Three more bustouts in rapid succession to report.
Both Alex Rocha and start-of-day-2 leader Howard Smith have fallen to earn min-cashes, and they were followed shortly by Scott Fischman who went out after failing to outdraw Robert Williamson III in a Badugi hand. That hand saw RWIII draw a 10 Badugi with to best Fischman's hand.
Robert Price just earned a needed boost to his stack at the expense of chip leader Christopher George. The pair had bet their way down to the river, with the board rolling out , then , then . Price then tabled for a wheel, and George mucked.
We came on a three-way hand over at Table 408 involving Rep Porter, Greg Raymer, and Tony Hartmann. They'd reached the flop with the board showing and about 12,000 in the middle. From the looks of things, it had checked to Porter on the button who bet 6,500 and Raymer had called from the small blind, then Hartmann had raised all in for 33,900 total.
Porter let his hand go after just a beat, and after thinking for a while Raymer folded as well.
On Day 1, Scott Clements organized a $500 last longer bet in this tournament that drew what we believe to be 31 entrants. Clements recently returned to the tournament floor to check up on the progress of this bet and inform us of who is still in. Only four players remain vying for the last longer prize. The four players still in contention are current chip leader Christopher George, Marcel Luske, Shawn Buchanan, and Brian Tate.
Dan O'Brien and Brendan Taylor have both been eliminated from play in unknown action. The latter fell at the hands of 2004 WSOP Main Event champion Greg Raymer.
Michael Jarmark raised from under the gun, then Scott Abrams three-bet from a seat over. It folded back to Jarmark who called, then both players drew one card on the first draw.
Jarmark bet out and Abrams called. Then Jarmark stood pat while Abrams drew one, and again it was Jarmark betting and Abrams calling.
Jarmark stood pat one more time, and this time Abrams stood pat again as well. Jarmark checked, and when Abrams bet Jarmark spent an uncomfortable half-minute or so in the tank before calling.
Abrams tabled and Jarmark mucked while muttering how he couldn't find a fold.
