Andrew Yeh is up to 14,000 after pulling off a nice bluff in a hand of Omaha at his table. According to Yeh, this is what happened.
Action was six ways to a rainbow flop and Yeh was acting from the small blind. He checked as did the big blind. The third player bet, the next two called and then the last player raised. Yeah called, the next player folded and the original bettor reraised. The two flatters in between folded before the last player called. Yeh also called to complete the action.
The turn was an offsuit and Yeh checked. The next player bet, the third player called and Yeh called.
The river paired the board with another and Yeh checked. The next player bet and the third player folded. Yeh put in a raise as he said he felt his opponent had some sort of low-drawing wrap hand. His opponent tanked for a little bit, then folded and Yeh showed for ten high.
Usually we mean that players left the building, or at least the tournament area. Well not in this case since both Noah Boeken and David Williams can be found on the rail at the ESPN Main Feature Table.
As we speak the heads up between Theo Tran and Dung Nguyen is going on in the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em, and both Williams and Boeken are good friends with Tran. Tran is trailing in the match, but he's already got $377,565 locked up. The winner of this event will eventually go home with a massive $607,200 first place prize. PokerNews is covering this match and all the live updates can be found right here.
And now the stories of Williams and Boeken. Williams was very outspoken and quick when we asked him if anything special happened, "No," was his answer. Boeken had a better story.
The Dutch pro told us how he only lasted for 30 minutes in this event, and he got both three- and one outered in this short time span. He told us one hand in which he had double suited on a board. One bet went into the pot on every street after which Boeken got raised on the river. His opponent had aces and beat his full house.
This World Series of Poker hasn't been kind for Boeken, who hasn't had the run he was hoping for so far.
Allen Bari seems to be having a bit of a party over at his table that includes Tony Cousineau, Nicholas Verkaik, Matt Graham and Joe Hachem. Bari's up to roughly 26,000 and winning many, many pots. At one point, he turned to a PokerNews reporter and said, "Just stay over here. Forget about all of the other tables, this is where it's all happening! Really, it's so disgusting how good I am at this."
The table got some good laughs at what Bari said, but he still had more to say. He looked at Hachem and said, "Joe, if you want, I do OE coaching... at a fairly reasonable price."
Again the table got a good laugh, but it looks like Bari is laughing last as he's the one with the most chips.
We've got some numbers for you guys. This tournament started with 393 players and currently there are 320 remaining. Out of those players 40 will get paid and making the final table will get you at least $20,966. The winner of this event will walk home with a nice $228,014 payday!
Noah Boeken was also among the last players to enter this event as he just sat down after the 30 minute break. Right as we noticed him he already won a pot.

Boeken raised it up to 250 on third street and Guss was his only caller. On fourth, fifth and sixth street Guss ended up calling bets as well after which seventh street was dealt. Boeken looked down at his final card, hesitated, and decided to check. Guss checked as well.
Boeken showed for two pair and Guss threw his cards into the muck. After this hand Boeken was up to over 9,000, but on the very next hand he lost some. David Levi got eliminated when he managed to make just a pair of fives against his opponent's aces. Singer is done while Boeken is just getting ready to play some poker.
