Felted

Here are the most recent eliminations from this tournament including 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen.

McDonald Outkicks Pimlott

With the board reading {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and over 40,000 in the middle, Mike McDonald fired out a bet of 20,000.

Pimlott flicked out a call but did not seem happy about it. Timex tabled {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for top pair with a king kicker and Pimlott shook his head and showed his {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for top pair with a queen.

Small Victory for Williams

We found Harrison Gimbel and Jeff Williams looking down at a flop of {7-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Gimbel bet out 6,000 and Williams thought for a moment from the button. Williams moved out a raise to 13,500 and Gimbel mucked his hand.

Williams is now sitting on about 61,000.

Turner Eliminated

Jon Turner
Jon Turner

Jon Turner has been sent to the rail after getting all in and at risk holding {k-}{10-} while his opponent held {9-}{9-}. The flop came {6-}{q-}{2-} and Turner was still behind. The {2-} on the turn and the {4-} on the river were no help and Turner was gone.

Turner came into the day with one of the top stacks, and continued his run reaching a dominating chip lead early on. Unfortunately after a few setbacks Turner found himself in the middle of the pack and sinking.

Lindgren Living it Up

Barny Boatman limped in from under the gun and a few others limped as well. Action then found its way to Erick Lindgren on the button who raised it up to 6,500. Boatman moved all in for around 40,000 and the table folded back to Lindgren who made a disheartened call. Lindgren would soon realize though he made a great call.

Lindgren: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Boatman: {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board came {3-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and with the straight on the river Lindgren was awarded the pot.

More Sent Packing

Sowers Soars

We don't know exactly how the action went, but we do know Mike Sowers just delivered the knock out blow to Men Nguyen and another player.

According to Sowers Nguyen had {8-}{10-}, the other player had {A-}{Q-}, and Sowers held {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Sowers more chips than the other two so he would be the only one not at risk. The board came {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts} and with the river jack Sowers hit his straight. No one could counter a straight so Sowers was awarded the pot.

Schwartz and Williams Collide

Jeff Williams bet out 13,500 on a board of {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. Action was up to Justin Schwartz who thought about his decision.

"A queen good, yellowsub?" Schwartz asked Williams using his online moniker.

Schwartz eventually decided that a queen was good and made the call, showing {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}. Williams showed {J-}{10-} then flung his cards to the muck.
