Lauria Moving Up

Not Kara Scott
Not Kara Scott
Bob Lauria was all in before the flop for about 170,000. He held {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} and he ran smack into the {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} of Kara Scott.

Not to worry, Mr. Lauria. The board ran down {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {J-Clubs}, giving him the winning ace-high flush. He's doubled his way up to 350,000 now, leaving Scott with just 90,000.

Sebok Wins Another

Just moments after doubling up, Joe Sebok was back in action.

There was about 70,000 in the middle with the flop of {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}. Sebok checked and Ashley Cheung bet 183,000 all in. Sebok tanked for a few minutes and then made the call holding {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}. Cheung held {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and the river the {Q-Clubs} to give Sebok another big pot and move him up to 775,000. Cheung was eliminated on the hand.

Perry Doubles

Ed Perry was all in from middle position for 50,000. Adam Croffut called from the big blind. Perry held {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} and Croffut held {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs}.

The board ran out {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {K-Spades} and Perry doubled to 115,000. Croffut is down to 1.12 million.

Kara Scott Eliminated

Kara Scott
Kara Scott
After having her aces cracked just a few hands ago, Kara Scott came all in over the top of a raise from Paul Baron in the cut off. Baron called the 70,000 push from the short-stacked Scott.

Baron: {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Scott: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} giving Baron trip fives and the pot to eliminate Kara Scott.

* Kara is the only woman who cashed in both the ’08 and ’09 WSOP Main Event

Mol Mullered

Dreadfulness upon dreadfulness for Sven Mol, as he reraised all in with {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} and and was called by Ryan Gafford holding {A-Spades} {10-Spades}. All good...

Board: {9-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}

Not so good. Mol is out, while Gafford moves up to 885,000.

Recent Eliminations

Todd Hunter was eliminated after running his pocket jacks into the pocket aces of Wesley Ismay. Ismay is now up to 1,500,000.

Michael Castaldo also hit the rail when his {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} failed to improve against the pocket nines of Charles Wood.

Boyd Doubles

Craig Boyd raised to 25,000 to open the pot, and Rifat Palevic moved all in for 143,000. Boyd called with {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}, poised to eliminate Palevic and his {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}.

Palevic, however, would flop lucky as the dealer spread out {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. The {6-Hearts} on the turn and the river {4-Hearts} improved him to the ace-high flush, notching a double up to 305,000. Boyd is under a million now, sitting with 960,000.

ElkY Doubles Up With Aces

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
After starting the day with 1.4 million in chips, Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier had lost half his stack while at the feature table. However, after being dealt {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} he doubled through Tyler Patterson’s {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} in an all in preflop pot.

ElkY is back where he started with 1,400,000.

Action!

Just before the break, we picked up the action on the flop as the board showed {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. Joey Lawrence put out a bet of 61,000, and Robert Lee Preston made the call next door. The third player in the pot, Loic Degrou, moved all in for 405,000. Lawrence then moved all in with his big stack, and Preston called all in for his last 320,000 as well!

Showdown
Lawrence: {5-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}
Preston: {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}
Degrou: {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

With a massive pot up for grabs, the {8-Diamonds} hit the turn, vaulting Degrou into the lead and leaving Lawrence drawing dead. Preston would need the board to pair to stay alive, but the {7-Spades} that filled out the river was a blank. He's been sent home, Lawrence has slipped to 760,000, while Degrou nearly triples up to right around 1.2 million.
