Watch Out for that Tran

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Adam Latimer opened with a raise to 36,000 from the cutoff, and Thai Tran reraised to 101,000 from the button. The blinds got out, then Latimer repopped it to 236,000. Tran responded by shoving all in, his stack well covering Latimer's. Latimer gave it a deep think, then let it go.

Latimer has 825,000 now, while Tran is up to 1.91 million.

Dan Bilzerian Eliminated

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dan Bilzerian was living on borrowed time ever since Day 3. Bilzerian started Day 3 among the top twenty in the counts, then fell throughout the day until he was all in with pocket jacks against Jamie Brown's pocket aces. One jack was already dead, but that didn't stop Bilzerian from finding the case jack on the flop.

Bilzerian's borrowed time has finally run out. He moved all in preflop with {A-Hearts}

and was called by Jonathan Tamayo's pocket tens. Bilzerian couldn't repeat his earlier magic, becoming the 180th place finisher on a board of {8-Clubs}

.

Dan's brother Adam remains in the hunt.

Anh Van Nguyen raised to 38,000 from middle position and then Mike Minetti reraised to 100,000 from later position. Action got back over to Nguyen and he reraised enough to put Minetti all in. Minetti made the all-in call after only a brief moment.

Minetti held {A-Hearts}

against Nguyen's pocket kings, {K-Spades}

.

The board ran out {5-Clubs}

and that was it for Minetti.

Eastgate Surrenders

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

On one of the very first hands of the day, reigning WSOP Main Event champion Peter Eastgate bet 70,000 on a three-way flop of {10-Spades}

. He was called by the player on the button, Ben Lamb.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}

, causing Eastgate to slow down with a cautious check. Lamb eyed Eastgate's stack briefly before betting 160,000. Eastgate couldn't fold his cards faster than he did.

A Good Start for Jensen

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Benjamin Jensen was almost at the very bottom of the counts to start the day, a spot we like to call the Dank Position. However he now has twice as many chips as he started Day 6 with. After Ryan Hart opened from middle position with a raise, Jensen jammed all in. Hart called with {A-Clubs}
