Ted Forrest threw in 5,000 in an effort to complete, but since it was under half the raise, he was bound to a call as Joe Tehan and Levon Torosyan came along also. Tehan led the betting on all streets before seventh was checked down.
The 15-event WSOP.com Online Championship Series is drawing to a close, but there's still one event left on the schedule — and it's a biggie. The $215 buy-in WSOP Online Championship Main Event kicks off at 3 p.m. today in Nevada, and participants will be competing for a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Players can buy in directly for $215 or play a last-chance satellite for a chance to grab a huge piece of the pie. Registration and reentries will remain open until 5 p.m. PST, so there's still plenty of time to get in on the action!
Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and the 2014 World Series of Poker for Day 3 of Event #30: $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low!
Two days ago 588 players took to the felt to form a $793,800 prizepool, and now just 12 players remain with all eyes on the $190,538 first prize and WSOP gold bracelet.
Eric Kurtzman leads the final group into this last day after amassing an impressive 490,000-chip stack. Nipping at his heels however are Calvin Anderson (356,000), Sanjay Pandya (307,000), and Joe Tehan (285,000).
Six-time WSOP bracelet winner Ted Forrest is still in the mix and chasing his second bracelet for the series while cash-game specialist Melissa Burr will be eyeing her second final table of the series. 2007 Aussie Millions runner-up Jimmy Fricke is yet to taste WSOP gold, but after ending Day 1 as chip leader, and finishing sixth overall on Day 2, his confidence will be sky high as he makes a push for glory.
