With the board and 40,000 already in the middle, Ken Aldridge checked, Rich Belsky bet 15,000, then Aldridge check-raised all in for 65,000, forcing the fold from Belsky. Aldridge showed pocket sevens as he dragged the pot.
Aldridge is up to 94,000, and Belsky is at 44,000.
Kevin O'Leary is now out -- he got it in preflop with pocket tens, got called by , and one queen on the flop and another on the turn sent him to the rail.
We caught the action on the river on a board of , with Chris 'Genius28' Lee moving all in with a big overbet to put his opponent to a decision for all of his 32,400 chips.
After a few moments of thought, Lee's opponent made the call and tabled as Lee was caught on the bluff with just .
Lee slipped back to 13,500 chips, and was eliminated shortly after on a board of against an opponent holding .
Five players, including Marc Naalden, winner of Event No. 38 ($2,000 Limit Hold'em), limped to see the flop. It folded to Naalden who bet 3,000, and only the player on the button called. The turn was the , and Naalden bet 7,000. Again his opponent called quickly.
The river was the . This time Naalden bet 20,000, and once again got the call. He turned over for the flopped flush, and his opponent mucked. Naalden is up to 195,000 now.
With the board reading , Alexia Portal had bet 11,000 into a 30,000 pot on the river which put her opponent into the tank.
You could tell he had given some serious thought to the bet, as all but perhaps two of the other players were taking an opportunity to stretch their legs.
Eventually he made the call and Portal flipped . "Same hand!" he cried, turning over and they split the pot.
Tracy Heyward and Cory Albertson saw a flop and a turn, at which point we caught up with them.
Board:
Heyward bet out 16,000, and after some pondering, Albertson called, leaving himself 30,000 behind.
They both checked the river, and Albertson confidently flipped . Heyward looked at his hand for a minute, unintentionally (we think!) slow-rolling Albertson -- after a moment she flipped to take the pot and put her up to 120,000.
It's going to be very difficult for Ylon Schwartz to replicate his final table heroics from last year's WSOP Main Event, as he now finds himself headed to the rail after a clash with Bill Gazes.
Schwartz held pocket kings with all the chips in preflop against the ace-king of Gazes.
However, the board was spread and Gazes hit his ace to eliminate Schwartz from the tournament.
