Moorman Crippled

Chris Moorman was crippled when he lost with {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} to {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} before he managed to somehow more than treble with {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} against {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} on a {9-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} to survive. This was much to the hilarity of James Dempsey who found it highly amusing that Chris Moorman might have to come back after the 90 minute dinner break with just over one big blind...

The Other Thunder Dome

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

It's hard to find noteworthy action in a field of this size, but we do notice the chatter as we walk in between the tables.

There was a large rumble of thunder here inside the Pavilion a few minutes ago, and word is spreading on Twitter about a downpour outside. We've seen a few players dash out the door to catch a peek, while nearly everyone else inside the room is talking about this first shower of the 2011 WSOP. It's doing good work knocking down some of the smoke from nearby wildfires that's been hanging in the Las Vegas air today.

Brenes Flips One Out

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

A player in middle position got himself all in for 1,725, and Humberto Brenes reraised to 10,000, isolating himself against the at-risk player. They were flipping.

Showdown
Brenes: {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

The board ran out safe for the sharkballs, coming {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {3-Hearts} to give Brenes the knockout. He's up to about 20,000 now, and he's all smiles over there in the White section.

(Nothing But) Flowers

Across at Randal Flowers' table, they were waiting for a ruling. A short-stack had moved all in for 2,125 with a call behind and with the dealer wanting to make sure on whether Flowers had moved all in or just called. The dealer had not been sure on whether Flowers' bet had been one or two separate actions but Flowers himself was adamant it was the former.

Satisfied, the floorman ruled in Flowers' favour and, the caller of the short stack's all in also called Flowers all in.

Flowers showed {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} to the caller's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and the short stack's {6-Spades}{5-Spades}, the board coming {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Flowers is up to a chunky 20,000 now.

What's a Fold Equity?

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

We walked up to a {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {6-Spades} {8-Hearts} board just in time to see Maxim Lykov putting out a bet of 1,125 into a pot of about 3,000. He was heads-up, and his opponent tanked and raised to put Lykov to the decision for the 1,600 chips he had left behind. He didn't waste much time calling, and his opponent said, "I can't win."

Lykov turned up {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, and jacks up earns him the double-up to about 8,800.
