Waki Holds to Double

Level 4 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Mark Radoja opened the button to 8,000 only to have Yasuhiro Waki three-bet to 25,000 from the big blind. Radoja pushed a stack of 25,000-denomination chips into the pot and Waki called off his 119,000.

Radoja: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Waki: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

With Waki in dominating shape, the {7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} board would ensure his double to 239,000 as Radoja slipped back to 361,000 in chips.

As Waki was pushed the pot, he went on a celebratory rant running round the room before the Tournament Director issued him his last warning on excessive celebration.

Terry Pushes Out Young

Level 4 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jordan Young opened his button with an 8,000-chip min-raise only to have Todd Terry three-bet to 20,000. Young made the call, and when faced with a 22,000-chip bet on the {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop, he called that too.

With the dealer dropping the {8-Spades} on the river, Terry pushed for his last 107,000, and after a lengthy deliberation, Young folded.

Terry flashed his {10-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a semi-bluff as he raked in the pot to move to 192,000 in chips.

Alan Goehring - 19th Place

On a board reading {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Alan Goehring checked-called a 21,000 bet from Adam Junglen on the button.

The {10-Spades} river completed the board and Goehring again checked, prompting an all-in bet from Junglen. Goehring called off his remaining stack.

Goehring: {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Junglen: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

"Wow, there was no way for you to get away from that," Junglen said in surprise upon seeing the boat vs. boat cooler.

With that, Adam Junglen has advanced and will return to play at the final table tomorrow.

Level 4 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

With Erik Seidel still battling it out three-handed for a place on yet another WSOP final table, it truly is justification for his recent acceptance in the WSOP Poker Hall of Fame.

Consequently, we thought we should look at some of the previous inductees since 1979.

James Akenhead looking likely to advance
James Akenhead looking likely to advance

With the board reading {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Jeffrey Gross pushed out a 17,500-chip bet which James Akenhead called as the {7-Clubs} landed on the river.

Gross checked and Akenhead fired out 62,000 which Gross called.

"Ahhh, had it on the turn!" announced Gross as he tabled his {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} after Akenhead tabled his {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for a rivered king-high flush.

With that pot, Akenhead takes a commanding lead in the hand holding a better than five-to-one advantage on Gross.

Level 3 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Justin Bonomo - 21st Place
Justin Bonomo - 21st Place

Justin Bonomo found himself all in for roughly his last 55,000 with Nicolas Fierrogottner making the call.

Bonomo: {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Fierrogottner: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The flop of {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts} gave Bonomo outs to a flush, and when the {K-Spades} landed on the turn, he gained outs to a chop.

Unfortunately for Bonomo, the river landed the {8-Spades} to end his tournament in 21st place as Fierrogottner enters heads-up play with a near two-to-one advantage over Thorsten Schafer.
