Doyle Brunson Eliminated

Level 13
Doyle Brunson
Doyle Brunson

Stud

Doyle Brunson, the "Godfather of Poker" and 10-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner, has been eliminated.

Doyle Brunson: ({7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}) / {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Ofir Mor: ({A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}) / {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}

All of Brunson's chips went in on sixth street against Ofir Mor when he held two pair, sevens and sixes. Unfortunately for Brunson, Mor had a better two pair with aces and tens. Brunson finished with the {3-Clubs} on seventh street, which didn't help him improve, and he was eliminated. Mor finished with the {2-Diamonds}.

Brunson, who has cashed for $398,880 in the $50,000 Poker Players' Championship over the years, will not be adding to his impressive tournament record in this event. He also will not be collecting on any of the bets he made at the beginning of this event.

For Brunson, this was the first event he played this summer, and it may be the only event. Coming into the 2013 WSOP, Brunson stated that he was going to pass on tournament play, but did alter that decision to play this event. Whether or not he will be back for another remains to be seen, but you can keep your eyes locked here on PokerNews for all the latest.

Song Gets Scooped

Level 13

Omaha-8

Roman Yitzhaki raised in late position, Kevin Song defended his big blind, and the flop fell {j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Song led out, Yitzhaki called, and the turn was the {5-Clubs}. Song led out again, Yitzhaki called, and the {10-Clubs} completed the board. Song slowed down, checking, and Yitzhaki threw out a bet. Song stood up from his seat, sat back down, uttered "Wow," then called.

"Straight," Yitzhaki said, showing {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

Song mucked, and Yitzhaki raked in the pot.

The Old Check-Raise from Johnny World

Level 13

Pot-Limit Omaha

Bryn Kenney raised to 12,500 from the cutoff and John Hennigan defended from the big blind. When the flop came down {3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, Hennigan checked and Kenney continued for 19,500. Hennigan waited for a few minutes and then counted out a raise to 65,000. Kenney insta-mucked.

It wasn't much of a good hand but gave us a good excuse to update you on both their counts.

Cantu Busts

Level 13
Brandon Cantu (earlier in the series)
Brandon Cantu (earlier in the series)

Greg Mueller opened to 12,000 from under the gun, before Betrand Grospellier bumped it up with his own raise. Brandon Cantu moved all in for just over 30,000, before Mueller also announced all in, forcing a fold from Grospellier.

Mueller: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Cantu: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The flop was good for Cantu, as it fell {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, but Mueller took the lead when the {a-Clubs} fell on the turn. The {j-Hearts} was no help for Cantu, as he made his way out of the tournament floor.
