Kling Drops The Hammer
We found a player raise to 1,325 and the action folded around to Lauren Kling on the button. Kling counted out chips and threw in a raise, making it 3,150 to go. Action folded back to the original raiser and he tanked for about a minute before throwing away his cards and awarding the pot to Kling.

The Frankenberger Twitter Saga
Last year's champion of this event and now two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Andy Frankenberger is still alive and fighting in this tournament. If you happened to miss it, Frankenberger recently defeated poker legend Phil Ivey heads up in Event 17: $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em to earn his second WSOP bracelet.
Frankenberger sent out two tweets as of late explaining his current situation in this event where he is the reigning champion.
AMFrankenberger Andy Frankenberger Short stacked after losing a few flips and getting rivered. Softest table ever, some cards could go a looooong way.
