Adam Friedman Eliminated

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

With 13,000 or so in the main pot, Adam Friedman was all in. Alex Luneau and Mike Gorodinsky were contesting a side pot, with Luneau sporting the scarier board and betting fifth street.

Luneau: {x-}{x-}/{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Friedman: {x-}{x-}/{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Gorodinsky: {x-}{x-}/{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Gorodinsky called on fifth, and both players checked sixth. Friedman wasn't shy about letting it be known he wasn't pleased with the cards he was catching all the while. Luneau checked on the end and folded to a bet from Gorodinsky, who showed {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for fives up. Friedman flipped {2-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} into the middle for an airball.

"Good luck in the Main," Rob Mizrachi said.

Zinno Pressures Opponent Off a Pot

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Anthony Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}/{x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-}/{a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}/{x-}

With about 23,000 already in the middle, Anthony Zinno bet 3,000 into his heads-up opponent. His opponent stared at his three down-cards for a few moments, flicking them in his hand before eventually laying them down, and Zinno was pushed the pot.

Jerri Thomas Busts One, Takes From Ramos as Well

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Husband and wife WSOP stud bracelet-holding duo, Harry and Jerri Thomas, are each looking for their second bracelets.

Both are seated here on Day 1, not too far from each other. Jerri recently eliminated an opponent and took some chips from Felipe Ramos in the process.

Jerri: {x-}{x-}/{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}/{x-}
Ramos: {x-}{x-}/{a-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}/{x-}
All-in opponent: {x-}{x-}/{k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}/{x-}

The all-in player didn't have much left and was all in off the bat. Jerriand Ramos continued building a pot until we caught the action on fifth street.

Ramos bet and Jerri called. Both players checked down from there and Jerri took the pot, tabling {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

Tens Not Enough for Zinno

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Anthony Zinno had a {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} on board and bet into David Bach's king-high board on fourth, with "Gunslinger" calling. Zinno continued to bet all subsequent streets.

Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}/{x-}
Bach: {x-}{x-}/{k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}/{x-}

Bach called down, and after he called the river, Zinno showed {10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts} for just tens. Bach had {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts} for kings up.

Ray Dehkharghani was already all in when we got to his table with fifth street on the felt. Mike Leah bet into one opponent who still had chips, and that player called. Both checked sixth.

Leah: {x-}{x-}/{10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs}/{x-}
Dehkharghani: {x-}{x-}/{a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}/{x-}
Third player: {x-}{x-}/{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}/{x-}

Leah called a river bet but couldn't beat {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a straight, and Dehkharghani took his leave without a showdown.
