Jenny from the Bloch

Oh well, at least snoopy got to use his pun
Oh well, at least snoopy got to use his pun
Yippeeeeeee!

Whilst it's elation for me for the opportunity to use my pun, it's chagrin for Andy Bloch who has just been eliminated by poker vixen Jennifer Harman.

On a {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop, Bloch moved all-in for circa 10k with {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} only to be called by Harman and her {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. A raggy {4-Spades} and {Q-Hearts} on the turn and river respectively and that was all she wrote for Bloch who is sent hurtling to the rail.

A chip off the old Bloch would be an understatement... groan!

Can anyone Stop the Grinder?

The Sportsman......

The Grinder should really be called the Bulldozer, now that he has amassed a big stack he is putting on a clinic on playing with a chip lead. He is entering most of the pots and reraising people off made hands. When this boy has chips he is unstoppable and he has plenty of chips.

That said, he has just doubled up a very short Paul Wasicka, but still sits on a good 60,000.

Enter, Gus

THE FIFTY-- Gus Hansen finally arrived at the casino with just a few minutes remaining in the second level and has taken the seat to Greg Raymer's right that was recently vacated by Noel Furlong. His stack sits at a remarkably healthy 17,650 after being blinded off for nearly four hours.

One of our eagle-eyed readers told us that Hansen was involved in a $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha game on Full Tilt during the Main Event's early hours. Guess it was too juicy to leave...

Action from the Feature Table......

From The Empire.....

Being that the event is being run over multiple venues, the Tournament Staff are spread fairly thin today, and as a result could not spare a staff member to announce the feature table. Always happy to assist when asked, I have been calling the action for the past hour, and I can tell you - it is all Phil Hellmuth. He has been involved in almost every pot and is running over the table. The only player able to keep up with him is Marco Traniello (current pot count sees Marco leading 3-0). Phil has built his stack to just over 45,000.

Dwyer Flushed Out

THE SPORTSMAN -- John Dwyer has been eliminated by player-on-a-roll Mike 'The Grinder' Mizrachi. He added Dwyer's 5,450 to his stack after raising out Yilmaz after Dwyer moved the last of his chips over the line on a flop of {3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Heads up and on their backs:

Mizrachi showed: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Dwyer showed: {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The turn paired the Six for the all-in player, but it was followed by the {9-Hearts} and he went, out-flushed, to the rail.

Fashion Report: The Fifty

THE FIFTY-- We can always count on Thomas Wahlroos to look put-together, but he's really doing a bang-up job of it today, in a perfectly tailored black suit with a blue shirt and a gold tie. Gary Jones went with a James Bond-esque look as well, though his shock of lime green hair doesn't quite fit that mold. Heather Wells is making her major tournament debut all in white, her short-sleeve fitted blazer emblazoned with a black Bodog sticky patch, and her eyes hidden behind designer sunglasses that would probably cost me a week's salary. She also has a Chanel lipgloss sitting next to her chip stack, the top of the wand decked out in Swarovski stones. Evidently Ms. Wells has her own company, "H2Bling" that specializes in encrusting items in the shiny crystals. I wonder if she'll do my cell phone if I ask nicely...

The most egregious fashion offense in the room, however was committed by one of Ms. Wells' tablemates. I'll leave out his name, but his choice of a zebra-printed sweater is making my eyes itch.

At least no one is wearing Crocs.
