Day: 1
The turn was the and the river the to give Berg the elimination and a nice boost to his stack. He now has around 35,000 chips.
The board ran out to give Phillips the double up.
Showdown:
Riccobono:
Failla:
Bykofsky:
Lightning struck on the flop as the dealer peeled off a third , vaulting Bykofsky into the lead. The rest of the board failed to help either of the all-in players, and Bykofsky's set of queens took down this huge pot.
With one blow, she eliminates two dangerous players, chipping herself way up; she is dangerously close to the 100,000-chip mark now.

Amidst a flurry of action at the World Series of Poker, there were two final tables running. The first was the $1,000 Ladies Event. Svetlana Gromenkova outlasted a field of 1,190 lovely ladies to capture the gold bracelet. Up next was the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. That event drew an even 1,000 players, and it was Jason Young storming to the top to take home his first bracelet.
Fast forward nine months almost to the day. Both players are in our field here at Caesars, and with a recent table break, they are now seated together. The WSOP-C motto of "First the ring, then the bracelet," isn't exactly the route that these two chose. Now though, they're looking to add to their bling factor by picking up the smaller but still highly-coveted gold circuit ring.
Apart from those two, there are just two other bracelet winners remaining: Mike Sica and Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy.
Inselberg now has 38,000 while Monteavaro's night is over.

He is up to 83,000 while Rhett Butler has hit the rail.
The turn brought the and Young checked. Both players checked behind him.
The river was the and Young checked. The second player checked before the final player bet out 6,000 -- a pretty hefty bet at that. Young took a few moments before making the call. The other player folded.
Young was shown by his opponent. "I flopped two pair," claimed Young as he mucked his hand.
