Action folds around to Bartholdi, who instantly calls, showing the 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. His opponent cringes and reveals the 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3], for a lower set. The turn brings the 2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], bringing no help to Bartholdi's opponent. The river solidifies Bartholdi's victory, bringing the last ten in the deck, 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and giving Bartholdi quads. Bartholdi now has approximately $11,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 16:45:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Featured Table Listing[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The ESPN featured table is table 67, which consists of:[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 1 - Robert Burns[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 2 - Jenny Kang[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 3 - James Olson[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 4 - Scotty Nguyen[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 5 - David Toneman[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 6 - William Mosey[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 7 - Michael Chow[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 8 - Randall Hughes[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 9 - Beth Shak [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 16:47:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Vos Wins a Blind Showdown[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]A player from the button raises $600 into Mark Vos' big blind. Voss re-raises another $2,000, and the button makes the call. The flop comes A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and it is checked around. The turn comes Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Vos checks to the button who makes it $1,600 to go. Vos calls, and the river brings the Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Once again, Vos checks into the button who this time bets $2,500. Vos takes a moment to ponder the call and to study the bettor. Vos decides to look him up and makes the call. The player on the button immediately mucks his hand, and Vos rakes the pot without ever having to reveal his own hand. Apparently Vos just wanted to keep him honest, but unfortunately for his opponent, he was lying the entire time. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 16:47:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Staggered Break Part II[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The first half of the field is returning, and the second half is going on break.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 16:51:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]"The Grinder" Builds His Stack[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a board showing Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi bets $1,100 and Ben Roberts calls. The turn puts the 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]on the board and both players check. The river brings the A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Mizrachi bets to $1,600. Roberts raises to $3,200 and Mizrachi calls, showing 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for a flush. Roberts mucks and Mizrachi takes down the pot to put his stack at $18,850. Roberts is now down to $3,850. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 16:59:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Oldest Entrant Victor Golden Eliminated[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a board showing 8 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], with $3,000 already in the pot, the player in the small blind position, John Luu, checks. A player in mid-position bets $500 and Victor Golden and the player on the button call. Luu raises to $4,500 more and Golden calls for his last $100. The mid-position player also calls, creating a side-pot and leaving two active players. The turn puts the 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]on the board and Luu shoots out with a $4,000 bet, which the mid-position player calls. The river brings the 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Luu moves all-in for his remaining $6,050, causing the mid-position player to fold. Luu takes down the side-pot and flips up 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for a full house, while Golden shows K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for top pair. Victor Golden, the oldest player in the World Series of Poker at 91, is eliminated from the tournament. Luu is now sitting with $27,150.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 17:09:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Hoang Moves up to $30,000[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]With $12,000 already in the pot before the turn, John Hoang ($15,000 before the hand) leads at the A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]board for $3,000. His opponent moves all-in and has Hoang covered. Hoang wastes no time in calling with the nut flush, A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. His opponent turns over A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]which leaves him needing the board to pair. The 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]falls on the river and Hoang has doubled up to $30,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 17:12:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]All Players Back From Break[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]All players are now back from break and playing in level 3 with blinds at $100-$200. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 17:16:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Bill Chen Triples Up[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Three players, including Bill Chen (who has two bracelets this year), are all-in on a flop of 9 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. One player flips up pocket 7's for a set while another player shows pocket 9's for a better set. Chen, with fewer chips than both other players, shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the nut flush draw. The turn delivers the 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for Chen, giving him the mortal nuts. Chen will have to avoid having the board pair on the last card to triple up and survive. The river brings the 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Chen rakes in the main pot to triple up and now sits with $25,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 17:27:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tobey Maguire Eliminated[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tobey Maguire raises to $600 preflop and his opponent re-raises to $1,600. Maguire calls and the flop comes A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Maguire checks and his opponent bets $1,200, which Maguire calls. The turn is the J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Maguire pushes all-in for his remaining $2,000. His opponent calls and shows Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3], while Maguire flips up A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The river puts the 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]on the board, giving Maguire two pair, which is not enough against his opponent's set of Queens and Maguire is eliminated from the tournament. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 17:28:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Norm MacDonald Rakes a Monster Pot[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Norm MacDonald raises $800 before the flop from a late position.

The turn comes 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and MacDonald bets $5,000. Once again, the cut-off calls the bet, and the river brings the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. MacDonald immediately pushes all-in, and he has his opponent covered. The player from the cut-off position asks Norm to count his chips. After a few moments of intense deliberation, MacDonald's opponent makes the call. MacDonald flips over A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and his opponenet mucks his hand. MacDonald's trip Aces were plenty good enough to rake a monster pot and eliminate a player from the tournament. After this hand, MacDonald now has $39,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 17:31:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Aces..... Again??[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players at Shawn "SprStoner" Glines table are beginning to complain about his good fortune.

He is quickly called by an opponent to his left, and Phifer flips over 4 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. His opponent shows a pair of Kings in the hole. The board comes 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3], giving Phifer a set on the flop to crack his opponent's pair of Kings. Phifer more than doubles up this hand, and now has $12,000.

His opponent shows the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3], for a pair and inside straight draw. The turn brings the A[/SIZE][SIZE=3], which leaves Chan's opponent needing a jack to make a straight. The river brings a 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3], however, and Chan rakes the pot, ending with approximately $18,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 28 17:58:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Gus Hansen Doubles His Stack[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Gus Hansen raises to $600 under-the-gun and a player in mid-position calls.
