Mercier and Herring Exit

Heath Herring found himself all in against Jason Mercier and a third player.

Herring: {K-}{K-}
Mercier: {10-}{10-}
Opponent: {Q-}{Q-}

Unfortunately for Mercier and Herring, the river would spike a third queen to end both Herring and Mercier's tournament.

Solomon Wins Battle of Pot-Limit Hold'em Experts-ish

Jarred Solomon (earlier in the WSOP)
Jarred Solomon (earlier in the WSOP)

On a flop of {6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{K-Spades}, we found Andrew Cohen firing out a continuation-bet of 850 into a pot of roughly a little over 1,000.

His lone opponent in the hand - Jarred Solomon - slid out a check-raise from the big blind amounting to 1,775, but when the action returned to Cohen in the cutoff, he made it 3,875.

The South African Solomon instantly moved all in for 10,475, and after two minutes in the tank, Cohen angled his cards to the muck.

Both players have made deep runs already this series with Solomon finishing in second place in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship, while Cohen finished in tenth place in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em event.

Some Updated Chip Counts

Aguiar's Agression Pays Off

Jonathan Aguiar raised preflop in middle position to 525, and an opponent on the button called. The players went heads up to a flop of {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. Aguiar bet out 600, and his opponent called again. On the turn, the {5-Hearts}, both players checked, and the river came the {q-Spades}. Aguiar bet out 1,600, and his opponent gave his hand up. Aguiar has built up quite the stack, and is amongst our chip leaders as we approach the dinner break.

Karr Chips Up

With all the money going in on the turn with the board reading {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}, Mclean Karr was in unbeatable shape with his {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} up against his opponent's {A-}{K-}.

The river landed the meaningless {Q-Diamonds} to see Karr climb to 22,400 in chips.

Tryba Holds For A Double Up

Over at Chris Tryba's table, he has just doubled up after getting his money in in a dominating position preflop. A middle position player made it 400, and the player in the hijack called. Tryba squeezed by going all in from the cutoff for 3,250, and the button went all in from the button for 4,450. The other two players folded, and the players tabled their cards.

Tryba: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Button:{a-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and Tryba scored the double up.

Black is Where It's At

Here are the chip counts from players in the black section.

Eslami Triples Up

We didn't catch the hand, but we heard a brief recap of what happened after. Ali Eslami and Fatima Moreira De Melo both were all in preflop, as well as another player, who's stack was between Eslami's and De Melo's.

De Melo: {j-}{j-}
Eslami: {a-}{j-}
Opponent: {k-}{k-}

The flop came ace high, and Eslami took the main pot to triple up. The other player's kings held up, and De Melo lost out on everything, dropping her down to 3,125.
