David Wortham Eliminated

Dave Callaghan doubled through David Wortham when he moved in on the turn on a board of {J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Wortham made the call with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} but was in trouble against Callaghan's {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}.

The river was the {10-Spades} and Wortham slipped to 18,000.

A few moments later Wortham made a move with his last chips holding {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} but Sverre Sundbo called with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} to send Wortham to the rail.

Jose Severino = Chip Leader

On the flop of {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} Matt Widdoes fired out a bet of 7,000 and Jose Severino made the call. The turn was the {10-Spades} and Widdoes bet again for 23,000 before Severino moved all in. Widdoes made a crying call and showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for overcards and a straight draw, but Severino held some of his outs with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

The river was a repeat {10-Hearts} and Widdoes was left with small change as Severino captured the huge pot to jump to the tournament chip lead with about 360,000 in chips.

Nhut Tran's Sick Call

On a board of {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} Edward Sabat had moved all of his chips into the middle. It was 37,000 to call and his opponent, Nhut Tran, went into the tank before saying, "I know you have king-queen, I call."

Amazingly his incredible read was correct as Sabat sheepishly revealed {K-?}{Q-?}. Tran showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and eliminated Sabat holding just ace high with a world-class read.
