A Noble Suckout

A player under the gun raised to 875 and another player in middle position called. Dimitri Nobles reraised all in and the under-the-gun player also went all in over the top. The middle-position player called.

UTG had {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
MP had {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Nobles had {A-Spades}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and the turned flush tripled up Nobles and put a serious dent in the other stacks.

Rajkumar Knocks out Shaun Deeb

Vivek Rajkumar raised from late position to 800, the button called, and Shaun Deeb reraised all in from the small blind with his last 925. Rajkumar and the button both called.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Rajkumar bet, and the button folded. Deeb showed {A-Spades}{J-Spades}, but Rajkumar had {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a pair nines. The turn and river brought no help for Deeb, and he's out.

A-7 No Good for Jesus

A player under the gun raised to 800 and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson reraised all in for 5,200. The opponent called with {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Ferguson had {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The board ran {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and the turned king took out Ferguson.

Thirty-Six Tournaments in One

We ended up with 36 tables' worth of players at today's event.

By the way, we won't be entering chip counts today on the "Chip Counts" page, as they aren't meaningful in a compiled list. We will be adding players over there as we see them, though, and trying to keep up with bustouts over there, as well.

Rain is Reigning

Hevad "Rain" Khan, in early position, and a player in the cutoff got it all in preflop. Khan had {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and his opponent had {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. The board came {10-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Khan bulldozed his opponent. He's at 18,000.

Tangling with the World Champion

Jerry Yang, the defending WSOP Main Event Champion, limped in from early position. Mark Seif raised to 700 and a player in the cutoff called. James Hoeppner was all in on the button for 7,750 and Yang folded. Seif also folded, and so did the cutoff.
