Lisandro Out, 29 Remain
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
For a while at Table 433 it appeared as though Ayman Qutami would be the next to leave us, his stack having become depleted down under 10,000.
But five-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro's stack had gotten low as well, and soon enough he was up out of his chair, watching as his 
was failed to improve against Hans Minocha's 
when the board came 
. Having made the pay jump, Lisandro earned $4,912 for his 30th-place finish.
Chan Continues to Befuddle Wilder
Terrence Chan just seems to have the hoodoo over Harrison Wilder. He has won yet another pot from him which takes Chan to the 250,000 mark, extending his lead at the top.
We caught the action on a flop of 
and Wilder was calling a Chan raise out of the small blind. The turn card was the 
and Wilder check-called a Chan bet. Fifth street was dealt and it was the 
. Wilder decided to bet and for a moment it slowed Chan down. Then after a momentary pause Chan's interest piqued and he made the call - a good call.

One, Two For Lisandro
With 5 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets to his name, Jeff Lisandro, is without doubt the most experienced of the remaining thirty-one players. Interestingly, despite Lisandro being a talented mixed game player, none of those 5 bracelets have come in Limit Hold'em. With 1 final table already sealed in this years series, the man is on form, so who knows, maybe 2012 is the year Lisandro bags a Limit Hold'em title?
Lisandro raised on the button and Joep van den Bijgaart three-bet from the small blind. Lisandro made the call and the pair of them shared the 
flop. Bijgaart fired once, and then twice at the sight of the 
on the turn. Lisandro didn't budge and took each hit before returning a silo of his own on the river 
and van den Bijgaart folded immediately.
Then Lisandro opened up from the cutoff and Michael Parizan defended the big blind. Parizan called just one bet (flop) on a board of 
and Lisandro won the pot holding seven high!

John Hennigan Eliminated in 31st Place
John Hennigan had a punishing level and has been eliminated in 31st place. Johnny World lost a big pot to Marco Johnson — who made a flush on the river — and was unable to recover. Hennigan almost snuck out of the Amazon Room before getting his payout slip, but the tournament staff ran him down.

Douglas Done
Zach Clark just claimed the last of Shane Douglas' stack, knocking the latter out in 32nd place. The next shortest stack at the moment appears to belong to John Hennigan who has slipped to about 12,000 — i.e., three big bets.
There are 20 minutes until the end of Level 14 and the dinner break.

Maria, Maria
Maria Ho is eyeing her second WSOP final table in as many years here in Event #40. Last year, Ho finished second to Allen Bari in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $540,020.
Now, after taking a pile of chips from Ryan D'Angelo moments ago, Ho sits third overall on the leaderboard behind Terrence Chan and Michael Senter. Can she make another push for her first gold bracelet? Stay tuned...

Chan Cuts Down Lazer, 32 Remain
Our leader Terrence Chan just added a few to his stack while reducing the field by one. Benjamin Lazer was the victim.
All in on the turn with with 
against Chan's and the board showing 
, Lazer needed a jack or seven on the river to survive, but the 
fell and we're down to 32.

Away in a Manger No Crib For Jason
Jason Manger has just been eliminated in a five-bet pot featuring himself, Michael Senter and Maria Ho.
It was like an auction when Manger started off the betting in first position, Senter three-bet - one seat to his left - before Maria Ho made the call. Manger then four-bet for his remaining few chips (10k in total), Senter five-bet and Ho called.
Flop: 
Senter bet, Ho folded and the hammer came down signifying the end of betting.
| Senter |  |
| Manger | |
The turn 
and river 
not providing the miracle that Manger needed and he was out in 34th place.

Seiver Slips, Slides Out in 35th
A short-stacked Scott Seiver found himself nearly all in before the flop in a hand versus Richard Alsup, then contributed the rest of his stack following a 
flop.
Alsup turned over and Seiver . "All right!" said Seiver, sounding equally sincere and sarcastic. Actually he might have been more than half-sincere, as he observed to his neighbor Dan Shak he was "like 80% to chop."
"Just watch," he added hopefully.
The turn brought the 
and the river the 
. "See? It's a chop," Seiver grinned. Alas, his creative interpretation of the board didn't sway the dealer, and the last of his chips went Alsup's way.
