Chidwick and Margereson Exit Again

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

It has not been a good day for U.K.'s Stephen Chidwick, and Scott Margereson at the felt after both players used up both their bullets to no avail.

Both players reentered before the first break of the day and have not been able to run up a stack post-break either.

Also departed is Mark Teltscher, Helio Neves, and Frederik Brink.

Katz Doubles Through Perkins

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

The completed board was down {10-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, and the all-in triangle was in front of Cary Katz. Also in front of him was his hand {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for trip jacks. His opponent was Bill Perkins, and he had made the call with his hand in the muck, he passed over a stack of chips to Katz and was left with 58,000 to play with.

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ivan Leow raised to 6,000 from the cutoff, and Chi Zhang called on the button. Jean Ferreira moved all in from the small blind for 15,700 and Leow called. With the decision back on Chi Zhang, he moved all in, which got Leow to fold reluctantly.

Jean Ferreira: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Chi Zhang: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Zhang saw his pocket pair was dominated by Ferreira's pocket eights, but the flop hit Zhang's out, and he improved to a full house on the turn. There was to be no miracle eight on the river for Ferriera, and he departed from the event.
