Another member of the media just came over and provided us some details on a laugher of a pot over on Table 17. Steve O'Dwyer got his ~7,000 remaining chips into the pot pretty bad on a flop of 
. He held 
, and his opponent had snapped him off with 
.
Another 
on the turn opened up a few possibilities for O'Dwyer, and the dealer wasn't done helping yet. Another on the river improved him to the unlikely full house, shipping him the pot and doubling him up to about 15,000.
A player opened the pot with a 2,000-chip bet in middle position and Danny Estes re-popped it to 8,000. The initial raiser went all in and Estes called.
Showdown:
Estes:
Opponent: 
Board: 
and Estes takes a hit, knocking him down to 46,000.
Michael Binger has just been knocked out after getting his chips in with ace-king before the flop. An opponent called with pocket fours, and a board full of blanks ends Binger's day right there.
Tom Schneider has just eliminated a player who tangled with him preflop. The unknown (and now irrelevant) player opened to 2,100, and Schneider re-potted it. His opponent came back over the top with an all-in shove for about 8,000, and Schneider made the call with the covering chips.
Showdown
Schneider:
Opponent: 
Board: 
That's no help for the overcards, and that's a knockout pot to move the Donkey Bomber up to 22,000.
Humberto Brenes raised to 1,600, and he called an all-in reraise from a short-stacked opponent. The at-risk player tabled , and Brenes was racing for the knockout with 
.
The board ran out a counterfeit-y 
, and three pair is not so good for Brenes. He's given his opponent a double up, slipping to 13,000 in the process.
Joe Serock opened the pot with a raise to 1,200 on the button, and he got called by the player in the small blind.
Flop: 
and both players checked.
Turn: 
Serock bet out 1,800 chips after his opponent checked the action. He got called.
River: both players checked and Serock tabled taking the pot.
Serock is now up to 12,000 chips.
All the chips went in preflop and the Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis was facing the elimination.
Showdown:
Lex Veldhuis:
Opponent: 
Board: 
and the Team PokerStars Pro is out of the tournament.
A few delicious chip counts for dessert.
