Tran took the pot and was at 170,000. However, since Tran exposed his hand, he was given a one-round penalty. Siegel Eliminated Jordan Siegel moved all in for 268,000 and he was looked up by Jared Ingles in the hijack. Siegel turned over A9 but was trailing Ingles’ QQ. The board ran out K53103 and Siegel was eliminated. David Benyamine Doubles Up Evan Lamprea raised from the cutoff and David Benyamine put in another raise from the button. Lamprea moved enough chips into the middle to put Benyamine all in and he made the call. Benyamine: KK Benyamine was dominating and the flop fell Q94, giving Benyamine four to a flush.

Chan: JJ Chan fell victim to the aces again and the board ran out 76357 and Chan was eliminated. Grinder Making The Charge Duy Le raised to 40,000 preflop and Getty Mattingsley popped it to 105,000.

Habib: QQ The race was on as Habib’s ladies were a slight favorite, until the flop came down QJ10, giving Dlugozima a Broadway straight. Habib was not out of it, however, as he had flopped a set. The turn was the J, giving Habib a full house and a lock on the hand. The river was the 3 and Habib doubled to 570,000. Dlugozima was left with just 64,000 and was eliminated a few hands later. Erkenov Doubles Up Diogo Borges raised from the button and Ismail Erkenov repopped. The two went back and forth until Erkenov found himself all in for 684,000. Borges: AK Erkenov needed to fade a three outer and the flop fell J75. He was still ahead but still needed to fade an ace or running cards. The turn was the 9 and Borges was down to needing an ace to score the knockout. But the river was the 5 and Erkenov doubled to 1.4 million. Borges was hammered down to 160,000. Lamprea Forced Out Evan Lamprea raised to 38,000 preflop and Pavel Milanov made the call from a couple of seats over. The two players then saw a flop of 764 and Lamprea fired 52,000. Milanov made the call and the turn was the A. Lamprea fired another barrel, this one for 127,000. Milanov then decided to fire back, moving all in for 500,000. That caused Lamprea to muck his hand and he was down to 3.3 million. Milanov improved to 830,000. Baker Gives Up The Double David Baker raised to 36,000 and Russell Rosenblum made it 110,000 to go from the button. Baker put in one last raise for just 8,000 more, putting Rosenblum all in. Rosenblum: K9 Baker held two live cards but both players caught a piece of the A97 flop. Rosenblum stayed ahead when the board finished off J and 2 and he doubled to 275,000. Baker was at 717,000.

Chan: KK Chan was on the wrong end of the cold deck and the board ran out 105474. Pisano became the chip leader with 4.4 million while Chan was at 800,000.

Here were their hands: Villard: 33 Villard was in bad shape against the overpair and for possible flush draws were covered. The board ran out A10410J and Dorfman scored the knockout with jacks-full. He was at 1.45 million. Keikoan Flushed Away We didn’t catch the action, but Matt Keikoan found himself all in after the board had run out AJ364. Matthew Pearson decided to look him up and he turned over KQ for the second nut-flush. Keikoan could only show 74 for a lesser flush and he was shown the door. He took home $48,847 for his efforts in the Main Event and it was his third cash of the 2010 WSOP. He won a bracelet in Event No. 29 ($10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship). Pearson was up to 846,000 after the knockout. Affleck Dumped By The Ladies Jared Ingles opened for 35,000 and Daniel Chamberlain made it 85,000 to go from the hijack seat. Matt Affleck then made it 200,000 from the button and only Chamberlain stuck around. The flop then fell 863. Chamberlain checked to Affleck, who fired 225,000. Chamberlain made the call and the 3 came on the turn. Chamberlain checked again and Affleck slowed down as he did the same. The river was the 7 and both players checked again. Chamberlain then tabled QQ and Affleck mucked. Chamberlain was at 2.55 million after the hand while Affleck slipped to 2.45 million.

