A player in middle position raised to 1,800 and was called by the cutoff and Warren Oberman, who was on the big blind. All three players checked the 
flop, and when the dealer burned and turned the 
, Oberman led out with a pot-sized bet. Both his opponents folded in turn, and Oberman, who hails from Madison, Wisconsin, rolled over 
for a wheel.
"I never bluff," Oberman told the table with a smile.
Joe Tehan opened in late postion and Anna Castillo re-raised from the big blind. Tehan called and the flop came 
. Tehan bet and Castillo called all in.
Tehan: 
Castillo: 
The board finished 
and Castillo doubled up.
Will Failla was in early position with just 3,100. He opened to 2,800 and Greg Lockwood re-raised from the button. The blinds released and Failla tossed in his one remaining chip.
Failla: 
Lockwood: 
The board ran 
and Failla was eliminated.
We're not sure how it happened, but we just glanced at Table 1 and there was no sign of Robert Williamson III. His former seat is now occupied by another player, which can only mean he's been eliminated from the tournament.
