Shannon Elizabeth Makes a Nice River Bet
There was 3,500 in the pot and a board of 10
10
2 3 sitting on the table when Shannon Elizabeth bet 2,500 from the cutoff. The big blind went into the tank and then raised to 6,100. Elizabeth thought for a little bit and then made the call. The river fell 10
and Elizabeth put in a bet that big enough to put her opponent all in. He decided to muck and Elizabeth won the pot to grow her stack above 40,000.
Victor Ramdin Eliminated
Victor Ramdin and Jamie Rosen have been battling for most of the day, but Rosen just had the last laugh. Ramdin got the last of his chips into the middle on the turn, but he quickly found out that it was all over for him when the two players flipped over their cards:
Ramdin: A 8
Rosen: A 10
Board: A A 10 8 8
Ramdin was eliminated after the hand.
Faraz Jaka Takes a Hit
The hijack bet 1,000 and Faraz Jaka made the call from the big blind. The flop fell 6 3 3 and the hijack bet 1,500. Jaka made the call and then both players checked the K on the turn. The A followed on the river and Jaka bet 3,200. The hijack raised to 12,100 and Jaka went into the tank for a few minutes. He eventually made the call but his opponent flipped over K 8 for the flush. Jaka was knocked down to 32,000 after the hand.

Early Tussles at Table 35
Table 35 has been a favorite haunting spot for tournament reporters early in the day here with four well-known players mixing things up. Here are a few of the early pots:
Maria Ho limped under the gun and Isaac Baron raised to 400 UTG+1. Faraz Jaka reraised to 1,200 and Ho reraised again to 3,300. The flop fell K 7 6 and Ho fired out 2,600. Jaka went into the tank and reraised to 5,900. Ho thought for a moment bu decided to muck.
In the next battle between Ho and Jaka, the board read K 10 7 when Ho bet 400 from the cutoff and Jaka made the call from the big blind. The 5 fell on the turn and Ho bet 525. Jaka thought for a quick moment but decided to muck.
Three players paid a 200 price of admission preflop and then checked down the 10 10 9 Q 5 board before Maria Ho bet 450 UTG+1. The small blind made the call and Jose Barbero mucked on the big blind. Ho flipped over Q J, which was good enough to make the small blind muck.
Medic vs. Rousso
There was 2,350 in the pot and a flop of 9 7 4 sitting on the table when the cutoff bet 2,000. Nenad Medic made the call under the gun and Vanessa Rousso then raised to 6,000 UTG+1. The cutoff mucked and Medic made the call after spending some time in the tank. The turn fell Q and Medic moved all in for 10,875. Rousso took her turn thinking things over with a little over 20,000 behind and eventually decided to muck.
Daniel Negreanu Makes a Big Laydown
Daniel Negreanu bet 1,000 from the small blind and the cutoff made the call. The flop fell 10 5 4 and Negreanu bet 1,200. His opponent made the call and the K fell on the turn. Negreanu bet 3,000 and the cutoff went into the tank. He decided to raise to 8,600 and Negreanu made the call after spending some time in the tank himself. The Q fell on the river and Negreanu checked. The cutoff bet 12,000 and after some more time in the tank Negreanu decided to muck.

Maria Ho is Good with Queens
Faraz Jaka was all in preflop on the cutoff and Amit Makhija had him covered in late position. Their cards:
The chip leader curse continues. Faraz Jaka was at one time in this tournament, the far and away chip leader. Now he is out after getting it all in preflop with pocket sixes against Vanessa Rousso’s pocket tens.