Benyamine was at risk for his last 1,400,000 with the Q10 and LeFrancois held the AJ. The dealer dealt out the 3109 flop and Benyamine would need runners. The 9 on the turn left Benyamine drawing dead and he finished in 58th place.

The 2 peeled off on the turn and Le checked over to Thorson who bet 2,000,000. Le was in a tough spot and thought for a few minutes before folding AQ face-up on the table. Thorson showed his 1010, giving him a set of tens to move to 9,500,000 in chips.

Jetten Crippled and Eliminated It was a battle of the blinds and Peter Jetten somehow found all of his chips in the middle with the 95 against Dag Palovic, who had AQ. Palovic was actually all-in for 1,030,000, with Jetten covering him by 15,000. The flop was JQQ and after the 4 fell on the turn, Jetten was drawing dead. He was eliminated on the next hand, but another player went out before him, earning an extra $30,000. Thorson Forces Grinder to Fold Tony Dunst raised to 130,000 and was three-bet by William Thorson to 415,000. Michael Mizrachi made it 915,000 which got a quick fold from Dunst. Thorson quickly grabbed a stack of 100,000 denomination chips and slid them out into the middle and announced he was all-in. Mizrachi went deep into the tank for quite a while. Thorson eventually called the clock on Mizrachi. Mizrachi eventually elected to fold, but Thorson said he could pick a card to see. After Mizrachi picked one, Thorson revealed the Q and raked in a pot that would send him to 10,600,000 in chips. Affleck Wins One After a limp from William Thorson and Michael Mizrachi, Matt Affleck raised to 230,000. Thorson made the call and Mizrachi folded. It was checked to the river as the board came out J910108 and Thorson fired 210,000. Affleck made it 775,000 and after a while, Thorson let his hand go. Affleck chipped up to 7,800,000 after stacking his newly found chips. Bolt Eliminated Christopher Bolt got all his money in the middle preflop against Benjamin Statz. Statz held the Q10 and Bolt tabled the AK The fop came 762, seemingly pretty harmless for Bolt. The 4 on the turn gave Statz a flush draw, however, which got there on the river with the 7 and Bolt was eliminated. Kostritsyn Eliminated On the last hand before the break, Bryn Kenney raised to 160,000 under-the-gun and Alexander Kostritsyn three-bet to 575,000 on the button. Kenney moved all-in and Kostritsyn quickly made the call. Kenney was in a world of hurt when he tabled his AQ and was up against Kostritsyn’s KK. The flop brought some real drama as it came J73, giving Kenney a flush draw along with an overcard. The turn was a brick as the dealer dealt the 3, but the 5 completed Kenney’s flush. After a count down of the chips, Kostritsyn was covered by Kenney and Kostritsyn was gone in 52nd place.

He then turned over his A-5, thinking he was all in. The floor was called and Tran’s hand was ruled live. The flop then came down A54 and Driscoll mucked immediately. Tran took the pot and was at 170,000. However, since Tran exposed his hand, he was given a one-round penalty. Siegel Eliminated Jordan Siegel moved all in for 268,000 and he was looked up by Jared Ingles in the hijack. Siegel turned over A9 but was trailing Ingles’ QQ. The board ran out K53103 and Siegel was eliminated. David Benyamine Doubles Up Evan Lamprea raised from the cutoff and David Benyamine put in another raise from the button. Lamprea moved enough chips into the middle to put Benyamine all in and he made the call. Benyamine: KK Benyamine was dominating and the flop fell Q94, giving Benyamine four to a flush. It also took away a few of Lamprea’s outs and he was left drawing dead when the 9 came on the turn. The river was the Q and Benyamine doubled to 800,000 while Lamprea slipped to 2.58 million. Levy Drops A Pot Gualter Salles raised to 50,000 preflop and Adam Levy made it 142,000 to go from the small blind. Salles called and the flop fell A53. Salles fired 100,000 and Levy made the call. The turn was the 10 and Salles bet 300,000. Levy released his hand and dropped to 945,000. Johnny Chan Eliminated Johnny Chan and pocket aces did not get along today. He lost a huge pot when he ran his kings into Robert Pisano’s aces during the first level and had a similar situation when he busted out. Chan open-shoved for 550,000 from the cutoff and Jonathan Driscoll snapped him off from the button. The blinds folded and the cards were turned over. Chan: JJ Chan fell victim to the aces again and the board ran out 76357 and Chan was eliminated. Grinder Making The Charge Duy Le raised to 40,000 preflop and Getty Mattingsley popped it to 105,000. Mizrachi made the call from the small blind and Le also tagged along. The flop fell 1084 and everyone checked. The turn was the K and Mattingsley fired 176,000. Both opponents called and the river was the 5. Le bet 500,000 this time and Mattigsley fled. Mizrachi decided to look him up after a session in the tank and Le tabled J9 for a whole lot of nothing. Mizrachi showed 77 for just sevens, but it was good for the pot and he was at 3.9 million.

