Jensen Potted
![[user80015]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Facing a raise to 8,500, Frederik Jensen moved all in for his last 67,800 and was quickly isolated by Joseph Potts for his last 75,000. The original raiser folded, and we were off to a showdown.
Jensen: 
Potts: 
The board ran out a rather undramatic 
to see Jensen eliminated as Potts climbs to 150,000 in chips.
Scott Becomes a Free Man
Despite boasting a 0.75 million in live tournament winnings, Scott Freeman won't be adding a bracelet to his resume. He's been eliminated from today's event and will take home $3,845 for his efforts.
Out of the Woods
An interesting hand just played out on table 371.
Grant Woods has been MIA for the majority - if not all - of today's tournament.
Slowly being blinded away, Woods was eventually all in for his ante and also placed in the big blind.
The table folded to Roland De Wolfe who tabled his 
to have a slight advantage of Woods' 
.
The board however ran out 
to see De Wolfe lose the pot to Woods.
This when the trouble began.
The Tournament Director was called over to discuss whether Woods' hand was live or not, and if De Wolfe should have been pushed the pot since Woods was absent from his chair.
The final ruling was that since Woods' hand was tabled to be live he was warranted the pot for the amount he was all in for. The next ruling was that when this situation arose again, Woods hand should be automatically mucked.
A few hands later Woods found himself all in once again for an ante, but following the Tournament Director's instructions, he hit the rail.

Bruce Almighty
Stephen Chidwick passed his cards over one another in the hypnotic way he always does when he's awaiting an opponent's decision. This time, the ball was in Steven Bruce's court, his open from middle position raised to 21,000 (unless he was all in and didn't bother to push the shrapnel) by Chidwick in the big blind.
"Sorry about this," apologized Bruce to the table as he continued to dwell. "It's OK," relieved a table mate, "We've got six hours and none of us want to go anywhere."
Soon after, Bruce took a deep breath and announced all-in with 
. Chidwick held 
.
After the commonplace good luck wishes, the dealer rolled out a 
flop, followed by a turn, before, finally, a testicle-crunching 
river.
Chidwick nodded his head in defeat and immediately slid over his remaining pyramid of black chips, which amounted to around 25,000.
Bruce, meanwhile, began reconstructing his stack, and although it was currently in ruins, a rough guess would be that it would eventually transform into a neatly designed structure of 150,000.
Ryan Exits
Rich Ryan moved roughly his last 20,000 into the pot and found action from an opponent in the blinds.

The board ran out 
to see Ryan eliminated from his maiden WSOP tournament.
Busch Misses the Mark
We're back, full-stomached and raring to go, but during the break we learned of a big pot that resulted in the premature demise of Mark Busch.
Moving all in from the cut-off with 
, Busch was given some extra value when the button called and the big blind, Ronald Chaves, moved all in for 122,00 more.
After the button side-stepped out of the way, Busch asked, "Do you jacks by any chance?" Ronald tabled .
Board: 
Chaves' knaves held up meaning he is now up to 225,000.
