Le Doubles Up Through Musso

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Vince Musso opened the betting by raising to 5,000. Name Le pushed his remaining stack all in for roughly 9,000 total. Musso made the call and they both drew one.

Musso: {10-}{9-}{7-}{3-}
Le: {10-}{9-}{3-}{2-}

Musso flipped over his drawn card first, tabling an {8-}. Sadly for Musso, that was behind the {6-} that Nam Le pulled and Le doubled up to about 23,000.

Negreanu Felted

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

We missed most of the action on the hand, but we do know that Greg Raymer just eliminated Daniel Negreanu. Negreanu drew one card, and we honestly don't know whether Raymer drew or not. We'd guess not, but either way, his hand showed {j-}{10-}{5-}{4-}{2-}

Negreanu was working with {9-}{5-}{3-}{2-}, but he couldn't draw well at all, pairing his {9-} to seal his fate. He's out with less than 50 players left, but Team PokerStars Pro still has three representatives in the field. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, David Williams, and Jason Mercier are all still in contention, and they're all seated together over there at Table 287.

Schulman Scoops a Pot

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

From under the gun, Huck Seed made it 5,000 to go. Nick Schulman made the call as did Dan O'Brien from the big blind. O'Brien and Seed both drew one while Schulman stood pat.

O'Brien fired out a bet of 14,200 and Seed quickly mucked. Schulman called and flipped up {9-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-} which was good enough to scoop the pot.

Benyamine Busto

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Under the gun, David Benyamine raised, and Alex Balandin reraised to 12,000. Benyamine shoved for 38,200, and Balandin made the call with the covering stack. He took one card, while Benyamine stood pat with his {10-}{8-}{4-}{3-}{2-}

Balandin showed {9-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, and he snagged a {5-} to make the best low and send Benyamine off with about 55 players left.

British Civil War

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Richard Ashby made it 4,000 to go, and James Bord three-bet to 11,000. Ashby shoved on him, and Bord quickly called all in for about 30,000 total.

Ashby patted, and he had been dealt {9-}{8-}{7-}{4-}{2-}. Bord needed one card, but his {9-}{8-}{3-}{2-} was drawing live. He pulled a {j-}, though, and it's the jack of doom. The defending WSOP-E Main Event champion is out, and Ashby climbs to about 92,000.

Williams Works in a Double Up

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Mike Matusow raised to 4,100 from the hijack only to find David Williams drop the rest of his stack in the middle. Matusow pondered before finally calling the 29,200 more. Matusow drew one while Williams stood pat, tabling {J-}{9-}{8-}{6-}{3-}.

Matusow flipped up his {7-}{5-}{3-}{2-} and kept his last card down. Finally he peeled it up and dejectedly threw a {Q-} on the table. Williams scooped the pot and doubled up to over 70,000
