Tony Cosineau raised a player who had made it 450 to go preflop. Tony made it 1,200 and his opponent moved all in for his remaining 10,000. Tony looked up and replied, "Well, the good news is that I was really looking forward to playing in the 10k Omaha H/L event, so I'm gonna gamble with A-K."

Tony called, was up against pocket queens, and lost.

Good luck in the Championship event, Tony.

After have a big stack early J.C. Tran slipped back to just short of 2,000 before he doubled up. The player under the gun raised to 900 and Tran called from the big blind. The flop came {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {K-Spades} and Tran moved in for his last 575. He found that his {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} was up against his opponent's {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}, but after the {Q-Hearts} turned Tran spiked the {10-Diamonds} on the river to stave off elimination and double up to 4,200.

And being eliminated is what tends to happen when you have A-K, the flop come A-K-Q, all the money goes in, and you find you were up against pocket aces. And that's the scenario Sarah Bilney found herself in earlier today, which is why she's no longer in today's event.

Full Steam Ahead

Players have certainly not slowed down their action since the start of this level. We had lost 1,400 players when this level started, and in the last hour alone we've lost more than 200. The number of pros in the field has narrowed as well, opening up the gates for many unknown players looking to win their first WSOP bracelet.
