Big Hands:
Freddy Deeb Busted By Keven Stammen
Three players were in a pot that saw a flop of K
Q
4
hit the felt. Keven Stammen fired 2,200 and Freddy Deeb made the call, as did another player. The turn was the 10 and everyone checked. The river was the Q and Deeb led out with 6,000. The other player in the hand folded, but Stammen repopped it to 37,000 total. Deeb only had 11,000 behind and made the call.
Deeb then tabled A
J for a Broadway straight, but Stammen showed KQ for a full house and Deeb’s main event was over.
Chris Moorman Gone
The player in the small blind limped in and Chris Moorman moved all in. The small blind called and the players tabled their hands.
Small Blind: AK
Moorman: JJ
Board: A4437
Moorman was outflopped and could not catch up the rest of the way and his main event was cut short on day 1.
Mark Vos Ousted
Mark Vos raised to 700 preflop and action folded around to Peter Hedlund. He reraised to 3,000 and Vos came back over the top, moving in for 8,450. Hedlund called and showed down AK. Vos tabled QQ and things were looking good for Vos. But the turn brought another ace to the party and Vos couldn’t hit his set on the river and he was eliminated.
Jerry Yang Doubles Up
A player in middle position raised to 850 and Jerry Yang all in 3,925. Action folded around to the middle position player. He made the call and Yang showed KQ. The middle position player showed 22 and the flop fell QQ3.
The player in the big blind then announced that he had folded a deuce. The turn was the K, filling up Yang and the river was the case 2. Yang doubled to 8,000.
Prerry Friedman Cracks Aces, Eliminates Opponent
Perry Friedman took a flop heads up against his opponent and the flop fell 998. After a series of bets and raises all of the money got in and the cards were turned face up.
Friedman showed K9, which was miles ahead of the AA of his opponent. The turn was the 7 and the river was the 8, giving Friedman a full house and the pot.
Nines Are No Good For Alexander
Jason Alexander raised from the hijack position and was called by the small blind. The flop was A104 and both players checked. The turn was the 6 and the small blind checked again.
Alexander decided it was time to bet and put out 1500 into the middle. He was met with a check-raise to 3500 from the small blind. After some thought, Alexander put in the call. The river was the 8 and both players checked.
Alexander tabled the 99, but the small blind turned over AQ and took the pot.
Veldhuis With A Stone Cold Bluff
Over at the feature table, the flop came down 432 and the action was checked to Lex Veldhuis. He fired 2,300 and his opponent made the call. The turn was the 9 and action was checked to Veldhuis again. He fired 6,000 more chips into the pot and his opponent stuck around. The river was the A and action was checked again to Veldhuis. He then moved all in for over 40,000, having his opponent covered. This induced a fold and Veldhuis then tabled K6 for absolutely nothing. He raked in the pot and was at 70,000.
Yang Doubles Up Again
After being moved to a new table, Jerry Yang made it 900 to go preflop and was three-bet by Steve Paul-Ambrose to 2550. Yang called and they saw a flop of 2K8 and Steve Paul-Ambrose put out enough to put Yang all in.
Yang put in the call and said “This is the hand I won the World Series with,” said Yang as he tabled the 88, giving him middle set. Steve Paul-Ambrose showed the 99 and needed to improve to take the pot.
The turn was the K and the 5, doubling up Yang to 17,000.

Lauren Kling Grows her Stack
Laurence Houghton's flush was beaten by a house (Arnaud Mattern style) and he left the event before the other half returned to their seats.
Play has almost come to a hault as day 3 attempts to find its final table.
After a few hands were Jens Kyllonen was slowly chipping away at Peter Hedlund, it finally came to a head.
Jussi Nevanlinna shoves all-in for 164,000 and Peter Hedlund calls, as does Jens Kyllonen.
