Eli Berg, who hails from Newtonville, Massachusetts, opened for 3,200 from the cutoff only to have Darren Elias shove all in from the button for 36,600. The blinds both folded and then Berg made a quick call.
Berg:
Elias:
"Good luck," Berg said halfheartedly to his opponent. Whether or not he meant it, we may never know. What we do know is that Elias got it because the board ran out and his deuces held up.
We noticed Kristijonas Andrulis was missing from the field and a quick check with Timothy Adams filled us in on some of the details surrounding his elimination.
According to Adams, Andrulis opened with and then called off when Stephen Chidwick shoved with . The board ran out clean and that was all she wrote for Andrulis.
The last time the World Series of Poker held a $25,000 buy-in six-handed event was at the 41st annual WSOP in 2010. That event attracted a larger field of 191 players and generated a prize pool of $4,536,250. Dan Kelly was the victor, winning $1,315,518 after defeating Shawn Buchanan heads up.
Others at the final table included eventual WSOP Player of the Year Frank Kassela, Jason Somerville, Mikael Thuritz and Eugene Katchalov. You can read more about Kelly's victory and the event over in our live reporting blog archive.
We just checked in with the start-of-the-day chip leader Max Lehmanski, who seems to have picked up right where he left off last night.
Lehmanski began the day with 406,000, and in just one level he's managed to work that up to 580,000. We're not sure how he upped his stack so fast, but given that Evan Silverstein started that table with a big stack and is now gone, it's a safe assumption that the two clashed and Lehmanski came out on top.
Fabian Quoss raised to 4,000 from the button only to have Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel three-bet to 14,000 from the small blind. 2010 November Niner Jason Senti then came in with a four-bet to 29,000 from the big blind, Quoss quickly folded and Seidel took about 45 seconds before casually dropping in a five-bet to 60,000.
Senti double checked his cards and waited about 30 seconds before announcing that he was all in for right around 200,000. Seidel spent a minute in the tank, threw up his hands a bit and then folded his cards.
Jeff Gross raised in the cutoff, Justin Bonomo three-bet to 17,000 out of the small blind, and Fabrice Touil cold-called in the big. Gross called as well, and the dealer fanned . Bonomo led out for 22,000, and only Touil called.
The turn was the , and Bonomo check-folded to a bet of what looked like 45,000.
Zachary Clark had a raise to 12,500 in front of him on the flop and Tony Gregg had 5,200 in front of him while in the tank. Gregg eventually called to see the land on the turn and pair the board. Clark and Gregg both checked.
The river was the , and Clark tank-checked. Gregg moved all in, and Clark quickly called.
Gregg tabled the for a busted straight draw, and Clark showed the for trip jacks. Clark collected the pot and Gregg was sent to the rail.
"Don't be upset about this one," Niklas Heinecker said to Gregg as he walked off. "I don't want to hear you complaining!"
and his deuces held up.
