Costa Rica's Humberto Brenes completed with the showing only to have Andrey Zhigalov, who had the up, raised to 4,000. Brenes made the call and then called a bet on fourth. Brenes took the lead on fifth and check-called 4,000, and then Zhigalov retook the lead on sixth and promptly bet. Brenes called and then both players checked seventh.

Zhigalov held two pair with sixes and fours, which was good for the high. Brenes, on the other hand, had the low with an 8-7-5-4-3. Chops aren't very exciting, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on both their stacks.

Here's a look at the remaining schedule of WSOPOC events:
Mike Matusow has been hanging in for quite some time but eventually climbed to an above average stack with 63 players left. One table over Erik Seidel was there, but lost some change after raising the button and calling the three-bet of the big blind to 6,000. The big blind then moved all in after the flop and Seidel jokingly asked, "Can I have an exact count please?" before tossing in the 1,800 chips for a call.

Both the turn and the river bricked and the short stack survived.
Stanislav Parkhomenko opened for 4,000 from early position and was met by a three-bet to 6,000 from Thomas "Thunder" Keller on the button. The blinds both folded, Parkhomenko called, and it was heads-up action to the flop, which they both checked.
The two then checked the turn, and Parkhomenko opted to bet 4,000 on the river. It did the trick, as Keller sent his cards to the muck.
The opponent of Corey Hastings was shaking his hand and mucked his cards what I believe to have caught as kings and jacks. Hastings scooped him however with 6-5 low and flush.
Thomas Butzhammer raised on the cutoff to 3,000 and the small blind made three bets to 4,500. On the flop the small blind continued and then bet again on the turn. He had another 500 left behind and Butzhammer wasn't too happy about the call, but tossed in the chips.

The river was no help and the small blind took down the pot with aces up; the German is down.
On third street, a short stack was all in for his last four bets and Chris Klodnicki made the call. After seventh they double checked if a chop would be needed, but Klodnicki scooped the pot.
