Erick Lindgren Eliminated in 27th Place ($25,817)

[user67765]

We caught the action on a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

where after a series of raises, Erick Lingren found his last chips in the middle against Josh Arieh.

Lindgren tabled {Q-Clubs}

for two pair with straight draws, but Arieh held {A-Spades}

for a set of aces.

The turn was the {9-Spades}

and Lindgren took the lead with his straight but the river was the {Q-Hearts}

to give both players a full house, with Arieh's aces full of queens taking the pot.

"Wow, that's the second time I've lost with a full house," sighed Lindgren.

"It's bust your buddy day," replied Arieh.

Lindgren is first to the cashier to collect $25,817 with Arieh up to 460,000 chips.

That's A Wrap

[user67765]

After a long, disrupted day of poker we've whittled 116 players down to our final 25. They are all going to sleep easier tonight with $25,817 already locked up, but most have their sights set on a much bigger collect.

If we thought today was long, strap yourself in for a huge day of Pot Limit Omaha tomorrow. These guys are the best of the best. They're not going to throw this away lightly. Expect play to extend until the wee hours of tomorrow morning before a WSOP champion is crowned.

The lineup is packed with Austin and Marcus looking for back-to-back PLO final tables, Williams, Lederer, Greenstein and Arieh all desperate to taste more WSOP gold, and overnight chip leader Noah Schwartz with over 1.2 million chips, looking to go coast-to-coast for what would be a tremendous victory.

It all kicks off again at 1pm tomorrow. If you can't get down to the Rio to watch the action in person, then stay locked into PokerNews as we bring this baby home. Until then, good night!
