Play Has Resumed
Nível 7
: 150/300, 25 ante
The cards are back in the air for the final two levels of play.
I'm Sorry John, I Don't Remember
Nível 7
: 150/300, 25 ante
With just two levels of play left in the evening, the surviving short stacks are getting their chips into the middle at a rapid fire clip, and John Tech did the same after the flop fell 
.
Tech held the 
, and his opponent snap-called while tabling the 
for an open-ended straight draw.
Turn: 
River: 
With that, the dealer mucked Tech's pair of jacks and prepared to push the pot to the player who made the straight. Which would have been fine, of course, except for the fact that four-card straights simply don't count here at the World Series of Poker.
Tech, for his part, did not react when his cards were mucked, and his opponent sat still as a stone, waiting to see if he could possibly win the pot with eight-high. Finally, just as the pile of chips was being pushed in the wrong direction, another player at the table spoke up to correct the error.
"He wins, right?," said the player, pointing toward Tech.
"Straight," answered the dealer confidently, arranging the alongside the flop to show the winning hand that never was. Eventually, the mistake was sorted out, and Tech's jacks were retrieved from the muck so that the pot could be awarded to its rightful owner.
"That would've been a tough beat there," said another player at the table, while Tech simply smiled and counted his new chips.

Richie Sklar is Shooting Under Par
Nível 7
: 150/300, 25 ante
We caught up with a friendly gentleman by the name of Richie Sklar, and he proudly informed us that his stack had eclipsed the 40,000 plateau.
While these requests are par for the course when it comes to covering a WSOP tournament, Sklar let us know why he ws so excited to have ammunition at his disposal.
"I've played 10 tournaments this summer," Sklar explained. "And I haven't won a single chip!"
While that degree of run bad may have been a bit of an exaggeration, Sklar has certainly won his share of pots here today, having run his stack up to more than 40,000 near the end of Day 1A, or more than three times the current average.
Sklar also let us know that he is golfing buddies with none other than Phil Ivey and Mike Sexton, so it stands to reason that a little of their aptitude on the felt has rubbed off on Sklar during long sessions on the other green.
With two previous cashes at the WSOP to his credit, both of which represented top-10 finishes, Sklar is hoping his drives remain pure and his putting stays true here today.
Longtime readers of PokerNews may also remember Sklar from the 2009 WSOP, when he famously offered to buy President Obama into the Main Event.

Williams Starts to Rebuild
Nível 7
: 150/300, 25 ante
David Williams was cruising along when we last checked on him, but something must have gone wrong in the meantime because we witnessed him getting a short stack into the middle of the felt.
Williams held 
to his opponent's 
and was set for a much needed double to 6,500. The 
flop improved both players to a pair of aces, but Williams' was the better of the two hands thanks to his king-kicker. The 
turn improved Williams to two pair and the 
river caused some initial confusion because Williams' opponent thought he had won the pot with a flush. However, Williams had improved to an ace-high flush and scooped the pot.

A Trio of Scalps
Nível 8
: 200/400, 50 ante
The tournament has lost a trio of talented players in the space of 30 seconds. Erik Lindgren, Matt Waxman and Mclean Karr have all fallen by the wayside and will take no further part in today's proceedings. We would be surprised if we did not see all three of them back here on Thursday afternoon.
