Thorpe Crippled By Parker

We caught up to see Brock Parker lead out on the river against Mike Thorpe. Thorpe raised and Parker quickly tossed out a three-bet. Thorpe was clearly upset by this bet, but called anyway. Parker tabled {Q-Spades}{8-Spades} for a flush, catching his fifth spade on the river.

Thorpe showed a {5-}, making the wheel on the turn and flung his cards away. Since then Thorpe has been able to double up a few times, but is still on life support.

Heads-Up on Oh-Seven Continues

When we arrived at Table 407, there was a flop showing {10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Brian Mienders and Chad Layne were busy continuing their heads-up battle. Meinders lead on the flop and Layne raised it up as a {8-Diamonds} hit the turn. This time Meinders would check-call a bet and then do the same when the {4-Clubs} hit the river. When Layne table his {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}, it was enough to take down the pot and pick up some much needed chips.

Despite taking down that pot, Layne's stack has been bleeding chips as Meinders is still edging closer to the final table.

Shiu Leading Table 404

We caught up to table 404 to see Matt Matros raise from the button. Millie Shiu called from the small blind and Preston Derden decided to tag along from the big.

The flop fell {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} and all three players checked. Fourth street brought the {Q-Clubs} and two players checked to Matros who fired out a bet. Shiu folded and Derden called. The {K-Diamonds} completed the board and Derden checked to Matros for a third time. Matros bet out and Derden called.

"I've got a king," said Matros, showing {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Derden looked remarkably peeved that Matros caught the king on the river and sent his hand sailing to the muck.

Despite winning this pot, three-time bracelet winner Matt Matros is trailing behind table chip leader Millie Shiu.