Blake Kelso — $48,847 Player Twitter Accounts Jean-Robert Bellande Big Hands: Habib Hits The Ground Running Hasan Habib shoved for 264,000 on the very first hand of the day. Action folded to Paul Dlugozima in the hijack and he made the call. Habib: QQ The race was on as Habib’s ladies were a slight favorite, until the flop came down QJ10, giving Dlugozima a Broadway straight. Habib was not out of it, however, as he had flopped a set. The turn was the J, giving Habib a full house and a lock on the hand. The river was the 3 and Habib doubled to 570,000. Dlugozima was left with just 64,000 and was eliminated a few hands later. Erkenov Doubles Up Diogo Borges raised from the button and Ismail Erkenov repopped. The two went back and forth until Erkenov found himself all in for 684,000. Borges: AK Erkenov needed to fade a three outer and the flop fell J75. He was still ahead but still needed to fade an ace or running cards. The turn was the 9 and Borges was down to needing an ace to score the knockout. But the river was the 5 and Erkenov doubled to 1.4 million. Borges was hammered down to 160,000. Lamprea Forced Out Evan Lamprea raised to 38,000 preflop and Pavel Milanov made the call from a couple of seats over. The two players then saw a flop of 764 and Lamprea fired 52,000. Milanov made the call and the turn was the A. Lamprea fired another barrel, this one for 127,000. Milanov then decided to fire back, moving all in for 500,000. That caused Lamprea to muck his hand and he was down to 3.3 million. Milanov improved to 830,000. Baker Gives Up The Double David Baker raised to 36,000 and Russell Rosenblum made it 110,000 to go from the button. Baker put in one last raise for just 8,000 more, putting Rosenblum all in. Rosenblum: K9 Baker held two live cards but both players caught a piece of the A97 flop. Rosenblum stayed ahead when the board finished off J and 2 and he doubled to 275,000. Baker was at 717,000. Lodden With The KO Johnny Lodden raised from the cutoff and Richard Kirsch moved all in for 165,000. Lodden looked him up and they turned over their cards. Lodden: A9 Lodden jumped ahead in the race when the flop fell AQ4. The turn was the 2, giving Kirsch outs to a wheel. But the 10 bricked off and Lodden scored the knockout. He was at 2 million after the hand. Hougaard Doubles Through David Peters Picking up the action after the flop, Jesper Hougaard moved all in for 205,000 after the flop came down KK10. David Peters looked him up with QQ. But Hougaard had outflopped Peters as he tabled KJ for trips. The turn was the 4 and the river was the 4, filling up Hougaard and doubling him to 600,000. Peters was down to 580,000. Chan Takes One, Then Takes One On The Chin Picking up the action after the turn, the board read J832. Johnny Chan fired 85,000 and Robin Bergren popped it to 205,000. Chan made the call and the river was the 9. Chan kept his foot on the gas pedal as he led out with 250,000. Bergren had enough and threw his hand away. Chan took down the pot and he was at 2,850,000. A few hands later, Robert Pisano and Chan got into a raising war that saw Pisano all in for 2.19 million. Chan made the call and the ultimate cooler was shown. Chan: KK Chan was on the wrong end of the cold deck and the board ran out 105474. Pisano became the chip leader with 4.4 million while Chan was at 800,000. Dorfman Ejects Villard David Villard was all in preflop and Randy Dorfman put him at risk. Here were their hands: Villard: 33 Villard was in bad shape against the overpair and for possible flush draws were covered. The board ran out A10410J and Dorfman scored the knockout with jacks-full. He was at 1.45 million. Keikoan Flushed Away We didn’t catch the action, but Matt Keikoan found himself all in after the board had run out AJ364. Matthew Pearson decided to look him up and he turned over KQ for the second nut-flush. Keikoan could only show 74 for a lesser flush and he was shown the door. He took home $48,847 for his efforts in the Main Event and it was his third cash of the 2010 WSOP. He won a bracelet in Event No. 29 ($10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship). Pearson was up to 846,000 after the knockout. Affleck Dumped By The Ladies Jared Ingles opened for 35,000 and Daniel Chamberlain made it 85,000 to go from the hijack seat. Matt Affleck then made it 200,000 from the button and only Chamberlain stuck around. The flop then fell 863. Chamberlain checked to Affleck, who fired 225,000. Chamberlain made the call and the 3 came on the turn. Chamberlain checked again and Affleck slowed down as he did the same. The river was the 7 and both players checked again. Chamberlain then tabled QQ and Affleck mucked. Chamberlain was at 2.55 million after the hand while Affleck slipped to 2.45 million. Bellande Shows The Respect Jean-Robert Bellande and Jesper Hougaard each saw a flop of AA3. Both players checked and the 7 fell on the turn. Bellande led for 65,000 and Hougaard made the call. The 6 came on the river and Bellande fired 125,000. Hougaard then moved in for 458,000 and Bellande took a tank session. He eventually mucked AK face up as he dropped to 700,000. Hougaard would move up to 1.02 million after he knocked out Claudio Baptista on the very next hand.

