Welcome to Day 3 of Event 14

We're back in the Amazon room but we've moved over towards the TV arena. That signals to players we're approaching a WSOP final table. It was a late finish last night so the player's nerves would probably set in if they were awake enough. Cocktails have been called though so coffees all round is the order of the day and we'll be up to speed in no time. Play to begin very soon.

Chris Sparks Eliminated in 19th Place ($17,753)

19th Place - Chris Sparks
19th Place - Chris Sparks
Chris Sparks' buddies had planned to fly home this morning but changed their flight to rail their man. That probably wasn't the best decision as he's our first player out today.

He pushed once and managed to pick up the blinds and antes but when he pushed the next hand he was cold called by David Lerman on the button with {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. Off to the races as Sparks had {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}.

"Oh, that's the worst hand for me to race against I never win a race against sevens" was the cry from Lerman just before the board came down {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} to emphatically bust that notion.

New Seat Draw

Santos Tries for the Double Up

Gualter Santos and Roberto Truijers saw a {K-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} flop, which Truijers checked. Santos bet 40,000, and Truijers called it. Onwards to the {8-Diamonds} turn.

Again, Truijers checked, and this time Santos pushed his last 260,000 into the middle. Truijers gave the merest impression of thinking about it before passing.

Ace From Space

Panayote "Pete" Vilandos has just doubled through Londoner Andrew Seden. Vilandos was in trouble with his {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} to Seden's {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} but he hit his three outer on the {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {A-Spades} {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} board.

Vilandos up to 670,000, Seden down to 201,000.

Seth Too Aggro For His Own Good

Overnight chip leader Andy Seth had dropped below 1.2 million, largely as a result of a curious hand which he laid down to a 175,000 bet from Alan Jaffray on the turn of a {5-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {10-Spades} board. He then raised his button next hand and got the blinds, but when he raised his cutoff the hand after that, Ali Davoudi shoved from the big blind for 292,000. Seth passed with a sigh.
