Updated Chip Counts

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Blinds: 1,000/2,000

Ante: 300

Ilana Belsky Busts Two At Table of Death

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

There was a short-stacked all in from under the gun and another middle-position shove before Ilana Belsky moved all in from the small blind.

Under the gun: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Middle position: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Ilana Belsky: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}.

According to Belsky, they have been eliminating players at their table almost as soon as they are seated. “Bring the other three thousand, we’ll soon bust them.” she said.

Thomas Ward Five-Bet Shoves

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

There was an open before Thomas Ward three-bet to 7,200. It folded back to the original raiser, who under-raised, but it was finally established that his bet was 11,400. Ward then five-bet shoved for around 20,000. The original raiser tanked for a bit too long, as the clock was called on him before he eventually called.

Thomas Ward: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Ward collected all the aces to hit quads and double up.

Ilana Belsky Doubles Up and Then Some

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A short stack shoved, Ilana Belsky re-shoved for 17,000, and a big stack in the blinds threw in the calling chips.

Short stack: {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Ilana Belsky: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Big stack: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

The board ran out {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The troublesome jacks held for Belsky to give her a double-up and bust a player.

Moneymaker Busts

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Chris Moneymaker has been eliminated. Getting a little short on chips, a player opened holding {4-}{4-} and called a shove from Moneymaker, holding {a-}{9-}. The fours held to bust the former champ.

Moneymaker has never really played a full schedule of events at the World Series of Poker since his life-changing victory, but it would take something drastic to prevent him from playing the Main Event, which starts tomorrow.
