Chris Viox Eliminated in 15th Place ($7,135)

Chris Viox
Chris Viox

Chirs Viox brought it in with a {K-} and Gerald Ringe completed with {5-}. Brendan Taylor made the call as did Viox, and then Taylor fired out after taking the lead on the turn. Ringe and Viox called, with the latter committing the rest of his chips. Another bet by Taylor on fifth street drove Ringe from the hand and the cards were tabled.

Taylor: {A-}{9-} / {2-}{Q-}{4-}{6-} / {8-}
Viox: (x-x) / {K-}{10-}{9-}(x) / (x)

Viox realized he was in bad shape, and after sixth street he knew he was drawing dead. He mixed up his cards so that we weren't able to piece together what he had, but the result was the same. Viox has been eliminated in 15th place and will take home $7,135 for his efforts.

Dan O'Brien Eliminated in 16th Place ($7,135)

Dan O'Brien (Day 2) - eliminated.
Dan O'Brien (Day 2) - eliminated.

Dan O'Brien: {x-}{x-} / {8-}{6-}{q-}
David Rosenau: {x-}{x-} / {5-}{3-}{k-}

Scott Abrams brought it in with a {k-}, O'Brien called with an {8-}, and Rosenau completed with a {5-}. The action folded back to O'Brien, who called. O'Brien called another bet on fourth street, then led out on fifth. Rosenau raised, and O'Brien was all in. The cards were opened.

O'Brien: {a-}{5-}
Rosenau: {10-}{2-}

O'Brien paired on sixth when he was dealt an {a-}, and Rosenau improved to a ten-nine with a {9-}. Rosenau caught a queen on seventh, and we missed O'Brien's card because he quickly mucked. He obviously couldn't beat Rosenau's hand though, and is our 16th-place finisher in Event 18.

"Slow Down Over There"

Just before Level 20 began, Barry Greenstein and Brendan Taylor were heads up heading to fourth street.

Greenstein{x-}{x-} / {7-}{9-}{3-}
Taylor{x-}{x-} / {2-}{7-}{4-}

Taylor led out on fourth, Greenstein called, and Taylor led again on fifth. Greenstein tanked a bit before folding, and Taylor raked in another pot,

"Slow down over there," Michael Chow said after the hand.

Taylor smiled. "I couldn't win a pot over at the other table."

Taylor Takes a Bite Out of the Pi Master

After the {K-} brought it in, Chris Viox just called with his {3-}. Brendan Taylor then completed, the bring-in folded and Viox came along for the ride. Viox proceeded to check-call a bet on the turn before calling Taylor's bet on fifth. The latter continued to bet on sixth and seventh, with Viox calling both streets.

Taylor: (x-x) / {4-}{8-}{2-}{J-} / (x) ({7-}{6-}{5-})
Viox: (x){2-} / {3-}{8-}{Q-}{A-} / (Ax}

Taylor's 7-6-5-4-2 was good enough to take down the pot and leave Viox with just a stack of 48,000.

Chris "Fox" Wallace Eliminated in 17th Place ($5,904)

Chris Wallace - eliminated.
Chris Wallace - eliminated.

Chris "Fox" Wallace: {x-}{x-} / {8-}{9-}{7-}
Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {a-}{8-}{7-}

When we reached the table, Wallace and Hellmuth were heads up on fifth street, and after a series of bets and raises, Wallace was all in.

Wallace: {4-}{2-}
Hellmuth: {7-}{5-}

Both players bricked on sixth - Wallace was dealt a {10-}, which didn't improve his hand, and Hellmuth paired his {8-}. On seventh street, as a courtesy, Hellmuth flipped his down card face up. Unfortunately for Wallace, it was a {3-}, giving Hellmuth an eighty-seven low, and the best hand.

Wallace's down card was a {j-}, and he was eliminated from the tournament. Congratulations to Fox, who is the author of a daily blog about the WSOP and other happenings in poker. A 17th-place finish at the WSOP and $5,904 is nothing to scoff at.
