Adam Bilzerian raised to 30,000 from mid-position and Alex Jalale made the call from the small blind before Matthew Waxman pushed all in from the big blind.

Bilzerian called and Jalale folded, Waxman showed {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} but he was outflopped by Bilzerian's {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} after an {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {4-Spades} {Q-Clubs} board.

Huge pot between Nick Brancato and Gabe Walls after the former was all in with {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} against Walls' {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. The board came {2-Spades} {8-Spades} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} to make Walls' two pair, knocking out Brancato.

Walls has 1.4 million now.

Keysey! Keysey! Keysey!

Many of us at PokerNews will never forget the exuberance of James Keys' cheering section when he made the final table of the 2007 WSOP-Europe Main Event after qualifying online. "Keysey! Keysey! Keysey!" was their beer-soaked clarion call whenever their boy took down a pot.

Were they here today, their cheers would no doubt be brightening up the room at the moment, as Keys just scored a key double-up.

Keys opened for 20,000 from middle position and Huub Verdonschot reraised to 60,000. Keys shoved for an additional 117,000 and Verdonschot made the call, having him substantially covered.

Keys {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Verdonschot {8-Spades} {7-Spades}

Keys hit top pair on the flop, the board running out {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} to double him up to 290,000. Verdonschot was left with 548,000.

John Bunch Eliminated

John Bunch was all in before the flop with {A-Spades} {9-Spades} against Fabrice Soulier's {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} .

The board came {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} allowing Soulier's ten kicker to play, eliminating Bunch from the tournament. Souiler moves to 525,000.

Soulier is one of at least four French players doing well in this Main Evnet, along with David Benyamine, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, and Ludovic Lacay.

Live Poker Is Rigged

A three-way monster all in...

Don Tran: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}
David Hong: {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}
Josh Chait: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

Board: {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}

That {5-Diamonds} on the end was juuuussst enough for Hong's {6-Diamonds} to play, and he won the whole lot, putting him up to 350,000. Tran is still just fine on 435,000, but Chait is scraping the felt on a mere 40,000.
