Three Women Remain in the Field

Annie Duke (80,000), Ming Reslock (110,000) and Julie Schneider (30,000) are the three lone women remaining in the tournament.

Both Schneider and Reslock lasted longer in this event than their better known bracelet winning spouses, Tom Schnieder and Chris Reslock.

There have been two separate married couples that have both won WSOP bracelets; Max and Maria Stern as well as Harry and Jeri Thomas.

An Update from Matt Savage

With players busting out so quickly, it's tough to keep up with all of the action. Thankfully, Matt Savage is a Twitter addict. Here's his last update:

Short stacked and moved to table with Lindgren, Freddy Deeb, Jordan Rich, and Pat Poels. Brutal! First hand I double up to 16K! Wish me luck.

Chip Leader Robert Price Takes a Small Hit

Brock Parker raised from under the gun and a player in early position and Robert Price in the big blind made the call.

The flop came {10-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {3-Hearts} and all three players checked. The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and Price lead out from the small blind only to be raised by Parker. The player in early position got out of the way and Price called. The {K-Spades} fell on the river and both players checked it down.

Parker showed {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {2-Spades} for just a pair of queens to take down the pot.

Brock Parker - 80,000
Robert Price - 145,000

Don't Critique Flack

After the player on the button raised, Jason Risenberg called out of the small blind and Layne Flack called out of the big blind. The flop came down {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}.

Risenberg and Flack checked and the button player bet. Risenberg folded, but Flack called.

The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and both players checked. The river was the {A-Clubs} and both players checked again.

Flack tabled {A-?} {A-?} {8-?} {7-?} after saying, "I have three sets." He corrected himself by saying he meant to say "I have three of a kind." His opponent tabled {A-?} {Q-?} {10-?} {5-?} and remarked about Flack's hand.

"You want me to fold aces to that?!?" questioned Flack. "Against the old ace-queen-ten-five trick??!?!"

The player mumbled something else to which Flack responded, "Wait, what'd you say??? I'm stacking."

"This guy is gonna critique my hand." finished Flack with a smile.
