Bubble Taking its Time
With just five minutes left until the dinner break, it looks as though it's going to be an uncomfortable 60 minutes for the shorter stacks - we're at 47 players right now, and the money is at 40...
Carlos Cut
Carlos Mortensen was recently crippled and then eliminated from today's event, much to the dismay of those in media row who have him in their WSOP fantasy teams!
Mortensen doubled up Edward Nilosek with all of Nilosek's last chips in on fifth street.
Nilosek: (
) / 
/ (
)
Mortensen: (
) / 
/ (
)
Nilosek made aces up to leave Mortensen with just 2,500 chips and he was eliminated shortly after.
Talebi Jacked Up
Carlos Mortensen: 
/ 
/ 
Rodeen Talebi: 
/ 
/
Rodeen Talebi was all in on fifth street, trailing with ace high against Carlos Mortensen's pair of sevens. However, Talebi binked a pair of jacks on seventh street to keep him in the game on 21,000. Mortensen meanwhile dropped right down to 15,000.
Chips For Trips
In a three-way pot, Vorakboth Eam, James Laird and Sorel Mizzi went to showdown. Laird raised on third and led the betting on fourth before all three players checked fifth street. Once again Laird fired sixth before Eam fired a bet on the river. Mizzi folded but Laird made the call.
Eam: (
) / 
Mizzi: (XXX) / 
Laird: (XXX) / 
Trip sevens for Eam was good for the pot as he moves up to 38,000. Mizzi has 60,000 with Laird at 50,000.
Turn It Up
Sorel Mizzi: (XX) /
James Laird: (XX) / - fold
Jon Turner: (XX) / 
We caught the action on fourth street, when Sorel Mizzi bet out and James Laird called. Jon Turner raised, only for Mizzi to reraise. Laird gave it up but Turner called.
Mizzi bet out again on fifth street and Turner flat-called. On sixth, with a pair of threes up, Turner bet out. Mizzi called.
Come seventh street, Turner bet out again. This time Mizzi folded, and was down to 43,000. Turner moved on up to 80,000.
Traniello Out
Marco Traniello has lost the battle with his short stack and was recently eliminated from the tournament.
Kings Anyone?
Mark Dickstein and Jim Geary started off on a similar note with both holding kings in the hole but it was Geary's kicker that was enough to scoop the pot as neither could make it to two pair.
Geary: () / 
/ ()
Dickstein: (
) / 
/ (
)
Geary led the betting and took it down to move up to 24,000 with Dickstein back down to 5,000.
It's Getting Cold In Here, So Take Out All Your Bets
There was some dissent on the floor, but it was quickly beaten down.
Pretty much a whole table - David Blatte, Said Elsanafiri, Erich Kollmann, Barbara Lewis, Hani Awad and Alex Kravchenko - all attempted to boycott the tournament owing to how incredibly cold it was at their table. Everyone except Lewis Lipsey refused to put their antes in, until the TD came over and told them they had to. It's a freezeout, after all.
BREAKING NEWS
Power to the people! The whole table has now been moved to somewhere a little further away from the air con vents. It was a brave TD who messed with Alex Kravchenko anyway, in our opinion.
Over at the next table, which is equally cold, players started to grumble.
Player 1: "Apparently we're not complaining enough."
Player 2, wearing an enormous parka jacket: "I'm fine."
Player 1: "Well you would be, you look like you're about to climb Everest. Hey can I buy that off you?"
Barnes Busto
Our eagle-eyed reporter on the floor just noticed that we had yet to lose a player today from table 316 which is one of the feature tables here in the Amazon Room. No sooner than he had spoken and Christopher Barnes was sent packing by Marco Traniello.
Barnes was all in by fifth street and his chips never returned as Traniello has fought back well from the short stack to now sit with around 15,000 chips.
