King Kongsgaard

More chips for the young Danish pro as he sees a three-way flop of {K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. He and the initial raiser in early position both check and midposition bets 2,200. Kongsgaard now raises to 4,550 and quickly elicits folds from his two opponents.

A Few Chip Counts

I mistakenly reported Chris "Jesus" Ferguson was out a while back. My bad, he's still in with 7,500 chips.

More counts:

Captain Tom Franklin 24,000
Adam 'Roothlus' Levy 2,500
Marco Traniello 3,000
Phillippe Rouas 3,000
David Williams 7,000
James Mackey 7,300
Soren Kongsgaard 14,700
Yevgeniy Timoshenko 12,700

Falling Fast

With just minutes to go before dinner break we're down to less than 1,000 players. That means we have lost over two thirds of the field in six hours of play. That's some going and congratulations to the floor staff for keeping the tables balanced so well with the ludicrous rate of eliminations.

Matusow Says No

Jason Mercier - Would probably play a $2 WSOP event too.
Jason Mercier - Would probably play a $2 WSOP event too.
Wandering around the rail, Mike Matusow spotted Jason Mercier, complimenting him on the fact that Mercier could bust the $40,000 event but still pick himself up for this $1,000 tournament.

"I could never do something like that..." admitted 'The Mouth'.

Scissors Needed

Phillippe Rouas is sitting extremely short and in the big blind and that maybe the reason we had a five way limped pot. The flop came {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {2-Hearts}.

A player in mid position bet 1,300 and only Marco Traniello called before the turn came {2-Diamonds}. At this point both players committed the rest of their chips.

MP tabled {K-Hearts} {6-Hearts} to Traniello's {K-Spades} {J-Spades}. The river came {2-Spades} though meaning it was chop chop.

Anyone see the irony here?