Lodden tabled the AJ and was in horrible shape to stay alive versus the AK of his opponent. However, the board ran out Q66Q10 and Lodden remained in the tournament via a chop. He was at 1,600,000 after the hand and still the short stack. Gianni Direnzo Eliminated Robert Pisano opened to 280,000. Gianni Direnzo called from the small blind. The flop came Q63 and Pisano bet 410,000. Direnzo moved all in for 2,350,000 and Pisano called. Pisano tabled the AQ and was way ahead of the 86 of Direnzo.

However, the next hand LeFrancois got the rest of the chips. He opened to 300,000 and Kenney shoved for 850,000. LeFrancois snap-called and exposed the AA. Kenney tabled the 22 and needed help.

He made a good decision since Eskandar showed the 99, giving him top set. David Benyamine Eliminated At the end of the last hour, David Benyamine was eliminated. He raised from the button and got into a preflop raising war with Pascal LeFrancois until all the money got into the middle. Benyamine was at risk for his last 1,400,000 with the Q10 and LeFrancois held the AJ. The dealer dealt out the 3109 flop and Benyamine would need runners. The 9 on the turn left Benyamine drawing dead and he finished in 58th place. LeFrancois Streaking Jonathan Driscoll opened on the button to 145,000 and was met with a three-bet to 455,000 from Pascal LeFrancois from the small blind.

Mizrachi led out for 300,000 on a flop of K109. Le made the call and Racener folded before Thorson raised to 975,000. Mizrachi folded after two minutes in the tank and Le made the call. The 2 peeled off on the turn and Le checked over to Thorson who bet 2,000,000. Le was in a tough spot and thought for a few minutes before folding AQ face-up on the table. Thorson showed his 1010, giving him a set of tens to move to 9,500,000 in chips.

