Two fairly even stacks were all in preflop with Andrew Legg tabling 
versus his opponents 
.
The cards ran out 
with Legg calling for the straight flush on the flop. The turned nut flush was good enough and his upset opponent pushed all the chips in a heap towards Legg.

From under the gun, a short stack moved all in for what looked like eight big blinds. One seat over, Ray Kluever made the call and all other players folded. It was 
for the shortie and 
for Kluever. The 
board ran out safely for the big stack and he joins the top stacks at the moment.

Matthew Pitt, UK PokerNews Editor, WSOP blogger and self-styled short-stack ninja is out.
As he so eloquently put it, “Ace king into nines.” He couldn’t improve and his tournament was over.
However he did win $100 in the PokerNews last longer bet and is now off to sink a couple of beers and watch a few episodes of The Sopranos. He seemed happy enough.

The flop was 
and two players went to war.
Josh Harding opened the betting and when faced with a raise he shoved all in. His opponent asked for a count and after some delay and help from the players at the table the dealer declared the count was around 13,000. His opponent made the call asking if Harding had flopped a set of sixes.
Harding hadn’t flopped a set but his 
was ahead of the 
of his opponent.
The turn 
and river stayed safe and a big mound of chips was pushed Harding’s way.

"Sherwin" just defended his small blind against an under-the-gun raise and then flopped the nuts on 
. The initial raiser wouldn't want to lay down 
and lost 7,275 chips versus 
after two blanks on turn and river.
Only 144 players remain and we are taking heavy steps towards the money, which will come at 90 left.
We only arrived on the river of a 
board and saw 7,000 chips in front of Antonio Bonilla. After some consideration, Corey Emery tossed in a 1k chip to announce the call and Bonilla showed . "Oh wow," he said when Emery turned over 
and as a result was overtaken in chip count by the opponent.

Jason Dembowski moved all in and it was folded around to the small blind James Lambert who hadn’t seen the shove and announced, “Raise.” The floor was called and it was ruled that it had to be a min-raise. He didn’t have enough for that so he too was all in and the at risk player with his last 4,700 chips.
Dembowski tabled versus the 
of Lambert. The cards ran out 
and Lambert spiked a pair to double up.
Lambert was given a one hand penalty for the mistake and a visibly distraught Dembowski was crippled and all in next hand for his last 1,400 with getting called by a bigger stack with 
.
He doubled up as the cards ran out but had suffered a lot of damage to his stack.
