournament. During the WSOP main event championship, the bubble is even more crucial. The tension increases with every bustout during hand-for-hand play as the bubble approaches. Players will find out if they wasted $10,000 and three days of their life, or if they cashed in the most prestigious tournament in all of poker. The aggressive players will attempt to steal pots, while others are hoping that they don't get a hand so they can avoid playing in any of the pots over the next few hands. And the short stacks? They are praying that they are not the player who hits the rail under a cloud of despair while the 621 other players remaining in the room are clapping, cheering, and celebrating their milestone.

Hand #1 Complete; Hand #2 Begins

Jack Effel announces that it's time to deal the second hand of hand-for-hand play. Ted Forrest was the only player eliminated in that round.

The hold-up? With the board showing {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, the small blind bets 225,000, enough to put his opponent all in. His opponent thinks for several long minutes before folding, and the small blind shows A-8 for the bluff. The small blind was taking advantage of tight play on the money bubble.

Neil Chriss Eliminated

Neil Chriss moved all in with 10-10. He was called by a player with A-J. Chriss' hand did not improve after an ace flopped and he was one of the players eliminated during the second hand of hand-for-hand play.

Rain Khan Wields His Chip Stack on the Button

During Hand #3, Hevad 'Rain' Khan raises to 12,000, the player on the button raises to 32,000, and Khan (with the second most chips in the room) asks, "How much do you have behind?" The player shows another 141,000, and Khan reraises another 100,000, making the total bet 132,000.

Khan's opponent gets all flustered, as if he knows he's being played at, but can't do anything about it. He flashes a middle pocket pair (eights? sevens?) before he folds, and Khan mucks his cards as he takes the pot.