Jetten Crippled and Eliminated It was a battle of the blinds and Peter Jetten somehow found all of his chips in the middle with the 95 against Dag Palovic, who had AQ. Palovic was actually all-in for 1,030,000, with Jetten covering him by 15,000. The flop was JQQ and after the 4 fell on the turn, Jetten was drawing dead. He was eliminated on the next hand, but another player went out before him, earning an extra $30,000. Thorson Forces Grinder to Fold Tony Dunst raised to 130,000 and was three-bet by William Thorson to 415,000. Michael Mizrachi made it 915,000 which got a quick fold from Dunst. Thorson quickly grabbed a stack of 100,000 denomination chips and slid them out into the middle and announced he was all-in. Mizrachi went deep into the tank for quite a while. Thorson eventually called the clock on Mizrachi. Mizrachi eventually elected to fold, but Thorson said he could pick a card to see. After Mizrachi picked one, Thorson revealed the Q and raked in a pot that would send him to 10,600,000 in chips. Affleck Wins One After a limp from William Thorson and Michael Mizrachi, Matt Affleck raised to 230,000. Thorson made the call and Mizrachi folded. It was checked to the river as the board came out J910108 and Thorson fired 210,000. Affleck made it 775,000 and after a while, Thorson let his hand go. Affleck chipped up to 7,800,000 after stacking his newly found chips. Bolt Eliminated Christopher Bolt got all his money in the middle preflop against Benjamin Statz. Statz held the Q10 and Bolt tabled the AK The fop came 762, seemingly pretty harmless for Bolt. The 4 on the turn gave Statz a flush draw, however, which got there on the river with the 7 and Bolt was eliminated. Kostritsyn Eliminated On the last hand before the break, Bryn Kenney raised to 160,000 under-the-gun and Alexander Kostritsyn three-bet to 575,000 on the button. Kenney moved all-in and Kostritsyn quickly made the call. Kenney was in a world of hurt when he tabled his AQ and was up against Kostritsyn’s KK. The flop brought some real drama as it came J73, giving Kenney a flush draw along with an overcard. The turn was a brick as the dealer dealt the 3, but the 5 completed Kenney’s flush. After a count down of the chips, Kostritsyn was covered by Kenney and Kostritsyn was gone in 52nd place.

He was at 1.45 million. Keikoan Flushed Away We didn’t catch the action, but Matt Keikoan found himself all in after the board had run out AJ364. Matthew Pearson decided to look him up and he turned over KQ for the second nut-flush. Keikoan could only show 74 for a lesser flush and he was shown the door. He took home $48,847 for his efforts in the Main Event and it was his third cash of the 2010 WSOP. He won a bracelet in Event No. 29 ($10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship). Pearson was up to 846,000 after the knockout. Affleck Dumped By The Ladies Jared Ingles opened for 35,000 and Daniel Chamberlain made it 85,000 to go from the hijack seat.

After a fold from the big blind, Driscoll made it 1,025,000 to go and LeFrancois moved all-in for 4,725,000. Driscoll made the call. LeFrancois tabled QQ and Driscoll showed JJ. The dealer dealt out the board of 8A3510 and Driscoll slipped to 1,700,000 and LeFrancois moved to 9,300,000 which puts him near the top of the chip counts. Brikis Crippled, Eliminated Action folded to Christopher Bolt on the button and he moved all-in for 785,000 and Josh Brikis made the call from the big blind. Brikis tabled Kd10s and was slightly behind the AJ of Bolt. The board ran out A84Q9 and Brikis was down to just 45,000 in chips.

The 2 peeled off on the turn and Le checked over to Thorson who bet 2,000,000. Le was in a tough spot and thought for a few minutes before folding AQ face-up on the table. Thorson showed his 1010, giving him a set of tens to move to 9,500,000 in chips. Costner Pressures Kostritsyn Joseph Cheong raised in early position to 140,000 and Alexander Kostritsyn called in middle position before Gabe Costner called from the big blind. The flop came 967 and Costner checked over to Cheong, who bet 240,000. Kostritsyn and Costner made the call and the 10 came on the turn.

