Robl has K-K

The board runs out {9-Diamonds}

and Robl more than doubles to 67,600. Woodward is eliminated, and Shulman is down to 51,650.

Just overheard Anna Wroblewski (who busted out of this event a while ago) encouraging Ted Forrest to consider buying into the Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better event (Event No. 6). Forrest's stack here has dwindled down to 18,000, so he may be considering how he's going to spend the rest of the evening.

Meanwhile, it sounds as though Howard Lederer and Forrest are contemplating a side bet of $700,000 on whether or not Forrest will cash in any event at this year's Series. Can that be true?

Williams Busts Griffin in Huge Hand

Shamus

Three players, including Gavin Griffin and David Williams, saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}

. Griffin checked, Williams bet 5,000 into the 10,000 pot, the third player called, and then Griffin reraised to 15,000. Williams called and the third player folded. The pot was about 45,000.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs}

. Griffin led for 40,000, and Williams spent a considerable amount of time contemplating his decision. Finally Williams put in a big enough raise to cover Griffin, who called.

Williams showed pocket tens for top set, and Griffin had already thrown his cards in the muck before the {J-Spades}

came on the river. Griffin is out, and Williams is now up to 240,000.
