Woodward Chopped Down

Jacob Rasmussen, Matt Woodward, and a third player saw a flop of {7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The action checked to Woodward, who fired 2,000, and Rasmussen check-raised to 6,600. The third player folded, and Woodward called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts}, and Rasmussen led out for 12,000. Woodward studied the Dane for the better part of two minutes, then grabbed two orange T5,000 chips and two yellow T1,000 chips, and tossed them forward to make the call.

The {9-Hearts} completed the board, and Rasmussen fired 25,000 - more than two thirds of his stack. Woodward released, and Rasmussen raked in the pot.

Break it Up!

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

The players are on their second break of the day. This one is thirty minutes rather than twenty minutes - the floor has to color up all of the green T25 chips, making this one of the biggest color-ups of the year.

Cards in the Air!

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

The cards are back in the air here in the Brasilia Room (they've been in the air for a few minutes over in the Amazon Room), and we'll play one more 120-minute level then take a 90-minute dinner break.

Ye Gone

Ye Wang, who began the day with over 120,000 chips, has been eliminated from the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event.

Wang was all in for his last 40,000 or so with {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} on a board of {k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Marco Traniello had him drawing dead holding {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and a meaningless {3-Diamonds} completed the board.

Traniello is up to 90,000 chips, while Wang is gone.