Cheong folded and Kostritsyn went into the tank for a while before eventually deciding to let it go and keep his 3,900,000 for another hand. Costner cracked the 10 million chip mark with the pot. Jetten Crippled and Eliminated It was a battle of the blinds and Peter Jetten somehow found all of his chips in the middle with the 95 against Dag Palovic, who had AQ. Palovic was actually all-in for 1,030,000, with Jetten covering him by 15,000. The flop was JQQ and after the 4 fell on the turn, Jetten was drawing dead. He was eliminated on the next hand, but another player went out before him, earning an extra $30,000. Thorson Forces Grinder to Fold Tony Dunst raised to 130,000 and was three-bet by William Thorson to 415,000. Michael Mizrachi made it 915,000 which got a quick fold from Dunst. Thorson quickly grabbed a stack of 100,000 denomination chips and slid them out into the middle and announced he was all-in. Mizrachi went deep into the tank for quite a while. Thorson eventually called the clock on Mizrachi. Mizrachi eventually elected to fold, but Thorson said he could pick a card to see. After Mizrachi picked one, Thorson revealed the Q and raked in a pot that would send him to 10,600,000 in chips. Affleck Wins One After a limp from William Thorson and Michael Mizrachi, Matt Affleck raised to 230,000. Thorson made the call and Mizrachi folded. It was checked to the river as the board came out J910108 and Thorson fired 210,000. Affleck made it 775,000 and after a while, Thorson let his hand go. Affleck chipped up to 7,800,000 after stacking his newly found chips. Bolt Eliminated Christopher Bolt got all his money in the middle preflop against Benjamin Statz. Statz held the Q10 and Bolt tabled the AK The fop came 762, seemingly pretty harmless for Bolt. The 4 on the turn gave Statz a flush draw, however, which got there on the river with the 7 and Bolt was eliminated. Kostritsyn Eliminated On the last hand before the break, Bryn Kenney raised to 160,000 under-the-gun and Alexander Kostritsyn three-bet to 575,000 on the button. Kenney moved all-in and Kostritsyn quickly made the call. Kenney was in a world of hurt when he tabled his AQ and was up against Kostritsyn’s KK. The flop brought some real drama as it came J73, giving Kenney a flush draw along with an overcard. The turn was a brick as the dealer dealt the 3, but the 5 completed Kenney’s flush. After a count down of the chips, Kostritsyn was covered by Kenney and Kostritsyn was gone in 52nd place.

However, the next hand LeFrancois got the rest of the chips. He opened to 300,000 and Kenney shoved for 850,000. LeFrancois snap-called and exposed the AA. Kenney tabled the 22 and needed help. No assistance came as the board ran out A6498. Kenney was eliminated in 28th place as day 7 came to and end.

He made a good decision since Eskandar showed the 99, giving him top set. David Benyamine Eliminated At the end of the last hour, David Benyamine was eliminated. He raised from the button and got into a preflop raising war with Pascal LeFrancois until all the money got into the middle. Benyamine was at risk for his last 1,400,000 with the Q10 and LeFrancois held the AJ. The dealer dealt out the 3109 flop and Benyamine would need runners. The 9 on the turn left Benyamine drawing dead and he finished in 58th place. LeFrancois Streaking Jonathan Driscoll opened on the button to 145,000 and was met with a three-bet to 455,000 from Pascal LeFrancois from the small blind. After a fold from the big blind, Driscoll made it 1,025,000 to go and LeFrancois moved all-in for 4,725,000. Driscoll made the call. LeFrancois tabled QQ and Driscoll showed JJ. The dealer dealt out the board of 8A3510 and Driscoll slipped to 1,700,000 and LeFrancois moved to 9,300,000 which puts him near the top of the chip counts.

