Tournament Loses Three Stars
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
The waters of Event #49 are a little less shark infested thanks to the recent bust outs of three big names.
Andrey Pateychuk, double WSOP bracelet winner James Dempsey and the ever-dangerous Joseph Cheong have each lost their chips and have exited the Brasilia Room. While their exits are bad news for the neutrals at home, they spell great news to the players still in the tournament because it means there are less established pros standing between them and the $546,080 first place prize.

De Korver Missteps
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
Pieter de Korver opened from middle position and after one player folded the next three-bet to 4,200. Another couple of players folded before Derek Dempsey, who has flown under our radar and is armed with 80,000, called from the cutoff.
The action then folded back to de Korver who min-raised to 6,500. The initial three-bettor tanked for over 90 seconds before calling, then Dempsey instantly called.
The 
flop was bet to the tune of 7,000 by de Korver, whose bet was instantly raised all in for an extra 4,000 or so more. Dempsey folded and de Korver called.
de Korver:
Opponent: 
Mr de Korver was crushed by the set of five his opponent had made, but worse was yet to come. It was as if the poker gods were toying with de Korver as the turn and river were the 
and , improving de Korver to trips that were smashed by the full house of his sole opponent.
