Jamshidi Cracks Aces

Elton Beebe raised to 21,000 in the small blind and Sirous Jamshidi called in the big blind. The flop was {K-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Jamshidi checked and Beebe went all in. Jamshidi called for 148,000. He showed {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for Beebe. The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, but the river was the {6-Hearts}, giving Jamshidi the flush and climbing his stack to 340,000. Beebe is down to 260,000.

Binger of Good Fortune?

Michael Binger, who finished third in the WSOP Main Event in 2006 and tied a record for cashes in last year's Series, is here sweating John Murphy in his heads up battle at Table #1 versus Tom Roupe.

Cooler Not Too Cool (for Beebe)

At Table #4, Sirous Jamshidi limped from the small blind/button and Elton Beebe checked. The flop came {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Beebe bet 22,000, Jamshidi raised to 62,000, Beebe reraised all in, and Jamshidi called with his last 180,000.

Jamshidi {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Beebe {7-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Both had flopped two pair, but Jamshidi's was the better two. The turn was the {A-Spades} and the river the {9-Hearts}, and Beebe is now down to 99,000. Jamshidi has a commanding lead with 501,000.

Love for JJ

John Juanda
John Juanda
All night, several of Tim West's friends have been coming around to wish him luck as he has battled his way down to heads up versus John Juanda.

Just now, a dealer came over to express his support to Juanda.

"Finally, someone comes to wish me good luck!" said Juanda.
