A player in middle position had raised to 1,050. The player in the hijack three-bet, but we didn't catch how much it was for. David Daneshgar then four-bet to 4,150. The original raiser folded, but the hijack called.
The flop came down 
and the hijack bet 3,500 with Daneshgar making the call. Both players checked through the 
on the turn as well as the 
on the river.
Daneshgar showed 
and his opponent mucked, sending Daneshgar up to 37,000.
On a flop of 
, Shawn Sheikhan got his remaining chips all in and was called by his opponent in Seat 2.
Sheikhan: 
Seat 2: 
Sheikhan was in great shape to double up. The turn was the 
and all he needed to do was dodge a queen on the river. The dealer burned and revealed the 
. Sheikhan doubled on the hand and is now sitting with around 17,000.
A player raised from middle position to 800, and it folded around to the small blind who reraised to 3,000. Then Eddy Sabat made it 7,200 to go from the big blind. The original raiser got out, but the small blind pushed it up once more to 16,000, putting himself all in. Sabat made the call.
Sabat showed 
and his opponent 
. The flop came 
, and Sabat was still in front. The turn then brought another , giving Sabat the boat and making the river card no matter.
We've lost another player, while Sabat pushes up to 68,000.
We didn't catch the swan song, but the good people at ESPN have reliably informed us that Olga Varkonyi, wife of 2002 winner Robert, has been eliminated from the Main Event.
Tommy Vedes has had a pretty awful day so far, and he must have been terribly disappointed to get his last 4,500 or so in with 
and find himself unlikely to double up against his opponent's . Duly the board came down 
for a chop, and Vedes remains dangerously short.
Catching the action on the river with the board reading 
and the pot sitting at only 3,000, we witnessed a bet of 2,000 from Anh Van Nguyen before his opponent made it 6,250.
Nguyen then bumped it to 22,000, and after a lengthy amount of deliberation, his opponent made the call leaving himself just 150 in chips.
Nguyen tabled his 
for a flush to collect the pot and move to 98,200 as his opponent flashed his 
before sending into the muck.
The WSOP Main Event is generally a joyous occasion for most players, one filled with cheer and camaraderie. That doesn't seem to be the case over at Table 39 where the floorman was called after a verbal altercation.
We're not sure what the problem was but the floorman told the two players in question: "If either of you say anything more to the other, I'm giving you a two round penalty. You got it?"
One of the men pointed at the other and said, "Tell him that."
"I'm telling you too," the floorman stated. Things at Table 39 have been quiet ever since.
Joe Hacham recently took a hit and was down to 9,000 after doubling up a player at his table. It wasn't long before he tried to double up himself. All the chips were in the middle preflop between Hachem and his opponent.
Hachem: 
Opponent:
Hachem was looking good through most of the hand as the board ran out 
but the on the river was enough to give his opponent the best hand and send Hachem to the rail.
Fittingly enough, Steve Dannenmann, who finished runner-up to Hachem in the 2005 Main Event busted right around the same time as Hachem
Spanish pro Victor "Mendi" Mendicuti limped from early position before calling a raise to 1,200 from William Thorson just one seat down.
On the flop, both players checked leading to an turn where Thorson led for 1,400. Mendicuti called.
The river came the 
, and Mendicuti turned aggressor by leading for 3,500. Thorson slammed his call onto the table, only to be shown for the spade flush.
Thorson drops to 24,500, whilst Mendicuti continues to slice and dice his way through the competition like a psychotic butcher with 78,000.
Upon hearing the announcement of the final numbers and confirmed prize pool, one of the players asked his table if they want to chop. Unfortunately, he was unable to get the table to agree, nevermind the whole room.
