Our PokerNews team caught the action on a flop of 
, where an opponent led out for 1,050. Svetlana Gromenkova raised to 2,500, but then the opponent came back with a re-raise worth 6,000. Gromenkova shoved for 22,800 and her opponent snap-called all-in for 16,700.
Gromenkova: 
Opponent: 
Despite having flopped a set of tens, the player had flopped Broadway, so needing the case ten or the board to pair, the river 
was not what she was looking for.
On a flop of 
, Phil Gordon bet 1,100 only to have his opponent raise to 2,800. Gordon made the call and then check-called a bet of 2,800 on the 
turn. Both players then checked the 
river and Gordon flipped over 
for trips.
It was good enough to take down the pot, and Gordon chipped up to 37,000.
The board read 
and about 3,500 sat in the middle. Sean Getzwiller's opponent fired a bet of 1,500 from Seat 9, and Getzwiller leaned forward to look past the dealer and get a better idea of his opponent's remaining stack. He then pushed out a raise to 5,100.
His opponent hesitated just a second, then folded his 
face up. "Is that a call?" Getzwiller grinned, and the dealer pushed him the pot.
Getzwiller -- who won Event No. 8 ($1,000 NLHE) -- now sits with about 32,000.
Although we aren't sure how he lost most of his chips, we caught Theo Tran all in for around 1,500 holding 
against another player's 
on a board reading 
. Tran's set of threes helped him double up to 3,050.
On the next hand the hijack raised to 675 and Tran moved all in again on the button. The small blind called while the original raiser folded.
Tran: 
Small Blind: 
The board ran out 
and Tran doubled for a second time to get back up to 6,400.
Cedric de Rivasson opened for 500 from under the gun and action passed to Ray Romano in the big blind. Romano raised to 2,500 and Rivasson repopped it to 6,500. Romano moved all in for his remaining 13,000 and Rivasson called.
Romano: 
Rivasson: 
The board ran 
and it seems that Brad Garret owes Rivasson a massage from a last longer prop bet between Garret and Romano.
Ellen Deeb, the oldest player in the field has been eliminated after she was all in on the turn of a board holding 
against the cutoff's . Deeb needed to catch a lucky lady to survive but the river was the and her dream was over, sadly too fast.
Rumor around the Amazon Room is that Phil Hellmuth will be making his signature late arrival. According to Hellmuth's Twitter: "Making my 'Entrance' to the 2011 WSOP main event today at 5:00 pm! No hat, no sunglasses...Hint: will be a 'Network' entrance."
The hint is certainly intriguing . . . perhaps some sort of Facebook/Social Network/Mark Zuckerberg sort of thing, but that is just a guess. One way or the other, we'll find out soon enough.
Speaking of Hellmuth, he currently sits atop the 2011 WSOP POY Leaderboard, as seen below:
