Keratsopoulos KO'd

Philipp Gruissem opened to 14,500 and both James Adams and Terence Keratsopoulos made the call.

The flop fell down {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Keratsopoulos moved all in for 44,800 as Gruissem passed, only to have Adams make the call.

Keratsopoulos: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Adams: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The turn landed the {K-Clubs} to give Adams a straight and leaving Keratsopoulos needing to pair the board to stay alive.

Unfortunately for Keratsopoulos, the river peeled the {7-Diamonds} to see him head to the rail as Adams climbed to 210,000 in chips.

Basketball What?

"Yes!"

"C'mon Celts!"

"Whoo hooo!"

These are just some of the noises being unleashed by the players - and many spectators - that are still alive in Event #30.

It's not due to a bad beat or a lucky river, but some basketball game between a yellow side and a green side.

We believe it's a semi-important game . . . but are not quite sure . . .

Get back in your seats and play some poker!

Wilson Spikes River

William Wilson called an opponent's all in holding {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} to be in a classic race against {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

The {5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop gave Wilson a sweat with a flush draw to now go along with his two overs.

The turn of the {4-Diamonds} changed little, but it would be the {k-Clubs} on the river to see Wilson soaring to 140,000 while also eliminating an opponent.
