Big Hands and Storylines:
 Kyle Kloeckner Eliminates Nathan Doudney
Tim West Raised to 35,000 pre-flop and was called by Kyle Kloeckner, Nathan Hagens, and Nathan Doudney. On a flop of 6 33 , West checked, Kloeckner checked, and Hagens checked. When action came around to Doudney, he didn’t think for too long before betting 100,000. West quickly folded, but Klockner, perhaps suspecting Doudney of a steal, raised to 300,000. Hagens folded and Doudney quickly moved all-in for his final 60,000. Kloeckner, priced in, made the call with K JJ9. Doudney turned over a full house: 6 375. Kloeckner, drawing to only a jack, had scarcely asked his tablemates if any of them had folded a jack when the dealer flipped up the turn: J! Things had turned upside-down for Doudney and now he was looking for the last trey in the deck to win the pot. Not only was the river not the case trey to save Doudney, but it was the case jack.
I guess that answers Kloeckner’s question.
After raking in the pot and stacking his chips, it appears that Kloeckner is our new chip leader with 865,000.
Thomas Wahlroos Eliminates Tino Lechich
Thomas Wahlroos raised to 35,000 pre-flop and Francisco Azares made it 110,000. Tino Lechich said, “Alright. You’ve got one.” Before moving his final 50,000 all-in. Wahlroos chimed in, “You’ve got two,” and, covered by Azares’s bet, moved all-in. The three revealed their hands:
Azares: KK52
Lechich: AKJJ
Wahlroos: AA102
The flop was a very safe one for Wahlroos: 993. The turn 6 was nearly as innocuous, though it gave Azares a gutshot straight-draw. When the river blanked, Wahlroos was jolted up to 190,000 while Azares was left with only 90,000; Azares would be eliminated only a short time later.
Michael Guzzardi Eliminates Thomas Wahlroos
Michael Guzzardi raised to 25,000 from early position and was called by three players: Thomas Wahlroos in late position, and Layne Flack and Kevin O’Donnell in the blinds. The flop came Q106 and the blinds checked. Guzzardi bet 65,000 and Wahlroos almost instantly moved his stack of 163,000 into the pot. Flack insta-folded but O’Donnell had a much tougher decision to make. “I wish I knew the math like you guys. I should have gone to school,” said O’Donnell. Eventually O’Donnell folded, and that decision turned out to be the right one as Guzzardi called and showed AJ87 for the nut flush. Wahlroos showed QQ77 for top set, and was hoping to fill up on a later street. Unfortunately for Wahlroos the turn and river came 8 and 2 and, not long after his double-up, he was eliminated. Guzzardi now has 810,000 in chips.

Big Hands and Storylines:
 Jacobo Moving Toward Final Table Number Three
Jacobo Fernandez just brushed aside another pesky impediment standing in the way of his third final table at this year’s World Series. This time the impediment came in the form of Loren Klein. Fernandez and Klein got their chips all in on a flop of K73. Fernandez showed KKJ4 for top set while Klein tabled AAQ6 for a pair of aces. The turn and river were the 3 and 6 and just like that Jacobo made another addition to his growing stack of chips. He currently has 450,000.
Forrest on Fire
Ted Forrest just added to his growing stack in a hand against Frank Vizza. Forrest raised to 25,000 from late position and Vizza called from the button. The flop came AQJ and Forrest checked. Vizza bet 45,000 and Forrest called him. Both players checked the T turn and Forrest bet out big – a pot-sized bet – on the river 2. Vizza tanked, focusing on the newly dealt river card, but eventually laid his hand down. That pot takes Forrest up to a commanding 380,000.
Azares Does in the Powell
Ted Forrest limped in late position and Julian Powell and Francisco Azares in the blinds joined him in seeing a 764 flop. Powell bet 20,000, leaving himself only about 5,000 behind. Azares, short stacked himself, made a pot-sized raise that put him all-in. Forrest mucked his hand and the two showed their cards:
Powell: AJ87
Azares: AK54
Powell had top pair and a jack-high flush draw along with 3 outs to a straight. Azares though had the nut flush draw along with an open-ended straight-draw. The turn was the 6 and Powell was still ahead with two-pair, but a 2 on the river sent the Aussie packing. By adding Powell’s few chips to his collection, Azares is now up to 120,000 on the day.

On a flop of Q46, Kyle Kloeckner pushed 21,000 into the pot. Django Young raised all in and Kloeckner made the call. Both players then turned up their hands.
Kloeckner: AA710
Young: QQA6
Young flopped a set of ladies, turning Kloeckner's bullets. Young also had one of Kloeckner's outs in the A. The turn was the 6 and the river brought the case 6, doubling up Young with his queens full house. Kloeckner was down to 280,000.
Ankenmann Sends One Packing
Jerrod Ankenman called Varahram Vardjavand's all in bet and the players turned over their hands.
Ankenman: AA98
Vardjavand: AA62
Both players showed aces, so their other cards would likely decide the pot. The flop came J87, giving Ankenman a gutshot straight draw. The turn made his straight when the 10 showed up. The river was the 8 and Akenman knocked out a player and improved his stack to 270,000.
Fernandez Takes a Pot
The player in seat 5 raised to 10,000 and Jacobo Fernandez made the call. The flop came down A73. Seat 5 checked and Fernandez bet 5,000. His opponent called and the turn was the Q. Both players checked and the river brought the 6. Both players checked again and then they turned their hands.
Fernandez: QQ88
Seat 5: 1010AJ
Fernandez turned a set of queens and took down the pot.

Big Hands:
Full House, Sir?
"Do you have a full house," whispered Jared Hamby to his opponent, Layne Flack. Hamby had just led out on the river on a board of KJ10AA for 8,000, and Flack had raised him to 30,000, almost the rest of his remaining stack. Flack threw back his head and laughed. "That's a question I'd never thought I'd get asked right there," said Flack. Hamby finally elected to call, and Flack showed the bad news: AJ for aces full. After the hand Flack was up to close to 190,000, while Hamby had just about 6,500. He was eliminated a short while later.
Battle of the Surnames
Kyle Bowker moved all in for his last 9,000 and was called by Kyle Kloeckner. It was pretty much a race, with Bowker holding AKQ10 versus Koecker's 9877. The flop was bad for Bowker, as Kloeckner hit his set on a board of 872, although it did give him outs to a flush. But the 8 had him drawing pretty well dead. Kloeckner, meanwhile, is second in the tournament in chips with about 345,000 in chips.
 Adams Can't See the Forrest for the Trees
Ted Forrest raised to 5,000 preflop. The player in seat 1 called, as did Dan Adams. The flop came A83 and all players checked. The turn was the 7 and Adams checked to Forrest. He proceeded to fire 15,000. Seat 1 made the call and Adams came over the top for his entire stack. Forrest made the quick call and seat 1 got out of the way. The hands were then turned up.
Forrest: AAJ3
Adams: KJ109
Forrest had top set while Adams had possibilities galore. He had an open ended straight draw to go with his gutshot straight flush draw. But the river was the 8, breaking the lead of Adams' drawing pencil and putting Forrest on a boat with the eight's doing the paddling with the rest of Adams' chips as passengers.
Wahlroos Forces Out Fernandez
Jacobo Fernandez made it 5,000 to go preflop. Thomas Wahlroos made the call and the flop came 1035. Both players checked and the turn brought the 3. Wahlroos took the initiative and fired 15,000 into the pot and Fernandez mucked. Wahlroos moved up to 237,000 in chips.
