Yet to be a Showdown

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

The players seem to be adjusting to their new surroundings and taking in the spectacle that is the WSOP feature table; as such, play has been extremely tight the past ten minutes. As a matter of fact, we have yet to see a single showdown.

Level: 21

Limits: 20,000/40,000

Ante: 0

Cards Back in the Air

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

The remaining ten players have taken their seats at the feature table and the cards are back in the air. With so many notable names still remaining, the chairs here in the "Thunder Dome" are beginning to fill up.

Matt Hawrilenko Eliminated in 13th Place {$24,060)

Matt Hawrilenko
Matt Hawrilenko

After having doubled through Domenico Denotaristefani in the previous hand, Matt Hawrilenko was all in and at risk again the very next hand against the same opponent.

Board: {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

Hawrilenko: {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Denotaristefani: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Denotaristefani had flopped a set while Hawrilenko had turned top two. Hawrilenko would need a king or a nine on the river to survive.

The {5-Hearts} on the river was of no help to Hawrilenko and he was eliminated.

Chip Counts

"You're a Sick Man, Barry"

Barry Greenstein raised from early position on to face a three-bet from Isaac Haxton in the cutoff and a four-bet from Darren Woods in small blind. Greenstein called, as did Haxton, and it was three-handed to the {Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop. Woods led out, both his opponents called, and the {A-Clubs} appeared on the turn. Again Woods bet, Greenstein called, and Haxton folded.

Woods bet yet again on the {6-Diamonds} river and Greenstein quickly called. "You're a sick man, Barry," Woods said. "You got an ace?" he asked as he turned over {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

Sure enough, Greenstein flipped over {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for the winning hand. "I'm not sick. I had a reason," Greenstein said with a smile.

Will Anyone Bust?

Steve Landfish raised on the button and Hoyt Corkins called from the big blind. On the {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, Corkins led out and Landfish called. The action was the same when the {10-Spades} hit the turn except this time Corkins was all in.

Corkins: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Landfish: {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Landfish would need any seven, nine, jack or queen to eliminate Corkins. The river was the {10-Spades} to pair the board though and Corkins would survive as yet another short-stack doubled up.
