Sandra Naujoks Eliminated

[user67765]

On a board reading {j-Clubs}

Sandra Naujoks was put to a decision for the last of her chips by Len Ashby, as she went into the tank to ponder the decision.

She eventually made the call but couldn't beat the {A-Clubs}

of Ashby as she mucked and exited the room much to our disappointment.

Zolotow Escapes Set Over Set

[user67765]

Steve Zolotow found himself in one of the worst spots in poker on a flop of {2-Diamonds}

. He held {9-Diamonds}

for a set but Robert Mizrachi committed all of his chips holding {Q-Diamonds}

for top set to leave Zolotow in trouble.

However the turn was the {J-Clubs}

and river the {8-Clubs}

to give Zolotow an unlikely running straight to collect the pot and and leave Mizrachi shaking his head all the way to the rail.

"I'm sorry," was all that Zolotow could say as he now sits with 215,000 chips.

Like J-T-7-6 On A 9-8-2 Board...

[user76023]

That's a wrap.

Today we were fortunate enough to see 295 of the world's best players hit the felt for a fast-paced day of PLO action. For the first time at this year's WSOP the biggest names in the game were all on show. Ivey, Negreanu, Farha, Antonius, Hansen and Dwan were just some of the names that came and went as around 117 players made it through the day.

They will return tomorrow at 2pm and attempt to make it to the final table on Monday. At short glance it appears to us that Noah Schwartz is the chip leader with 292,600. Ilari Sahamies, Josh Arieh, Steve Zolotow and David Williams all lurk close behind.

We'll look forward to your company again tomorrow as we play down to our final table! See you then!
