abush eliminated by Mike Watson

Jose "robertoduran" Severino was eliminated by Kosei Ichinose and Mike Watson also doubled his tally of eliminations in the first level after knocking out "abush". They created a pot of 10,500 to the {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop and Watson called a bet to see the {2-Diamonds} turn. That's when they got their chips in with Sam "samsam81" Higgs getting out of the way.

"abush": {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Mike Watson: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The {k-Spades} river was a blank and Watson kept the pace of Ichinose.

Chul Woo "SSAK3" Jung was among the first casualties of the day and has since re-entered to go on a rampage.

Latest casualty of Jung's recent run was "SolidMAn84" who got it in with the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} on the {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} turn. Jung tabled {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a straight flush and the {j-Diamonds} river was a formality.

5 Things You Don’t Know About the WSOP Online at GGPoker

Level 6 : 350/700, 0 ante

Now through the first part of September, the WSOP Online will be exclusively on GGPoker, so whether you're playing on the client for the first time or you're a seasoned online pro, we thought we'd bring you five things you didn't know about the WSOP Online on GGPoker.

  • 1. STAKING on DAY 2:
    Poker fans and players can now buy a piece of their favourite player's action or sell their own should they survive Day 1 of phased tournaments.
  • 2. Convert Multiple Event Tickets into T$
    After the series has finished, your unused tickets will be exchanged for T$ that you can use to enter any tournament on GGPoker
  • 3. Pick Your Own WSOP Event
    When the WSOP Online schedule on GGPoker was announced, the poker community was intrigued to see a new type of bracelet event announced! Three 'People's Choice' events were announced, with the formats and buy-ins yet to be announced.
  • 4. Best Stack Forward
    Any player that makes it to the end of a Day 1 with a stack is allowed to take part in additional Day 1s if they want to, providing they have not exceeded the maximum number of re-entries.
    However, if a player finishes multiple Day 1s with chips, only the highest chip stack will go to Day 2.
  • 5. Take Advantage of Bubble Protection
    GGPoker's popular Bubble Protection is available throughout the WSOP Online. It's available for all non-phase events with buy-ins less than $999. This means that if you register before the start of play and go on to bubble the tournament, you'll receive your buy-in back.

Yet another three-way all-in saw big stack Lasse "kusimutteri" Enojarvi in prime shape to knock out two players as he was ahead with aces versus kings while Aleksandr "Nitochka" Gorbateno tabled two double-suited one gappers.

Sebastian "LtsGoDanc!n" Simovic: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Jung Above Half a Million After Busting Tsang

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Tara@Oz eliminated by SSAK3
Tara@Oz eliminated by SSAK3

Paul Siddle raised the pot to 4,200 on the button and was called by chip leader Chul Woo "SSAK3" Jung in the small blind and Anson "Tara@Oz" Tsang in the big blind.

The trio checked through the {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop and Tsang then got his stack in after the {j-Hearts} turn against Jung for a pot of more than three times the starting stack.

Anson "Tara@Oz" Tsang: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Chul Woo "SSAK3" Jung: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Tsang needed to pair his queen or hit a heart that didn't pair the board. Instead, a blank {2-Spades} followed on the river to send Jung above half a million.

Death By Quads for Chen; Death by Flush for Tsang

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante
Pete Chen Busts to Quads
Pete Chen Busts to Quads

In three-way action to the {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Shane "Danish01" Daniels as the initial raiser from middle position bet 7,750 and faced Pete Chen in the cutoff while Markus "PhilKessel" Cara sent his cards into the muck. Chen raised to 22,100 and then called all-in after a raise by Daniels.

Shane "Danish01" Daniels: {10-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}
Pete Chen: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

The {9-Diamonds} turn left Chen with one out and the {8-Hearts} river brought no miracle.

At almost the same time, Anson "Tara@Oz" Tsang also bowed out. On his third bullet, he three-bet the pot and continued for the pot on the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop and "AndessOg" check-called to then bet the {q-Clubs} turn. Tsang called all-in for the following showdown.

Anson "Tara@Oz" Tsang: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
"AndessOg": {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The {4-Hearts} river was a blank as Tsang hit the rail.

Hen "GeorgeTheVet" Rosilio has disappeared and Thai Loc "MinaNina" Le took his seat to then beat Craig "Goblue" Varnell in back-to-back hands, ending the hopes of a second bracelet win for Varnell.

Le rivered a queen-high flush and then opened to 10,000 right after. Varnell three-bet to 34,000 with 24,447 and called all-in after the push of Le.

PgTilt Wins Huge Pot
PgTilt Wins Huge Pot

From under the gun, "PgTilt" raised to 12,500 and "SCK1996" called to then see Viatcheslav "Preflopper" Ortynskiy in the cutoff raise the pot for 57,500. "PgTilt" and "SCK1996" both called. On the {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, the action checked to Ortynskiy and he continued for another 59,400 to pick up two calls.

The {2-Hearts} followed on the turn and "PgTilt" bet 78,206. "SCK1996" moved all in to force out Ortynskiy and "PgTilt" called instantly.

"PgTilt": {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
"SCK1996": {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

There was no miracle one outer on the {6-Diamonds} river and "SCK1996" was left with one blind, which they lost the next hand to Jan Suchanek.
