Quick Hits from Brasilia

  • Eric Siegel and Chau Giang have both been eliminated. Giang went out after shoving {K-Hearts}{2-Spades} and getting called by a player holding the {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}.
  • Abe Mosseri shoved the river on a {J-}{x-}{x-}{10-}{A-} board with pocket jacks, but his opponent immediately snapped him off with {K-}{Q-} for the nut straight. Mosseri lost a little over 40,000 on that hand and sits with 94,000 in chips.
  • Tim Killday is in the mix and up to 68,000 or so in chips. Not only does Killday have a killer last name, but he also came second in the World Series of Poker Circuit St. Louis Main Event for nearly $120,000.
  • After a player in middle position raised, Oscar Kemps raised all in for 13,775. His opponent tank-folded the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Kemps claimed to have a pair.
