2014 World Series of Poker
According to their respective Twitter accounts, 2014 World Series of Poker Player of the Year leaders Brandon Shack-Harris (752.00) and George Danzer (745.20) have been eliminated.
Google Translate tells us that Danzer's tweet has something to do with "buffing," and that he's "somehow relieved."
Busting shy of the money, neither player will be able to add to their point total in Las Vegas. There is, of course, the World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific in Melbourne, Australia, which kicks off on Oct. 2. The series, which features 10 bracelet events, culminated with the AU$10,000 Main Event on Oct. 13, and the AU$25,000 High Roller on Oct. 15.
Here is the current POY leader board:
| Rank | Player | Points |
|---|---|---|

The final board read ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and Seamus Cahill threw out a bet of 17,000. His opponent had a little over 40,000 left and he turned away from the table in disgust pressing his forehead into his palm.
When he turned back he threw out the calling chips and Cahill turned up his hand ![]()
. It didn’t quite seem to register so the dealer helped Cahill’s opponent out, “Straight.”
Cahill stacked the fresh chips and whispered to his neighbor, “Can you believe it?”
“You made good money on that one,” he acknowledged.

Olof Haglund raised to 1,900 in early position and the action folded to poker author Jim McManus, who moved all in for 9,300 out of the small blind. The action folded back to Haglund, and the Swede tanked for a bit before calling.
Haglund: ![]()
McManus: ![]()
It was a classic race situation, and McManus looked to be in dire straits when the
peaked through the window of the flop. It was followed by the

Haglund was drawing very slim against McManus' set, and the

"One more," a player at the table joked.
A meaningless

Brazilian Maria Mayrinck and the player in the small blind were tangling over a pot where the flop was ![]()
![]()
.
Mayrinck had earlier suffered the ignominy of her country getting humiliated 7-1 by Germany in the semi-final of the World Cup on home soil. She has also lost her glasses, so following everything that is happening at the table is proving difficult. Despite these setbacks, she has remained cheerful. When it was checked to her, she bet 2,600.
Her opponent called and they both checked the turn card
. The river was the
and Mayrinck faced a bet of 9,000.
“You don’t have a nine do you?” Mayrinck asked and called. Her opponent turned over ![]()
and Mayrinck showed her ![]()
. “What is it?” she asked squinting to the far end of the table. The other players told her it was a flush and the dealer confirmed it by pushing the pot the way of her opponent.
Not the best day for the Brazilian so far, but on the other hand, Mayrinck has more than she started with and is still in the hunt for $10,000,000. Can’t be all bad.
