Scott Weissman is an amateur player from Miami, Florida with one major cash for $2,910. He decided to late register today and is sitting in Seat 4 at Table 108.
His tablemates you ask?
Lex "RaSZi" Veldhuis, Alexand Kravchenko, Andy Bloch, JC Tran and Ashton Griffin. We'd count their career earnings but we don't have that many fingers.
Welcome to the World Series of Poker Mr. Weissman!
Late registration is apparently for the cool kids.
In Level 3 we've spotted newcomers like Daniel Negreanu, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Phil Hellmuth, Chau Giang and Phil Ivey.
A short-stacked player raised to 350 from middle position and the action folded to Johannes Steindl in the big blind. After examining the original raiser's stack, Steindl grabbed a large stack of T500 chips and moved all in for effectively 2,100. His opponent snapped it off.
Showdown
Steindl: 
Opponent: 
The flop fell 
, no help for Steindl, but the 
brought a gut-shot draw. The river blanked with the 
though, and Steindl slipped down to 12,200 chips.
Andrew 'luckychewy' Lichtenberger opened to 300 from the cutoff only to have the big blind three-bet to 650.
Lichtenberger moved all in for 3,025 and his opponent double-fist-pump-snap-called.
Lichtenberger: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
to see Lichtenberger bumped from the tournament.
Unfortunately Vanessa Rousso, Annie Duke and Allen Cunningham have both recently been eliminated from the tournament.
Also joining them on the rail is Brock Parker who will be unable to defend his title this year.
On a board of 
and the pot sitting around the 2,500-chip mark, Jerry Yang check-raised to 4,000 over an opponent's 1,300-chip bet.
Yang made the call when his opponent moved all in for an additional 1,000 and tabled his 
for the nuts as his opponent rolled over jus 
.
The river landed the meaningless and Yang eliminated his opponent to move to around the 18,000-chip mark.
On one of the last hands of the previous levels, Eddy Sabat found a virtual double to 16,000 in chips.
On a Queen-high flop Sabat found himself all in with against an opponent who called all in for less holding just bottom pair.
The turn landed a second queen to see the pot locked for Sabat as he raked in the pot.
