Hershier Than Thou

[user46392]

Currently (and most likely for the rest of the tournament) OUT -

Humberto "HUUUMMBBEEEEEEERRRRRTTOOO!!!!!!" Brenes knocked himself down a chip and a chair running K-J into an opponent's aces - then next hand he shoved his last 100 in blind, and discovered that he was against pocket queens - his K-2 couldn't compete and he's gone.

Eric Hershier, all in for his last 2,400 on the turn of an eventual {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} board with jacks, was horrified to see his opponent turn over {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for trips, and he is therefore OUT.

Lisandro Suffering From Agita

Mama Mia!
Mama Mia!
It would appear as though resident Tony Soprano lookalike Jeff Lisandro is frustrated at not getting the action he so desperately wants, his latest preflop raise seeing him snap up the blinds uncontested.

"I can't make it any cheaper than that!" he begs. "I don't know what else to do."

Jeff remains around the 5k mark.

Tricky Mickey

Mickey Appleman is amazingly still in - short-stacked to below the 1,000 mark for the last couple of levels, he just keeps hanging on in there. Most recently he moved all in for his last 550 with {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} and found a caller holding {8-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} - Appleman went ahead and flopped a full house anyway, leaving his opponent drawing dead on the flop of the {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} board.

The Poker Vacuum

As the last table from the far corner of the room breaks, the remaining 34 tables have now been compacted into one quadrant of the room. Scouring the area, there are still plenty of big names battling away, the likes of Dewey Tomko, Jeff Lisandro and my personal fave (I'm normally less biased, honest!) Jennifer Tilly looking to take home one of those shiny gold bracelets.

Katja's Last Meow

Katja Thater ran into some poor luck and is now heading for the door.

Crippled when her pocket Kings were outdrawn by an opponent holding pocket Sevens - all in preflop, and a Seven on the flop - she busted out a couple hands later, shoving under the gun with 6-7 and getting one caller. Her opponent turned over Kings, and she hit a close-but-no-cigar Q-Q-6 flop but it wasn't enough to keep her in.
