While we play down to a winner in this event, check out one of our latest champions, Danny Fuhs. He was overjoyed with his bracelet win in the WSOP Event #25, a $5,000 Omaha Hi-Low 8-or-Better tournament. Sarah spoke with him just after he clinched the title.
We walked up to Antonio Esfandiari's table just as he went all in for his last 250. A few opponents called, and then there was a raise by one opponent that drove out all but one other player and Esfandiari.
The flop came 
, and one opponent raised to get heads-up with Esfandiari. His opponent showed 
, and Esfandiari reluctantly showed 
. The turn and river came 
and 
, which was no good for Esfandiari, causing him to be eliminated toward the end of level 4.

Yesterday, Kristy spoke to PokerStars Team Online Pro Mickey Peterson about implied odds. Today, she pulled aside teammate Randy Lew to discuss reverse implied odds.
Manig Loeser is having a good summer so far with a cash in a $1,000 event (269th for $2,107), a runner up finish to John Beauprez for $200,698 and... a cash in a $350 tournament in a different casino for $491. He's off to a good start so far in this $1,000 event. Just now he got some new chips as his opponent just shoved all in on the turn when the board read

while his opponent (big blind) had 
. The river 
didn't change a thing and Loeser is cruising again.

On our latest sweep through the Brasilia Room we saw a lot of new players. Most of them were waiting near the table where late registrants are supposed to go, some of them were already seated and we had just missed before. These players are all playing the $1,000 though, that's for sure:

Four hours ago we read the following tweet by Barry Greenstein:
I don't give out signed books anymore. I apologize to the players who called me with nothing to get a book and then drew out to bust me.Follow @barrygreenstein
The player in seat two at table nine is either not on twitter, or he missed that tweet. Barry Greenstein was nowhere to be found (anymore) but this gentleman looked in shock that he didn't receive a book. "That's why I pushed all in!" he laughed with a big smile on his face. "Yeah, he used to give out signed copies of Ace on the River" the dealer said when the nine seat asked what the table was discussing.
Are all copies sold of Greenstein's acclaimed book? Or is he just tired of writing bad beat stories for every single tournament he does not win?