He doubled up the next hand is up to 160,000 but was eliminated shortly thereafter. Thorson Climbing John Racener raised to 140,000 under-the-gun and William Thorson made the call, as well as Michael Mizrachi and Duy Le from the blinds. Mizrachi led out for 300,000 on a flop of K109. Le made the call and Racener folded before Thorson raised to 975,000. Mizrachi folded after two minutes in the tank and Le made the call. The 2 peeled off on the turn and Le checked over to Thorson who bet 2,000,000. Le was in a tough spot and thought for a few minutes before folding AQ face-up on the table. Thorson showed his 1010, giving him a set of tens to move to 9,500,000 in chips. Costner Pressures Kostritsyn Joseph Cheong raised in early position to 140,000 and Alexander Kostritsyn called in middle position before Gabe Costner called from the big blind.

Cheong folded and Kostritsyn went into the tank for a while before eventually deciding to let it go and keep his 3,900,000 for another hand. Costner cracked the 10 million chip mark with the pot. Jetten Crippled and Eliminated It was a battle of the blinds and Peter Jetten somehow found all of his chips in the middle with the 95 against Dag Palovic, who had AQ. Palovic was actually all-in for 1,030,000, with Jetten covering him by 15,000. The flop was JQQ and after the 4 fell on the turn, Jetten was drawing dead. He was eliminated on the next hand, but another player went out before him, earning an extra $30,000. Thorson Forces Grinder to Fold Tony Dunst raised to 130,000 and was three-bet by William Thorson to 415,000. Michael Mizrachi made it 915,000 which got a quick fold from Dunst. Thorson quickly grabbed a stack of 100,000 denomination chips and slid them out into the middle and announced he was all-in. Mizrachi went deep into the tank for quite a while. Thorson eventually called the clock on Mizrachi. Mizrachi eventually elected to fold, but Thorson said he could pick a card to see. After Mizrachi picked one, Thorson revealed the Q and raked in a pot that would send him to 10,600,000 in chips. Affleck Wins One After a limp from William Thorson and Michael Mizrachi, Matt Affleck raised to 230,000. Thorson made the call and Mizrachi folded. It was checked to the river as the board came out J910108 and Thorson fired 210,000. Affleck made it 775,000 and after a while, Thorson let his hand go. Affleck chipped up to 7,800,000 after stacking his newly found chips. Bolt Eliminated Christopher Bolt got all his money in the middle preflop against Benjamin Statz. Statz held the Q10 and Bolt tabled the AK The fop came 762, seemingly pretty harmless for Bolt. The 4 on the turn gave Statz a flush draw, however, which got there on the river with the 7 and Bolt was eliminated. Kostritsyn Eliminated On the last hand before the break, Bryn Kenney raised to 160,000 under-the-gun and Alexander Kostritsyn three-bet to 575,000 on the button. Kenney moved all-in and Kostritsyn quickly made the call. Kenney was in a world of hurt when he tabled his AQ and was up against Kostritsyn’s KK. The flop brought some real drama as it came J73, giving Kenney a flush draw along with an overcard. The turn was a brick as the dealer dealt the 3, but the 5 completed Kenney’s flush. After a count down of the chips, Kostritsyn was covered by Kenney and Kostritsyn was gone in 52nd place.

Left In The Deck: Slow and Sluggish Compared to the earlier levels, play has dragged on slowly for the majority of level seven. It seems that the post dinner rush has been skipped and that the players are content with surviving the day. PokerStars TV Take a look at last night’s PokerStars party in Leicester Square. It was a night filled with poker players and an open bar, so a good time was had by all. That’s good news for the hotel, which will enjoy a few more nights of complete occupancy before the series clears out mid-next week.

Finishing High - Finishing LowSep 04, '09 Johnny Lodden had a roller coaster day. Among chip leaders, if not the chip leader around lunch time today, he ends the day on the outside looking in to the tournament area. Roland de Wolfe had an opposite story. He had a fantastic day, ending with just under 90,000 in chips. Earlier today, Arnaud Mattern, who is also no longer in this event, spoke highly of his table mate, commenting that he was playing very well and deserved the chips. Player Tags: Roland de Wolfe, Johnny Lodden Lodden Flops a StraightSep 04, '09 Johnny Lodden checked a board of 753K from the hi-jack and so did seat 7 from the cut off, while 11,000 sat in the pot.
