river. His opponent called, and quickly mucked to the flush.Pagano's up to 48,000.
, and a player in the hijack seat bet 3,500. Eslami, on the button, raised behind him to 9,000. The player mistakenly thought Eslami had just called, not raised, and thus tabled his hand -- 
.The floor was called, and it was ruled that the player still had the option either to fold or bet. It sounds like he was given a warning, though, for showing his hand before acting.
The player chose to call with his straight, but Eslami turned over
for the higher straight. Eslami is up to 90,000 now.
Earlier, we saw a hand over on table #155 where the board read

No help.

Someone suggested that Coren, who'd been standing to leave, sit back down again.
River: smack!
Kings held up after all, and Ms. Coren makes an early exit.
Hard to believe that in 1970 just seven players participated in the first ever World Series of Poker, whereas today the WSOP routinely attracts thousands and thousands.
In this second part of a three-part series, the PokerNews crew tells how the WSOP began the process of growing from a modest event designed as a kind of gamblers' reunion into the huge spectacle it has become today:
Both checked the
flop. The 
came on the turn. The UTG player checked, Davis bet 5,000, and his opponent called.The river was the
, and both checked. Davis' opponent showed 
, and Davis showed 
for the turned set. Afterwards, Davis said he thought his opponent might've had queens, thus the caution on the end.Davis has chipped up to 70,200 now.
First, the down.
Hoivold and one other player saw a
flop, which the other player checked to Hoivold. Hoivold bet 3,400 -- but the other gent check-raised to 10,000 and Hoivold gave it up. Down to 22,000.A little while later, after some admirable clawing, Hoivold got involved in a monster of a pot, calling a preflop raise from a gent in early position to see a
flop.Mr. Early Position bet out 1,300 and Hoivold made it 3,400. Call.
Mr. Early Position proceeded to check-call 5,625 form Hoivold on the
turn and another 8,400 on the 
river -- but he couldn't beat Hoivold's for a full house.Up to 53,000.
According to players at the table, including Gary Clarke, the player in question had been steadily drinking and then declared to his tablemates that he was going to the restrooms.
The player then left and it was only after he had gone that the rest of the table noticed that there was only one $100 blue chip remaining on the table when the player had been playing with a stack of between 5,000 and 6,000.
Chips taken off the table in this manner are removed from play and hence he blinded out a few hands later and has now been eliminated from the tournament.
They saw a flop of
and action checked to Levy who fired 1,625. The cutoff player called as the limper folded.The turn brought the
and Levy tossed out a single orange chip with the announcement of what sounded like "2,700". His opponent deliberated for several minutes as the two exchanged some friendly banter, before he quipped "I think you have me out-kicked," and folded."I have you out-kicked all right..." replied Levy and flashed
for the nut flush.Levy had taken a few blows recently but is now back to around 45,000 chips. Meanwhile his table sparring partner Andrew Scott was recently sent to the rail.
