Henry Orenstein is one of poker's most significant figures, winner of the seven-card championship in 1996 and inventor of the hole-card camera. He's also a Holocaust survivor with nearly 100 patents to his name. He's back in World Series of Poker action here in Event #61, and doing quite well.
Yesterday, Remko Rinkema chatted with Nolan Dalla about Mr. Orenstein, and we encourage you to check out that video below:

"Don't you guys follow the updates?" Phil Hellmuth just said to the other players at the table.
The other players remained mostly silent and Hellmuth continued, "I follow every single update of every single event," as he scrolled through some of them on his phone.
For now, the updates about Hellmuth himself are very positive as the 13-time bracelet winner peacefully grinds a big stack while we're getting closer and closer to the money.

On seventh street Tony Cernuto showed two pair against Gabe Kaplan's lower two pair, but he still had one card to turn over. Kaplan sweated the card, but it turned out not to be the right one for him to fill up.
Cernuto had aces and tens and he busted Kaplan, who had eights and sixes showing.
