Haxton Hanged

Isaac Haxton was having a great afternoon of poker and that seemingly continued into the evening. However it has now all come to an end in 39th place. We missed his elimination, but can see what was mostly likely his chips being raked in to the player directly across from where he sat. For those interested, this was in fact Haxton's seventh cash at this year's World Series of Poker.

Back for Two

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The players are back from their break and ready to play just two more levels before wrapping it up for the night. While we expect plenty more eliminations, it is very doubtful we will get even close to the final table that we hoped for.

Level: 20

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Ante: 1,000

Boujenah Bashes Up his Stack, Literally

Illan Boujenah is a very talented poker player with over $1 million in tournament winnings. He has a dark side to his character though, and that came out just now.

He was involved in a pot with Jeffrey Manza and the two had reached the river of a {3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts} board. Manza set Boujenah all in, and after two minutes he called.

Manza opened pocket nines for a rivered full-house that beat Boujenah's pocket tens. When Boujenah was told by a fellow player that he folded a nine, meaning he was one outed on the river, he reacted by splashing his chips all over the table and storming off.

Next Round of Eliminations

These players have busted late into this level.

Clements Clipped

When we arrived at Scott Clements' table, there was a board showing {5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs} and Clements was first to act against one opponent. Clements tapped the table with a check and his opponent bet 35,000. At this point there was around 80,000 already in the pot and Clements thought for just a short while before making the call. When the player tabled his {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}, Clements threw his cards into the muck and a portion of his chips in the opposite direction.

Another Big Stack Emerges

Jia Liu is the latest player to see his stack near 500,000 in chips. Liu has one World Series of Poker cash on his record already, so this makes it two. Of course, he will be looking to do better than that here and so far, so good.

Farrell Gets There to Double

You're fairly short, the action folds to you in late position, and you see an ace; what do you do? All in, baby!

Dwight Farrell was in this situation and that's exactly what he did with his {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for 78,500. He was called by the small blind holding {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and the board ran {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}.
