Red Section Review (Part 2)

Some more news from the Red Section of the Brasilia Room and it involves more bust-outs.

The former World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Greg Raymer is out courtesy of a double clothesline delivered by Matt Stout and Jeff James. Stout delivered most of the damage after Raymer and Stout got it all in on a board of {10-} {9-} {6-} (rainbow) with Raymer holding {7-} {7-} and Stout holding {K-} {K-} (Raymer check-raising to 850 before calling a 2.5k shove). Then he got his final few chips all-in with {K-} {10-} and Jeff James eliminated him holding {A-} {8-}.

With 3 WSOP bracelets and $1,608,189 in WSOP cashes, John Cernuto, just loves the series, but the former air traffic controller is going to have to try again next time after dive bombing out of this one. He has been eliminated by Akmaral Atygozhina after she flopped a set of tens. We believe Cernuto hit an open ended straight draw that never got there.

Last but not least we lost Fernando Brito. Brito has earned nearly $1 million playing live poker, with most of his success coming in European fields. Brito was eliminated by Jason Maurice in a three way all-in. Maurice held {Q-} {Q-}, Brito {8-} {8-} and the third opponent {A-} {J-}. Maurice eliminated both opponents and now has 12,000.
