Former main event champ Robert Varkonyi called Vanessa Rousso’s raise of 1,500 and the two saw a flop of 5 The J The 3 Varkonyi had around 140,000 in chips after the hand. Rousso was still going strong with around 175,000. Morrison On Life Support Kirk Morrison limped into the pot in middle position and three others came along for the ride. The flop ran 4 Seat 7 turned up Q
We caught up wit the action with a short stacked player already all-in and there was over 48,000 in the middle.

He showed K Kirk Morrison Bounced Kirk Morrison moved all-in after the player under-the-gun raised. The player on the button called Morrison’s all-in and the player under-the-gun made it 12,275.

The player under-the-gun showed 6 Aces held up in the three-way all-in all Morrison’s WSOP has come to an end. Cantu Scores a Knockout Brandon Cantu had an opponent all-in with A The board ran out 9 Pavilion Room Coverage Tony Ma Wins a Pot On a board reading A Prahlad Friedman Free-rolling There was massive confusion and lots of debating around a table in the Pavilion Room. The story goes that Prahlad Friedman was in the big blind and was squared off in a hand versus the small blind. The flop came jack-high and Friedman’s opponent bet into him. Friedman called and there was heavy betting on the turn. On the river, the small blind bet 80,000, which was more than enough to put Friedman all in. Friedman went into the tank for minutes before his opponent finally called the clock on him. The floor came over and started giving the countdown. With three seconds left, Friedman announced call and everyone at the table heard him. However, apparently the floor didn’t hear the call, continued the countdown to zero and announced that Friedman’s hand was dead. Friedman’s opponent tabled top two and Friedman didn’t turn over his dead hand. Friedman said that his opponent had the best hand. Allegedly, Friedman should have been eliminated but from the ruling was still alive and free-rolling the rest of the way.
