Driscoll's Aces Cracked

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Aaron Massey opened to 400 and Ted Driscoll made the call. The action folded to Kevin Cunningham in the big blind who raised it 1,450. Massey called and Driscoll four-bet all in for his last 4,200. Cunningham snap-called and Massey folded to create the following showdown:

Ted Driscoll: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Kevin Cunningham: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Driscoll was in good shape for a double up but the board fell {k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, giving Cunningham a set of kings on the flop and a house on the turn, eliminating Driscoll from the tournament.

Hallaert Takes a Seat

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

With almost 40 WSOP cashes under his belt, Kenny Hallaert has joined the action here in Brasilia room.

Just now he got it in with {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} against {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} on a {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs}. On the {6-Clubs} turn, his backdoor flush draw potential had been nullified and after the {2-Spades} river, the dealer chopped it up.

Despite this, Hallaert has chipped up to almost double starting stack.
