Phil Laak's funky eye wear hasn't done him any harm and he's currently sat with 80 big blinds.

After a raise to 850 and a three-bet to 1,600, Loren Klein called and so did the initial raiser. On the ![]()
![]()
flop, the three-bettor made it 2,400 to go and only Klein called to see the
turn. The opponent checked and Klein won the pot with a 3,300 bet. He has taken over control of the table and hopes for yet another deep run similar to the Pot Limit Omaha Event #3.
Nivel: 8
Ciegas: 200/400
Ante: 50
Freddy Deeb doubled to 3,700 but is still incredibly short.
Deeb, in the big blind, called a raise of 650 from the cutoff and then open-shipped his stack into the middle on a ![]()
![]()
flop, a bet that received an instantaneous call from his opponent.
It was ![]()
versus ![]()
, Deeb holding the lower of the pairs. The
on the turn was no help to Deeb, but the
was as it improved him to a set and won him the pot.
The player whose aces were cracked jumped from his seat and put his hands on his head in apparent disbelief.
"You still have money," said Deeb, "What are you moaning about?"
"First my jacks and now my aces?"
"You'll miss me when I'm gone, you'll be bored!" said Deeb, which drew a chuckle from several of the players at the table except the player with the cracked aces, of course.
Greg Kelley is gone from the tournament and judging from his Twitter feed he's had a tough day at the felt, one that saw him fold a lot!
When Kelley finally got a legitimate hand in pocket queens, they failed to stay best in a coinflip with ace-king and he is now busted.
Slowly but surely the field is getting cut down but there is no indication whatsoever on how many players are left. What we do know is that there are only ten tables remaining in the Pavilion room and the below players are the most familiar faces left there.
Jake Cody is absolutely flying at the moment and is up to 25,000 despite buying into the Millionaire Maker late. It's not all good news though because the talented Brit is having to share a table with $111,111 One Drop High Roller champion Tony Gregg and fellow Brit Ben "f3nix35" Dobson.
Elsewhere, Rhys Jones is cruising with 19,100 while Maria Ho is in a similar position with 19,300.
On our to check how play in the Pavilion Room was going, we noticed Matt Stout walking in the corridor with a group of friends, presumably busted. Upon checking out Twitter feed, we found confirmation of Stout's exit.

Busto #WSOP8 (b) 0/5, -$6,500 for #WSOP2014. $1k NL tomorrow while I sweat the Kings/Hawks game & start making travel plans. #LETSGORANGERSFollow @MattStoutPoker
Olivier Busquet is also no longer in the tournament, he too was heading for the warm Las Vegas night air.
