No Action for Full House

Dominik Kulicki raises it up to 36,000 and Andrew Jeffreys calls.

Both check an 8-3-8 rainbow flop.

Kulicki checks, Jeffreys bet 40,000 and Kulicki folds.

Jeffreys shows 3-3.

Keeping it in the Family

Currently steaming ahead is Blair Hinkle, on 950,000. It's a good WSOP so far for the Hinkle family -- Blair's brother Grant already won a bracelet in Event 2, and this Hinkle is in a very excellent position to take a shot at getting his own hardware tomorrow, barring any disasters tonight.

It's Like Chris-Mas

Matt LaGarde opens for 33,000, and Nick Niergarth makes it 68,000. Chris Bjorin then goes all in for another 185,000. LaGarde gets out of the way, and Liergarth calls.

Niergarth: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Bjorin, a very ahead: {Q-?} {Q-?}

There is one heart on the {J-?} {4-?} {5-?} flop and another on the {7-Hearts} turn, but the final non-heart {J-?} on the river was no good for Niergarth, and Bjorin doubles up.to 560,000.

Ehrlich Out

Matt Ehrlich is no more. He and Andrew Jeffreys saw a {J-?} {5-?} {6-?} flop, which they both checked. The turn was a {4-?} and Ehrlich bet 20,000; Jeffreys called. And when Ehrlich shoved the {5-?} river, Jeffreys was only too happy to call.

Ehrlich: {J-?} {6-?} for a flopped two pair.
Jeffreys: {4-?} {5-?} for a rivered full house.
