Batfinked!

With 5,000 in the pot, Matt Fink check-called a bet of 3,200 on a {J-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {4-Spades} from Rep Porter. The turn was the {6-Spades} and Fink called 4,800 this time. On the {J-Hearts}, Fink checked again and this time Porter gave up, mucking when Fink showed him {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}

Vinnie Vanquished!

Vinnie Vinh has just been knocked out of the tournament. He saw a {A-Clubs} {J-?} {10-Clubs} flop against another player which went check-check. On the {9-Clubs} turn, Vinh bet 1,500 and was called. The river was the {K-Hearts} and Vinh checked with his opponent setting him all-in.

Vinh made the call but mucked and quickly left the table once he was shown {A-?} {Q-?}

Flushed with Success

JC Tran
JC Tran
J C Tran has been beating up his table all day long. He keeps them entertained with table chat and takes their chips almost without them noticing. He does get a bit lucky too from time to time.

In this hand he took a player on with {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} but found his opponent had woken up with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. The board ran {K-Spades} {8-Spades} {6-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} to give Tran a nut flush and a very healthy pot that puts him up to 55,000.

Aiming To Cash...Again

Nikolai Evdakov last year picked up the record for most cashes in a year at the WSOP, a record that gave him the unflattering name, 'The Cockroach', a tribute to his survival instincts.

It should come as no surprise that he's already on his way to cash #1 of 2009. The Russian is sitting with a healthy 18,000 at the moment with only 660 players left of Day 1b.

Gobbo Gone?

Jimmy Fricke looks to have gone MIA. We can't confirm he's out just yet but it looks as though he may have been eliminated in the last fifteen minutes or so.
