Plucky Chris Bjorin

The irremovable Chirs Bjorin
The irremovable Chirs Bjorin
Plucky Chris Bjorin, who's harder to remove than gum on your shoe, has just doubled up to 200,000 and looking more and more likely to creep onto that final table.

All in against Dustin Dirksen, Bjorin needed to avoid a king with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} against {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The {6-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop was a nice one, but the {10-Spades} turn was even nicer, Dirksen drawing dead before the {2-Hearts} river.

Dirksen -- 450,000
Bjorin -- 200,000

Tang Gone as Well

Ricky Tang, also crippled by Lenoble in his three-way all-in bonanza, is now OUT. Lenoble raised all in with pocket nines on the cutoff, and small blind Tang called with 10-6 offsuit.

Board: {Q-Hearts} {2-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Spades}.

Wheldon Eliminated

Indeed, Wheldon won the side pot in that monstrous hand -- which was an ante-sized 1,000. He did manage to double up to a whopping 2,000, but he got his last shrapnel in with 5-8 offsuit, didn't hit, and is now OUT.

Dirksen Doubles

Dustin Dirksen has doubled up to a Jeffreys-threatening 560,000 in chips.

The major hand involved neighbor Ricky Tang as the two players clashed in a battle of the blinds encounter.

Folded round to the small blind, Dirksen limped, only for Tang to make it 30,000 more from the big blind. Dirsken re-popped to 250,000 all in and Tang called.

Tang = {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Dirksen = {A-Spades}{8-Spades}

Board = {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Tang crippled.

Bircheff Eliminated

Loudest player in the tournament, Dylan Bircheff, has been eliminated.

He got it all in preflop with {J-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} against Stephane Tayar's {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} -- the board a king-less {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}.

Bircheff pounded his fist on the table, telling the whole table he loved them. "I played so good, I had to make a move sometime."

Shouting something at volume about the bracelet, he headed for the cash desk. "I'll be back next year!" he warned.

Tayar is currently on 295,000.
