"Don't Forget Your Sticker"

O'rly?
O'rly?
Joe Beevers is out after entering a pre-flop raising war with Thomas Dwan. By the looks of it, Dwan raised it up from mid position, only for the Hendon Mobber to repop from the small blind. Dwan pushed all-in, putting Joe to a decision for his remaining chips, which totalled around 35k.

Joe ultimately decided to make a stand and called with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} but was understandably disappointed to be greeted by the sight of the American Airlines, {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

The {3-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} board was a helpless one and Joe was done. As he collected his belongings and went to leave, Annie Duke said "don't forget your sticker" pointing at his little hendonmob badge on the felt, but something tells me that was the least of his worries.

On his way out, I kind of got in the way a little and Joe and I jockeyed from side to side momentarily before Joe was able to pass. "Get me out of here," were Joe's parting words, so I don't think he was too chuffed when the camera crew and interviewer ambushed him.

Kenny Tran Doubles Through Henrik Waltersson

Kenny Tran, slapped silly with bad beats on Day 2, got a nice boost to start the day today, picking up {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} against Henrik Waltersson's {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, all the money going in on the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop. Though Johnny Chan offered the table 20-1 against the aces holding, he got no customers, and the {5-Diamonds} on the turn sealed the double-up for Tran and left Waltersson drawing dead.

Even More Chippy Chip Counts

Today could be a short day as we've lost yet another table, leaving just the two up here on the balcony area.

One table looks particularly menacing with a highly eclectic range of old and new school players with the likes of Dwan and Obrestad locking horns with Joe Beevers and Dave Colclough.

Johannes Korsar -- 115,700
Ian Frazer -- 37,100
Jeff Buffenbarger -- 53,200
Joe Beevers -- 47,500
Annette Obrestad -- 162,500
Aleksander Vathne -- 275,200
Thomas Dwan -- 87,500
Dave Colclough -- 99,400

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's Gus Hansen

Back in the chiplead with 465K
Back in the chiplead with 465K
Over at the featured TV table, Gus Hansen might have won the largest pot of the WSOPE main event. He doubled through chipleader Janne Lamsa in the first hand that Lamsa played since he was moved the the table.

I caught the action on the flop of {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} with about 50,000 in the pot. Gus Hansen fired out 50,000 and Janne Lamsa moved all in. Hansen called.

Hansen: {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Lamsa: {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Hansen was ahead with two pair against Lamsa's flush draw (and second pair). The turn was the {J-Spades} and Lamsa was drawing dead after The Great Dane boated up. The river was the {2-Spades} and Hansen doubled through Lamsa and took over the chiplead. Hansen increased his stack to 465,000. Lamsa slipped to 150,000.

Somewhere in the UK, Johnny Rotten just said, "Wow, that's a big @#$^% pot."

Jeffrey Lisandro Busted Holding Aces...By Quads!

Lisandro:  Even Aces don't beat quads
Lisandro: Even Aces don't beat quads
In what looked preflop like a cold deck for button Marco Traniello, he raised and then called big blind Lisandro's re-raise all in.

Lisandro showed: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} (He'd just prior to this doubled up with Aces, too - but "last time it was one red one black, now it's two red.")

Traniello showed: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Flop: {2-Spades}{K-Spades}{4-Spades}
Turn: {K-Diamonds}
River: Completely irrelevant

Stephen Rynne Eliminated

Rynne Doesn't Wynne
Rynne Doesn't Wynne
After getting into a preflop raising war with Patrick Jouven, the final decision rested on Rynne, who was put to the test for all his chips. He eventually made the call, saying he was, "Gambling," but his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} was up against Jouven's {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. Two more Kings coming on the flop and river cemented the deal, and Rynne hit the rail.

Andreas Bergren Doubles Through Jani Sointula

After a very rough start to his day, Andreas Bergren finally caught a bit of luck. He moved all in over the top of Jani Sointula's opening raise for 20,000 or so, Sointula insta-calling with {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and Bergren in bad shape with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The flop, though was {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, instantly bringing Bergren a full house and leaving Sointula drawing thin. The turn was the {Q-Diamonds}, the river was the {8-Clubs}, and Bergren doubled up to 43,000.
