Tony Cousineau Eliminated, 60th WSOP Cash

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Tony Cousineau was eliminated when he moved all in for just over 10 big blinds from under the gun with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and was called by a bigger stack who held {Q-}{Q-}. Cousineau was unable to improve and is eliminated. This was the veteran professional's 60th WSOP cash according to him, which is good for a four way tie for 11th all time with Chau Giang, David Chiu, and TJ Cloutier.

Kolev Gets Chips Back

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On his old table Yuliyan Kolev first lost some chips after raising to 4,100 and then calling the three-bet of Maria Ho in the small blind to 12,600. On the {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, Ho took it down with a continuation bet of 10,800.

On the new table with Joseph Salvaggi, he had not unpacked his chips yet when a player moved all in for 30,000. Kolev one seat over called and the other players behind him folded. The opponent showed {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} but Kolev had that beat with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. The board ran out {2-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} gave both their set and the Bulgarian raked in the chips.

Matt Glantz Eliminated

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We came to the table of Matt Glantz and his seat was empty. Instead, the player in seat six had a ton of chips and is our probable chip leader at the moment. What happened? Joseph Salvaggi opened to 4,200 from under the gun, Glantz three-bet to 11,500, Salvaggi then made it 23,800.

The raising war wasn't over yet as Glantz clicked it to 45,000 and then called all in for 112,000 with pocket queens only to have his opponent show aces. No help on the board and Glantz is done for the day.

A Quartet of Counts

Steven van Zadelhoff's decision to grow a grizzly beard looks to be paying dividends as he is hovering around the 75,000 chip mark.

Matt Marafioti is grinding away with 32,600.

Harwood Hands Over 82K

Loni Harwood
Loni Harwood

Loni Harwood was flying high in the chip counts, was being the operative word.

We headed to her table to see her handing over 82,800 chips to her opponent whose ace-king had connected with a king-high board. We'll try find out what happened and report back, it just wasn't the right time to ask seconds after losing almost three-quarters of her stack.

Maria Ho doesn't want to Bow

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Maria Ho raised to 9,500 from under the gun and the cutoff asked her for the chip count. "19,500," Ho said. The cutoff then raised to exactly that and behind him the button moved all in. Ho snap called and the cutoff did so as well.

Ho: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Cutoff: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Button: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The {7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} board saw the best hand pre flop win and Maria Ho counted again, it was in fact 18,600. The button was covered by the other player and has hit the rail.
