Are Chips Even Edible?

donpeters

The always colorful Chris Amaral stood from his chair and called for the floor. "This should be good." commented one of the floor guys. Upon visiting Amaral's table, the floor was proposed a question.

"Question. What if I'm in a hand and eat three of my chips?" Amaral asked, completely stone faced.

The floor just looked at him and laughed.

"No, really." Amaral went on to say. "Can I go and pass them up in the bathroom and then return them into player or is that not allowed?"

"We'll probably have to take those chips out of play or disqualify you." responded the floor.

There was a big multi-way all-in pot and Matt Glantz and David Singer's table. Both of the professionals were involved. Glantz held an eight-seven low at the end of the hand and Singer doubled paired to hold a nine-nine low. The other opponent in the hand held a seven-six low. That player not only scooped the pot, but he also scooped Glantz and Singer up and out of the tournament.

Here are some other players that have busted. Full payout information can be located on the payouts page.

While Gus Hansen doing pushups in the corner of the Brasilia Room during the break was thoroughly entertaining, the players are now back once again to entertain us on the felt. 34 players remain in the hunt for WSOP glory!

Schaaf Spikes Two-Outer

[user67765]

Stud

James Schaaf was all in by fourth street in a Stud hand against Frank Debus.

Debus' final board read ( {K-Diamonds}

)

(

) as Schaaf could only show ( {3-Clubs}

)

before both players sweated the river.

Schaaf only had two outs to improve and wouldn't you know it, he found the {9-Diamonds}

as Debus gave off a screech of disgust at the suckout as Schaaf stays alive! He's back to 35,000 chips.

Amaral Makin' a Comeback Y'all

donpeters

Chris Amaral was down to under 10,000 chips but has stormed back over the past hour or so. He came over to the media desk to shake the reporters and try and conjure up some lucky vibes. After that, he did some karate moves in the vacant tournament area to get his mind right. Did it work? It must have, because Amaral now has 120,000 chips.

Limongi Leads

[user67765]

Stud

Michele Limongi had taken down a nice Stud pot against two opponents. Limongi led the betting, with one opponent folding on the river with the other, Asher Derei making a crying call.

Limongi tabled {3-Clubs}

(

) for trip threes as Derei sighed and flashed two pair, aces over twos, before mucking.

Limongi is now up to a chip-leading 325,000!
