Loi Tran Eliminated

Loi Tran
Loi Tran
Omaha-8:

After a raise from John D'Agostino, Phil Ivey and Loi Tran made the call. The flop came {10-?} {9-?} {4-?} and Ivey checked. Tran checked behind and D'Agostino bet. Ivey passed but Tran called all in. The players showed:

Tran: {K-?} {6-?} {4-?} {2-?}
D'Agostino: {A-?} {K-?} {5-?} {5-?}

The turn and river came the {K-?} and {10-?} respectively. Both players made two pair, but D'Agostino's ace kicker played. Loi Tran was eliminated.

Annie Duke Eliminated

A Well Oiled Machine

With some 42 events already in the books and the Main Event drawing near, it would be all but impossible to overlook how smoothly this WSOP has been run up to this point. From the mostly on-time scheduled starts, to the calculated pausing and resuming of play for breaks, to the efficient consolidation of tables, the tournament directors, dealers and floorpersons in charge here at the Rio, who have an oftentimes "thankless" job--regularly taking blame and seldom receiving credit--deserve a pat on the back for one of the most well run tournaments in recent memory.
