Kid Poker Felled by the Unabomber

Chad Holloway

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

We saw the railbirds surrounding the feature table get up on their feet and immediately knew trouble was afoot. We raced to the table just in time to see the classic flip between Daniel Negreanu's and Phil "The Unabomber" Laak's .

Negreanu was the one at risk for roughly 450,000, and he was also the one that needed to improve to stay alive in Event #47: $111,111 One Drop High Rollers No-Limit Hold'em.

Much to Negreanu's dismay, and that of his supporters, the board ran out a lowly and the man nicknamed "Kid Poker" was eliminated from the tournament.

Lee Nearlys Triples While Eliminating 1978 WSOP Main Event Champ

Chad Holloway

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Chris Lee opened for 60,000 in early position and was met by a three-bet to 135,000 by Eugene Katchalov on the button. Bobby Baldwin, who won the World Series of Poker way back in 1978, then shoved all in for 315,000 from the big blind. Lee moved all in over the top for 525,000 or so and Katchalov called to put both of them at risk.

Katchalov:
Baldwin:
Lee:

Baldwin was in bad shape, and so was Lee as Katchalov had the granddaddy of all hands. Fortunately for Lee, he would receive a reprieve when the flop delivered him a set. The turn and river failed to change anything, and Lee nearly tripled while Baldwin was sent to the rail.

Finger Wins Biggest Pot of the Tournament Thus Far to Eliminate Makhija & Lamb

Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

A monster pot just went down at Table 452 that resulted in Amit Makhija and Ben Lamb hitting the rail. Not only that, it established a clear chip leader in Germany's Martin Finger, who won his first bracelet a couple weeks back.

We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know that Makhija, who had about 340,000, ended up all in while Lamb and Finger created a sizable side pot. After the stacks were counted, Lamb ended up all in for 1.1 million while Finger had him covered by less than 100,000.

Finger:
Lamb:
Makhija:

Makhija got it in with the best hand, while Lamb was in the lead for the side pot. Unfortunately for them both, the flop delivered Finger a king and the lead. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing and Finger scored the double elimination.

Meanwhile, Fabian Quoss was eliminated from the feature table by Gus Hansen in unknown action.

Lichtenberger Devours Juanda

Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

"All in and a call," we heard the dealer at the feature table announce. We made our way up just in time to see John Juanda all in holding the and up against the of Andrew Lichtenberger.

The man known as "lucky chewy" was well out in front, and the flop essentially sealed the deal as he flopped Broadway with a royal flush redraw! Juanda could still chop with a non-spade ace, but he wouldn't find one as the appeared on the turn followed by the on the river.
