Pellegrino Bets Out Coultes

We caught up to the action to find a flop of {2-Clubs} {7-Spades} {2-Diamonds} spread in front of two players. The first was Charles Coultes, who is one of several players participating in Onnit Last Sticker Standing Contest. If Coultes, or anyone else sporting the patch happens to be the last person alive in the Main Event, they'll walk away with a cool $5,000.

The second player in the hand was Bryan Pellegrino. Coutles checked to Pelligrino and he bet out 1,150. Coutles called and the turn paired the board for a second time with the {7-Clubs} .

Coultes checked for a second time and Pellegrino kept on firing with a 2,600 bet. Coultes thought for a moment before mucking his hand and awarding Pellegrino the pot. Coultes is still sitting on a healthy stack of 60,000, putting him in contention for the Onnit grand prize.

Top Top For Ho

[user139916]

Maria Ho opened to 750 in the cutoff and was called by the player in the big blind.

The player in the big blind proceeded to check-call bets of 800 on the {9-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {2-Spades} flop and 1,600 on the {8-Hearts} turn before leading for 2,650 on the {3-Hearts} river. Ho called and upon seeing her opponent table {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} , she turned over {A-Clubs} for a pair of nines with a better kicker.

Conway and Channing Check It Down

OHairDJ

Thomas Conway opened for 700 from middle position and action folded around to Neil Channing, who three-bet to 1,625. It was folded back to Conway, who chucked in a call for a heads-up pot.

Both players then proceeded to check down on the {8-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} flop, {J-Diamonds} turn and {6-Diamonds} river. Conway tabled {5-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} for a baby flush and Channing mucked without showing.

Channing and Conway have both had a fairly successful series this year. Channing had a runner-up finish in Event 43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em and Conway made two final tables, one in Event 44: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em and another in Event 50: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em.

Danzer Dusts One

We caught up to find George Danzer calling the all in of a short stacked opponent. Danzer held {J-Spades} {8-Spades} for top pair on a flop of {8-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {3-Clubs} . Danzer's opponent was all in with {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} for middle pair and needed help.

He did not receive it, however, as the turn and river fell {4-Clubs} and {2-Spades} respectively. Danzer dragged in the pot as he reduced the field by one player. He's currently sitting on a stack of roughly 74,000 in chips.

Selbst Muscles Out Opponent

The button raised to 700 preflop and Vanessa Selbst called from the small blind. The big blind also came along for the ride and we had three players to the flop. The dealer spread three cards in the middle of the table and they looked like this, {8-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} .

It was here on the flop that Selbst came out swinging, betting 1,400. The big blind folded and the button flat called.

The {A-Spades} on the turn saw another Selbst bet, this time for 2,700. Again the button paid the river admission price and the dealer felled the last card. The {9-Spades} made its appearance on the felt and for the third time in a row Selbst bet out, this time for 3,700. The button took his time, draining 35 seconds or so off the clock before depositing his cards in the muck.

No Day 2 For Jorgensen

Pokerstars Pro Theo Jorgensen was recently eliminated. Jorgensen stormed onto the scene at the 2008 WSOPE, where he won a Pot-Limit Omaha event for just under 400,000 USD. He also took down the WPT Main Event in Paris in 2010 for 640,000 Euros. Later on that year, he finished 30th in the Main Event, taking home over $250,000. However, he won't be making another deep run this year, as he just wasn't able to get anything going all day. He tweeted the following.

Theo_Jorgensen Theo Jorgensen Busted. Went down to 20K and from there I decided to play 2 pairs really bad vs a straight. July 08 2012

Kyle Cheong Going Strong

[user38338]

Kyle Cheong has had a good Day 1b thus far, bad news for others who like him are participating in the Onnit Last Sticker Standing Contest promotion. The player wearing an Onnit sticker who lasts the longest in the WSOP Main Event will earn half his or her buy-in back — $5,000.

Cheong had built up to more than 80,000 earlier before coming back to the pack, although still sits with a healthy stack of almost 60,000. Of course now he's got an extra challenge in store, as T.J. Cloutier has been moved to his left.

Cloutier knows a thing or two about lasting a long time in these WSOP Main Events, having finished in the top five no less than four times, including twice as runner-up (in 1985 and 2000).
