Soi Nguyen's tumultuous day on the felt has come to an end. The 2010 November was just eliminated by 2008 November Niner Ivan Demidov. Nguyen was all in preflop with 
against Demidov's 
, and the board rolled out 
to send Nguyen to the rail.
Demidov, meanwhile, has cashed in his first event in the World Series of Poker since 2009 when he min-cashed a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event for $2,808. His two WSOP cashes before that were for a combined $6.4 million — he took third place at the WSOP Europe Main Event ($608,995) and second in the WSOP Main Event ($5,809,595).

Today saw Jackie Glazier nearly become the second woman to win a WSOP bracelet this summer, falling just one step shy with a runner-up finish in Event 41: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em, won by Greg Ostrander. Glazier was hoping to join Allyn Jaffrey Shulman as a bracelet winner after her triumph in Event 29: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship.
In our event just 80 players remain, with three women among them. Maya Antonius has been nursing a short stack for most of the afternoon, and presently sits with 33,000. Kathy Saraf has 44,500 at present, just a bit below the stack with which she started the day. And Anke Berner has done well through day's four levels, having started the day with just 7,600 and built up to 95,500 as we return for Level 16.
We caught up with the action on a 
flop in a heads-up pot featuring Amnon Filippi and one other player.
Filippi checked from the big blind and his opponent fired 10,000 from under-the-gun. Filippi responded by check-raising all in and his opponent called all in for 56,000.
Filippi: 
for a flush draw.
Opponent: 
for a pair of jacks.
The 
turn and 
river bricked out for Filippi and his opponent doubled through - knocking Filippi down to 75,000 in the process.

We came upon this hand as the flop was being dealt, with subsequent action (and conversation) suggesting Keven "Stamdogg" Stammen had limped in from the button, and Alex Rivera in the big blind checked. The pair then both checked the 
flop.
The turn was the , and Rivera bet 8,000. "You can fold," he said to Stammen, who declined the advice and called. The river was the 
and Rivera checked once more. Again, he encouraged Stammen to check, then after Stammen bet 23,000, he commented at length about how big the bet was before he called.
Stammen showed for a straight. Rivera then turned over 
for the same straight and they chopped. "Thought you were going to show up with 
there," said Stammen. "After you gave that speech."
For Stammen's part, he's mostly letting his chips do the talking as he continues to maintain a top 10 stack.

Action folded around to Joe Tehan, who moved all in for just under 50,000 on the button. Nelson Robinson was the next to act from the small blind, and he announced a call. The big blind folded, and hands were revealed:
Tehan: 
Robinson: 
The 
wasn't good for Tehan, and it didn't get any better with the turn and river, giving Robinson trips. Tehan picks up his eighth cash of this World Series of Poker, but he wasn't happy on his way to the cashier.
