Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
Cards are back in the air and they will play two more levels before bagging and tagging for the evening.
2012 World Series of Poker
Event 16: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em - Six-Handed
Day: 1
The Media Table
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
Currently seated directly in front of us are James Dempsey, Tristan Wade and Adam Junglen just joined the the table.
"Good luck making me fold," Dempsey said as he returned from the break. We don't expect his short stack to last much longer. It looks like it's either double up or bust out for Dempsey.
Esfandiari Out
We were unfortunately unable to catch the hand, however, we noticed Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari stand up from his table and wish his tablemates good luck. He has been eliminated.

Mizrachi Can't Connect
George Lind opened for 1,700, Michael Mizrachi raised to 4,500 and the player in the small blind moved all in after some thought he moved all in. Lind tanked for a little bit and then folded. Mizrachi asked for a count - it was 18,600 - and he called.
Small Blind: 
Mizrachi: 
The board ran 
and Mizrachi sent a bunch of his stack across the table.

Dempsey Eliminated by Wade
Our prediction concerning James Dempsey came true. He opened for 1,600, Tristan Wade raised to 3,800 and Dempsey shipped for about 20,000 more. Wade called and tabled pocket tens. Dempsey held pocket fours and Wade's hand held.

Blom Busts a Shorty
A player went all-in from under-the-gun for his last 2,100. Action folded around to Viktor Blom on the button, who called. The blinds got out of the way and hands were revealed.
Blom: 
Opponent: 
The 
board left Blom with a pair of eights, which was good enough to scoop the pot and eliminate his opponent.
Blom's stack has been slowly but surely climbing throughout the day. He is up to 65,000.
