Yevgeniy Timoshenko has just had to make a decision for his tournament life. We caught the action on the river and Timoshenko's opponent had moved all-in and had the Russian covered.
"I call," said Timoshenko.
"Good call," said his opponent as he placed his hand into the muck face down.
Jason Mercier reminded Timoshenko that he had to show the winning hand so he turned over .
During our last walk around we saw that last year's November Niner Phil Collins was all in and called by his opponent. Collins who took home a cool $2,269,599 for his main event performance last year was looking to make a memorable WSOP run this year. After the cards were tabled it didn't look like this would be the event where Collins has another great finish though.

Opponent:
A flop allowed for Collins to hope for some kind of run run straight, but a on the turn diminished those dreams quickly. The miracle on the river gave Collins a set of eights and the winning hand. Collins now sits around 27,000.
Dimitar Danchev has just eliminated Scott Baumstein from the table we have affectionately called The Table of Death and this is how it went down.
Danchev raised to 800 and Scott Baumstein three-bet to 1,900 in the next seat. A few folds later and Kirill Kruglov called in the cutoff as did Phil Ivey on the button. Back to Danchev and he moved all-in for 15,000, Baumstein also moved all-in for 9,000 and both Kruglov and Ivey folded.

So Baumstein got it in good, but an ace on the turn put paid to his WSOP bracelet hopes and he was out.
We managed to catch up to World Series of Poker Europe bracelet winner Tristan Wade getting involved in a pot with a player in early position. We do not know exactly how the action went, but after a reraise from Wade preflop his opponent moved all in. Wade snap called and flipped over . Wade's opponent then tabled a meekly
Both players were about even in stacks and it wasn't exactly clear who had more chips. With about 55,000 in the middle the loser of the hand would essentially be out. With a flop Wade went from pent house to potential out house in a matter of seconds. A turn and a river were no help to Wade. Chips were counted and Wade held 125 more chips than his opponent so he still had at least one hand to play.
That one last hand came during the very next deal where Wade moved in for less than the big blind and only managed to get one caller after the player in the big blind isolated Wade with a raise, scaring everyone else away.

The dealer spread out a board and Wade was eliminated. With a quick "good luck everybody" Wade started his walk out of the Brasilia room.
