Rich Getting Poorer

Jordan Rich raised to 1,500, and only the big blind called. The flop fell {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, and the big blind bet out 2,500. Rich flatted quickly. The big blind continued with a 3,000-chip bet on the {4-Spades} turn, and Rich called again. After the {j-Hearts} river put four to a straight on the board, the big blind opted to check. Rich tossed 5,000 at the scare card, but his opponent called with a shrug. "Good call," said Rich immediately. He could only shake his head and sigh when the big blind turned up {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} to take the pot. Rich is down to 28,000.

Former Main Event Champ Down

Tom McEvoy
Tom McEvoy

We're not sure of the hand, but Tom McEvoy, who had been nursing a short stack for quite some time, was recently eliminated. McEvoy won the Main Event back in 1983 and became the first person to win who had gained entry via a satellite.

McEvoy, who is among the leading candidates for the Poker Hall of Fame, also won the 2009 WSOP Champions Invitational; unfortunately, he will not become a two-time Main Event champion this year.

Neilson Nipped By Hougaard

Jesper Hougaard opened to 1,400 from early position and was met with one caller before Daniel Neilson bumped it 5,100 from the small blind.

With the action back on Hougaard, he four-bet the action to 12,000 to force the cold-caller out before Neilson committed his 24,100 total with Hougaard making the call.

Neilson: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Hougaard: {Js]{9-Spades}

The {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} put Hougaard in front, and when the {J-Hearts} landed on the turn, it kept him in a stronger position to knock out Neilson.

The river fell the {A-Hearts} to see Hougaard collect the pot to move to 176,500 as the Australian made his way to the rail.

Devilfish Talking The Talk

David "Devilfish" Ulliott raised it up to 1,600 and found one call in the small blind to see a flop of {8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The small blind checked to Ulliott who fired 2,000. His opponent made the call and the {7-Clubs} hit the turn.

The small blind checked and Ulliott fired 3,500. His opponent then check-raised to 11,000. Ulliott mumbled away and verbalized something along the lines of knowing his opponent had a ten and that he was folding ace-queen.

His opponent showed the {7-Hearts} as Ulliott continued to chatter away with some sort of reference to showing his opponent the exit. Ulliott is at 87,000.

Chan showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, having turned a king-high straight and rivered Broadway. The big blind mucked and Chan took his stack up to 145,000.
