We caught up with the action due to the commotion happening over at table #359. Three players moved their entire stack all in before the flop. One was holding while another had tabled in front of him. These two players were up against a very scared player who held . The player holding queens hoped to hit one of his two outs, and even picked up more outs after the flop fell . Unfortunately for him, the turn and river were and and he was sent packing to the rail, leaving his chips to be chopped up by the two players with pocket rockets.
A player opened for 800 in the cutoff and action folded to Barry Shulman in the big blind, who three-bet to 2,000. His opponent quickly cut out a four-bet to 4,500 and tossed it into the middle. Shulman, almost as quickly, called.
The flop came and Shulman checked, prompting a 5,200 bet from his opponent. Shulman took one last look at his cards and sent them into the muck.
By the turn, there was about 8,000 in the middle, with the board reading . Vince Van Patten, sitting in the nine seat, tossed out a bet of 6,000, and his opponent, sitting on the other side of the dealer in Seat 1, quickly called.
The river brought the , and Van Patten again acted quickly, this time tossing nine yellow chips a bit haphazardly for a bet of 9,000. His opponent paused, counted through her remaining stack, and let her hand go.
Van Patten showed his hand as he dragged the pot -- . Perhaps he's looking to make his opponent tilt like a three-legged barstool.
We caught up with the action heads up on a flop where James Dempsey in early position check-called a bet of 2,750 fairly quickly from a player in middle position. On the turn, Dempsey checked again and his opponent fired 9,500. Dempsey proceeded to go into the tank and just stared at the board for a good five minutes as he shuffled some chips. Eventually, he softly pushed his cards towards the muck and dropped to below the starting stack.
Brett Richey had been nursing a short stack for much of the day, and as we walked back over to his section, we noticed that his seat was empty. We saw on his twitter that his pocket queens were defeated by two opponent's flush draws when the draw made it on the river, eliminating him from the event and ending his 2011 WSOP
In case you're wondering about how Snow White -- a.k.a. Richard Wyrick -- is doing, he's currently sitting with about 22,000 chips.
Word is that Wyrick, who finished 27th in the 2006 WSOP Main Event for a nearly half-million dollar score -- felt as though things weren't going too well during the pre-dinner levels and thought a change of outfit might lead to better fortune.
A while ago Wyrick was given an apple, although if we're remembering the story correctly he may not want to take a bite.
Three players saw a flop that was checked around. On the turn, Dan Fleyshman led for 1,075 from the small blind and the big blind called behind him. The middle position player left in the hand folded as the came on the river. Fleyshman checked this time and the big blind bet 2,150. After some though, Fleyshman check-raised to 8,000 straight. The big blind asked Fleyshman how much he had before he folded as Fleyshman moved across the starting stack once again.
