Comfy Sofia

Sofia Lövgren opened to 550 from middle position and Barry Greenstein made the call on the button. The big blind had other plans however and reraised all-in for around 5,000. Lövgren immediately also moved all-in and Greenstein sighed and folded {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} face up.

Lövgren: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {J-Hearts} {9-Spades}

The board looked pretty unhelpful on the {10-Hearts} {4-Spades} {6-Clubs} flop but the {8-Clubs} turn made things interesting, "Sevens are gone," reminded Huck Seed.

The {4-Diamonds} river wasn't what the big blind was looking for and he was eliminated, Lövgren moves up to about 10,500.

Chip Counts

Durrrr Struggling

Tom Dwan raised to 500 from the hijack and Jason Gray, whilst munching on a cheese toasty, made the call from the big blind.

The flop rolled out {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}, and Gray check-raised Dwan's continuation bet of 575 all in for around 4,000. Dwan immediately released his hand allowing Gray to scoop the pot.

As a result of that setback, Dwan is down to 1,500 and in need of a double through.

Rousso Moves All In

With the cut-off opening to 350, Vanessa Rousso made the call from the button leading to a {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop. Both players checked, but the button increased the pressure by leading out for 700 on the {J-Spades} turn.

With little hesitation, Rousso responded by sliding her stack across the felt. Her opponent immediately folded, allowing Rousso to pick up the pot. She's now clawed back up to 3,600.

Sofia So Good

I've been glued to Table Hellmuth all day... otherwise I would left.

Perhaps one reason to stay is Sofia Lövgren, a rather aesthetically pleasing young Swede who first came to our attention when she went deep in the Irish Open. That week, she was the highest placed female, finishing 29th for €9,800.

Today she'll been keen to make her mark once again, and by the looks of her stack, she's heading in the right direction. As I left the table, I witnessed Lövgren pick up a small pot, raising it up from early position before taking it down with a continuation bet on the {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} flop. This added a few more chips to her count, giving her around 5,500 heading into the second break.

More Like An Implosion...

A short-stacked Phil Hellmuth has been eliminated from the tournament. According to tablemate Barry Greenstein, he was all-in with {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts} against another player's {A-} {Q-} and although he picked up a wheel draw on the turn of the {10-Spades} {7-Spades} {2-} {5-} {Q-} board, it was ultimately all-in vain. The "Poker Brat" will simply have to wait for the next tournament before he takes a shot at winning a WSOPE bracelet.

So Long, Sudworth

James Sudworth got his full 3,100 chips into the pot preflop with {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}, poised for a double against an opponent with {A-Clubs} {J-Spades}.

The first four cards off the deck were safe for Sudworth ({6-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {A-Hearts}), but the tournament-ending {J-Clubs} peeled off on the river to send him out the door. A giddy Sudworth could only chuckle at the river card and wish his table luck as he hurried to beat the break-time rush out the door.
