Dinner Break

We've reached the end of level 14, and players have taken off for their 60-minute break. Even though we made it down to 27 players just prior to the break coming, they've been sent on their way prior to redrawing for the final three tables. We anticipate that happening upon their return.

See you back about 7:55 p.m. local time when action resumes

White Whacked

Adam White
Adam White

Limit

Adam White raised from UTG+1, and only Jonathan Tamayo called from the big blind. The flop came {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Tamayo checked, White bet, Tamayo check-raised, and White called with his remaining chips.

White held {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, while Tamayo had a pair with {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and river the {8-Clubs}, and White is out in 28th place. Tamayo chips up to 173,500 as we approach the dinner break.

Queso Sliding

Jim Collopy
Jim Collopy

Limit

Jim Collopy raised to open the pot, and Cyriel Dohmen reraised in position. Collopy called, and the two of them took a flop of {J-Spades} {K-Spades} {2-Clubs}. Collopy check-raised to two bets, and Dohmen bet-called.

Both men checked the turn {10-Hearts}, and Collopy check-called a bet on the {6-Diamonds} river, turning up {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. Dohmen tabled {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}, and second pair was good enough to take the pot.

Dohmen - 125,000
Collopy - 110,000

Santoro Takes Care of Aleksa

Limit

Brian Aleksa was all in for his last 18,000 preflop with {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, and he seemed content to race against Michael Santoro's {3-Hearts} {3-Clubs} for double or nothing.

The dealer gave Aleksa nothing on a board of {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}, and he can't do better than ace-high. Santoro's threes hold to earn him the elimination pot, working his stack up to 185,000 in the process.

He Wasn't Bluffing

Steven Kelly
Steven Kelly

Limit

Dwyte Pilgrim raised from under the gun, and Steven Kelly just called the two bets from the cutoff. The others folded, and the flop came {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Pilgrim checked, Kelly bet, and Pilgrim called. The turn was the {Q-Hearts}, and once again Pilgrim checked, Kelly bet, and Pilgrim called.

The river brought the {10-Clubs}. Pilgrim tossed out a bet. "Just in case you were bluffing," he said as he did. Kelly raised, then Pilgrim three-bet. Kelly's four-bet finally slowed Pilgrim down, and he just called, tabling {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for the rivered set. Kelly showed his cards -- {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} -- he'd just cold-called Pilgrim's preflop raise, and turned a set himself.

The 21-year-old Kelly remains in the hunt for his second WSOP bracelet in a week (after winning Event #39 just a couple of nights ago.) He bumps up to 250,000 on that one. Pilgrim slips to 175,000.

Bell Rung

Chris Bell

No-Limit

Chris Bell was all in before the flop with {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and behind Jonathan Tamayo's {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

The board came {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, and Bell is out. Tamayo has 190,000 now.

The quick pace we saw yesterday has continued so far today as well -- just 30 remain.
