South African pro Jarred Solomon opened to 14,000 from under the gun and the action passed all the way around to Corey Harrison in the big blind.
"Fifteen?" Harrison asked the dealer. She spread the chips so Harrison could see them and with the information processed Harrison called.
The 
flop was checked by Harrison. Solomon carefully placed 16,000 worth of chips over the betting line. Harrison released his hand and Solomon won the pot.
These players recently lost their stacks and will not progress any further.

Paul Wasicka, the man who finished second in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event (the one that Jamie Gold won) has been nursing a short stack since we came back from dinner break, but that short-stack has doubled in size thanks to the following hand.
Travell Thomas opened to 12,000 from late position and Wasicka three-bet all in for 43,500 chips. Thomas instantly called and turned over 
to find he was in a coinflip with Wasicka's 
.
"Ship it," said Thomas as the dealer burned a card and put the first three community cards into play. They read 
improving Wasicka to a pair of jacks. The 
landed on the turn and Thomas said," I've got this, I've got this," implying he was confident in catching a straight on the river. That didn't happen because the river was the 
and with that Wasicka doubled up.

On the Friday edition of the PokerNews Podcast, the crew breaks down the latest news from the World Series of Poker, including David Diaz being banned from Caesars properties, Martin Finger winning his first gold bracelet, Matthew Ashton approaching another final table, and an update from the Ivey and the Misfits fantasy team. They then talk with Jay Rosenkrantz about the premiere of Bet Raise Fold: The Story of Online Poker.
Zimnan Ziyard opened to 12,000 and to his immediate left was Robert Brewer who three-bet to 28,000. The next three players folded before Mohsin Charania four-bet to what looked like 74,000. Ziyard quickly got out of the way, but Brewer was not done with his hand. Ten seconds or so passed before Brewer looked at the dealer and announced, "I'm all-in." Charania snap-folded and left Brewer to scoop the pot.
On the first hand back from the dinner break, Travell Thomas secured a huge double up to catapult him towards the top of the leader board. We were only able to jot down the hands after the fact, but Thomas held 
on a flop of 
. Lanny Levine had 
, and was in dire straits going to the turn. He was drawing dead when the 
hit, and the meaningless river was the 
.
Levine dropped to 103,000 after that hand, while Thomas jumped up to 245,000.

Last night on the money bubble, there was one player who had blinded down to just 1,500 chips. He was going to be in the big blind on the next hand, but fortunately for him, a player busted, and he dodge the potentially crippling big blind. That man was Robert Hummel, and he had his work cut out for him today. With 198 players coming back, he was in 197th place, but amazingly, with just 39 players still alive, Hummel is one of them. He is still a short stack with 40,000 and the blinds at 3000-6000, but to get this far he clearly knows how to play the short stack. How much further can Hummel go?
