2011 World Series of Poker Europe
Two levels down, potentially five to go. It's getting to be that tense time of the tournament, and our remaining field has been sent off for a 20-minute break.
The big board shows just 78 players left in the WSOPE Main Event right now, and play is progressing rather quickly through the first two levels. The bubble will be arriving shortly, though, and we'd expect to see the big slowdown soon enough. We'd be surprised if we don't get there in the next level.
We need to get down to 16 players for tomorrow's television production, so we're going to play that far tonight if possible. If we're successful, we'll return at 3:00 PM tomorrow. If not, we'll play seven full levels tonight, and the 17+ players who survive will have to return at noon instead.
There are just a couple minutes left in Level 14.
Matt Waxman opened with a raise from early position and Dylan Wilkerson called from the cutoff seat to see the flop come down 

. Waxman bet 8,000 and Wilkerson called.
The turn added the
and Waxman bet 16,000. Wilkerson called again.
The river was the
and Waxman shipped all in for 63,000. Wilkerson tank-called.
Waxman tabled the 
for trip tens and Wilkerson mucked his hand.

and a heart redraw. Weisner held the 
for a set of tens.
The river smacked the felt with the
and gave Weisner the win with a full house. She had O'Shea covered and eliminated him to move to 600,000 in chips, which is currently good enough for the chip lead.
