Tatalovich Scoops, Williams Misses Everything

Level 18

Stud Eight or Better

The board on the table showed {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, as action started on the turn with Jonathan Williams betting and Richard Tatalovich making the call.

The river was the {10-Spades}, pairing the board. Williams slowed down with a check, Tatalovich decided to bet. Willliams shook his head, turned his cards face up, and put in the call.

Tatalovich had {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for the full house, Williams showed {a-Diamonds}{q-}{5-}{3-Diamonds} for the flush draw, low draw, and straight draw, that left him with just the pair of aces that were no good.

Aces Cracked Bust Souki from WSOP Main Event Final Table

Level 18
Phillippe Souki Elimination
Phillippe Souki Elimination

There aren't many crueler ways to bust the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event than with pocket aces, especially when $10 million and the coveted gold bracelet are within reach.

That's exactly what happened to Philippe Souki about seven hours into Friday's final table. However, he did still receive $1,075,000 as quite a sizable consolation prize for eighth place.

Grapenthien Survives Bubble, Busts Immediately After

Level 18
Matt Grapenthien
Matt Grapenthien

Omaha 8 or Better

Matt Grapenthien was all in for his final 9,000 in early position. Mike Wattel then raised in the small blind and Jordan Siegel called in the big blind.

The players then checked down the {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board.

Grapenthien showed {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}, which failed to connect with the board. Siegel showed {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for just a pair of deuces, and Wattel mucked his hand, meaning Siegel's ducks had quacked loudly enough to send Grapenthien to the rail.

Meanwhile, at an adjacent table, Brandon Shack-Harris was also one of the first post-bubble eliminations.

Kurtzman Bubbles

Level 18
Bubble Boy Eric Kurtzman
Bubble Boy Eric Kurtzman

Stud Eight or Better

Eric Kurtzman: {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}/{q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Christopher Carney: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}/{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Kris Lord: {2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}/{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Eric Kurtzman was all in preflop for less than one bet. Christopher Carney and Kris Lord were along for the ride.

Carney and Lord checked every street until seventh when Lord bet, Carney raised, and Lord called.

Carney had the low, Lord had the straight, and Kurtzman was left holding two pair which sent him out the door one short of the money.

"It's not my first bubble, but it still hurts," said Kurtzman.

Grapenthien and Kurtzman Double on the Bubble

Level 18

Limit Hold'em

Matt Grapenthien was all in on the big blind for his last 4,000 chips.

Daniel Weinman raised under the gun and the rest of the table folded.

Matt Grapenthien: {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Daniel Weinman: {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}, pairing up Grapenthien to keep him alive.

Stud 8 or Better

While Grapenthien was all in and doubling, Eric Kurtzman was left with 3,000 and was all in for his ante.

On seventh street, he was trailing Chris McHugh's nine-high straight with a seven low, holding two pair, nines and sevens. Kurtzman somehow managed to draw a nine on seventh to fill up and win the high half of the pot to stay alive

Taylor Busts With Full House

Level 17

Stud

While several short stacks cling to life on the bubble, Jeffery Taylor was just eliminated with a healthy stack of approximately 100,000 chips after his full house ran into the quad aces of Christopher McHugh in a hand of Stud.

Play is now hand-for-hand until the next player is eliminated to burst the bubble.
