Nobody wants Wilson to, er, bust
Nobody wants Wilson to, er, bust
To the massive relief of all the gentlemen in the room, Torrie Wilson has made a slight recovery and stays in the game, albeit still rather shakily on just 6,000.

Mr Wilson called a bet on the {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Clubs} flop before checking behind on the {3-Diamonds} river. Her opponent bet 1,300 on the {K-Spades} river and Wilson called again. She flipped {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and her opponent mucked; she lives to fight another day, possibly in a bra and panties match...

Hou da Man?

I got 5's
I got 5's
Wow, an impressive recovery for Jesper Hougaard as he doubles up again to put him up to 32,000.

It looked as though Hougaard bet every street of the {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {5-Spades} board, finally moving all in on the river -- and must have been delighted to be called all the way down, as he was holding {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts} for quads.

"Ace ten?" he asked of his newly short-stacked opponent. Mr. Opponent nodded sadly.

Seiver Finds a Non-Believer

Scott Seiver raises to 600 and got called in middle position.

On the {A-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} Seiver bet 1,050 and his opponent called.

The pattern was repeated on the {6-Hearts} turn except Seiver bet 3,200 and was called.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Seiver went for a chunky 10,000 bet and once again got called. He flipped {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} for the flopped set, which was enough for the win.

Berman Busto

Lyle Berman is a goner.

He was holding {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} with two hearts on the ten-high flop when his chips went in, but Jacob Avital's pocket jacks held up, and that's the end of that for Berman.

Avital is on a chip-leading sort of 90,000 stack.

Let's See That Flop

With such deep starting stacks, it hasn't been surprising to see a lot of multi-way "family" pots, as players are often willing to call small preflop raises with a wide range of starting hands in order to see a flop.

Just saw a hand in which Alexia Portal opened with a raise to 550 from early position, and got no less than five callers. "Just six of us?" she said with a grin as the big blind decided to come along, too.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, it checked around to a player in middle position who bet 2,600, and the others all folded.

Portal has 32,500 now.

Break Time

We've reached the end of Level 2, and players are leaving the various locations at which they are playing in order to enjoy a 20-minute respite.

Some of the conversation overheard at a couple of tables just prior to the break suggested at least a few weren't quite sure that we were indeed playing five levels today, meaning the dinner break won't be coming until after Level 3. But indeed, that's the case -- five levels today, with the 90-minute break coming after the next two-hour level.

Level: 3

Blinds: 150/300

Ante: 0

Torrie Wilson Busts

Just before the break, Torrie Wilson's Main Event came to an end.

With the board reading {8-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {10-Spades}, Wilson got the last of her chips in drawing slim with {K-Spades} {8-Hearts} against Tony Keogh's {J-Hearts} {7-Spades}.

Wilson caught the {K-Hearts} on fourth street to catch a few more outs, but the river was {Q-Clubs} and Wilson is out at the end of level two.

The PokerNews Video Team was able to catch up with Wilson before she was eliminated - check out the video here:
