John Cernuto: //
Opponent 1: //
Opponent 2: / — folded on fifth

John Cernuto led with a bet on fourth, which picked up two calls and earned one fold. On fifth, Cernuto bet again and was called by just one player this time. Cernuto bet again on sixth and was called. Then on seventh, both players checked.

Cernuto's opponent showed down for two pair.

"I was drawing to diamonds," he said, which prompted a sigh from Cernuto.

"I got aces," Cernuto said, but he only showed his , implying that he had outs to a low or a straight as well. With that, the pot was pushed the way of Cernuto's opponent and Cernuto dropped under the starting stack.

Last year at the World Series of Poker, local grinder Ron Ware emerged atop a field of 472 to win his first bracelet in Event #21: $1,500 8-Game.

To do so, he had to get through Mike Ross in a back-and-forth heads-up battle. Lo and behold, those two are seated next to each other once again in this very tournament. They're in Seat 7 and Seat 8 at Table 451. According to Ross, Ware let him have the first pot they played against each other to make up for taking away the bracelet.
