Armstrong's Stack Weakens

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The action hasn't slowed down at the feature tables in the middle of the Amazon Room. We just found Roman Shaposhnikov all in preflop for 215,000 with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} against Jamie Armstrong's {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. The {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop provided a huge sweat, giving Shaposhnikov top set and Armstrong the nut flush draw, but the {9-Hearts} on the turn ended it quickly as Shaposhnikov made a boat. The meaningless {6-Diamonds} river card secured the double for Shaposhnikov, while Armstrong slid to 230,000.

Ramage Ravages

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Grayson Ramage and Nick Schwarmann were heads-up in a three-bet pot on a flop of {7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Schwarmann checked, Ramage fired out 39,000, and Schwarmann check-raised to 180,000. Ramage tank-called.

The turn was the {q-Spades}, Schwarmann led out for 123,000, and Ramage tank-called once again.

The {10-Spades} completed the board, Schwarmann moved all in for effectively 724,000, and Ramage tanked for longer than he had on the two previous streets combined. Finally, he called, and Schwarmann tabled {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Ramage had that beat with {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} for trip queens, and raked in a massive pot.

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Dirk Van Luijk - Eliminated
Dirk Van Luijk - Eliminated

A gigantic pot just went down between Jason Mann and Dick Van Luijk, and thankfully the ESPN crew and a Dutch colleague were able to fill us in on the details. According to them, Mann and van Luijk were heads up in a four-bet pot, wherein Van Luijk accidentally three-bet preflop. Mann cold four-bet, on Van Luijk called, and Mann led out on a flop of {9-}{6-}{4-}. Van Luijk moved all in for 900,000, Mann tanked for a considerable amount of time, and then called with {a-}{a-}.

Van Luijk tabled {k-}{6-} for just a pair of sixes, and the aces held up.

Mann now has over two million chips, while van Luijk hit the rail.

Tran Holds with Top Pair

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
JC Tran, shown here playing in a tournament earlier this summer.

Dennis Premmanee pushed all in for 232,000 on the turn with the board reading {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}. JC Tran thought for a bit and made the call with Eddie Blumenthal behind him, who folded immediately.

Premmanee: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Tran: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Tran was ahead, but he was up against two overs, a flush draw and a gutshot. The river was an {8-Diamonds}, a brick for Premmanee's draw, and Tran, who had less than 10 big blinds at one point yesterday, now has a more than healthy stack.

Turner Toppled by Taylor

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jon Turner
Jon Turner

Paul Taylor opened with a raise to 22,000 only to have Jon Turner three-bet shove the button for 132,000. Taylor considered his options for a few moments before making the call.

Turner: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Taylor: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop gave Turner outs to a chop, but the {Q-Hearts} on the turn would end it as the {K-Clubs} completed the board on the river to send Turner to the rail and Taylor up over 900,000 in chips.

Steinberg "Embarrassed" By Dwindling Stack

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Going into the dinner break, Max Steinberg tweeted that he had only lost two hands all day. He was the chip leader at the time, but apparently Steinberg's stack has dwindled a bit since dinner. ESPN's Andrew Feldman was recently taking a picture of Steinberg at one of the feature tables, and Steinberg lightheartedly described his frustration.

"Don't take a picture now," he told Feldman. "This is embarrassing. You should have seen my stack earlier. I had another tier. Now it's gone."

"That's embarrassing?" Feldman resplied. "You should walk around the room. You've been stuck at the feature table too long."

True, Steinberg doesn't have the tower he once had, but he's still among the leaders and in great shape to make a run at his second WSOP bracelet."

Kyaw Bets Rajkumar Out

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Vivek Rajkumar and Seaver Kyaw were doing battle in a heads up pot when we walked up to the table. We saw that on a board of {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} Rajkumar had fired out 35,000, and that Kyaw had raised it up to 100,000. This is when we walked up to the table, and Rajkumar thought for about a minute while we were there before he made the call The river was the {q-Spades}, and Rajkumar checked to Kyaw. He thought for just a few moments before he stacked a tower of orange T5,000 chips, and slid it into the middle, a bet of 150,000.

Rajkumar folded rather quickly, and Kyaw took down the pot to up his stack to more than 1.3 million, while Rajkumar fell to 465,000.
