PokerStars Team Pro Humberto Brenes just informed us that this is his 57th World Series of Poker cash, putting him at 7th place on the All Time WSOP Cashes list.
He's behind Berry Johnston, TJ Cloutier, Erik Seidel, Chris Ferguson, Men Nguyen, and Phil Hellmuth, who is currently at the final table of Event #41: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-low Split-8 or Better, going for his 12th WSOP bracelet. You can catch up on Event #41 action here.

The board ran out to see Madsen eliminated from the tournament as Lytle climbs to 57,000 in chips.
With around 25,000 in the pot and the flop spread Michael Swick checked as Joanne Dorin fired out 10,000.
Mike Sowers made the call as Michael Finstein bumped it to 40,000. Swick folded, as did Dorin, before Sowers made the call to see the land on the turn.
Sowers checked to Finstein who opted to move all in for his last 110,000 with Sowers making the call.

Sowers:
With Finstein in great shape to double with his bottom set, he would unfortunately see the land on the river to send him crashing to the rail as Sowers soars to 515,000 in chips.
