Saturday, 05th of August 2006 10:41 PM Jason Strasser is damaged, and drops to 160K. A few hands after that he is eliminated from the Main Event. Saturday, 05th of August 2006 10:37 PM Mike McClain loses a big ole chunk of chips to Jamie Gold when the flop comes 9s 3s 3c, and McClain bets 50K. Gold raises him to 100K. McClain comes over the top reraising to 300K. Nice pot! Gold counters by pushing all-in with his 2,100,000. Of course this sends McClain to the tank. He ponders for about 5 minutes, before deciding to fold. It’s a good thing he did, as Gold reveals 9d 9h, for a flopped full-house. Gold takes the pot worth 2,550,000. Eric Lynch has crossed the $1 Million mark. Saturday, 05th of August 2006 10:27 PM In a hand is a young player, Tyler Pendleton, he stands up and flips over pocket Jacks. He's all in and has been called by another player with A K . Pendleton claps his hands, and exclaims: "Let's do it!" He can't bear to watch as the flop comes.... no help. He ducks his head, and the turn brings a Q. Again, no help. The final card is another blank and his pocket Jacks stand up. Immediately his elation is inescapable. "Woo! Yeah! How you like me now, boys? Looks like you're stuck with me for a couple more hours, ain't ya!?" The other players at the table seem annoyed that he wasn't knocked out. When they’re asked why? "Well, we wanted him to get knocked out because he takes too long." His parents were nearby and they said: "Wanna know something? He's in this thing on a $2 entry fee online. He's never even been to Las Vegas before. He's got more money in his poker account than he does in his bank account!" "All he wants is a new 2007 Chevy pickup."

Saturday, 05th of August 2006 10:01 PM Christine Wilson is eliminated when she moves all-in, and John Magill calls. Wilson rolls over Ax Qc and Magill has Ac Kd. The board comes 9h 8s 5c Ts 4c. Both players have Ace high, but Magill wins the pot with the higher kicker. Hid stack increases to about 740K. What a disappointment for Wilson, as she busts out. Saturday, 05th of August 2006 09:54 PM Holy smokes Jamie Gold is waaaaay up now. Just after taking out Solomon, he calls an all-in by Samir Zoudo, for 600K.

Both players draw blank on the turn and river, and Solomon is eliminated. With this pot, Jamie Gold jumps to the top of the heap. His stack rises above the rest with about 1,670,000 in chips.

Peter Hedlund Saturday, 05th of August 2006 09:25 PM Russell Barnes doesn’t want to know what his chances are of staying alive, so he pushes all-in, in the dark, pre-flop. Tyler Teague raises to 20K and Michael Kingsbury calls, from the SB. The flop comes 9c 7c 2c. The two active players check it and the also the Js on the turn. When 3d comes on the river, Teague is about to bet, but Kingsbury saves him the time and just folds. Teague shows Q T, and Barnes turns his over to see Ac Kh. His Ace high is enough to snatch the pot, and he’s up to about 40K. Saturday, 05th of August 2006 09:15 PM Tom Wahlroos loses chips when his opponent moves all-in with 225K. Wahlroos calls and turns over Ah Ts. The other player shows Kh Kc. The flop comes 6c 4c 2c, which doesn’t help Wahlroos. The turn and river are Qs Qd, and it's a rotten flop for Wahlroos this time.

Saturday, 05th of August 2006 07:56 PM Weikai Chang is beyond lucky when Bill Robertie and Chris Martin are both all-in, before the flop. They are called by both Weikai Chang and Adam Bragar, making the pot 375K, and the side pot 120K. The flop comes 5h 3c 2c and Adam Bragar moves all-in too, with 310K. Chang goes to the tank for a long while, he calls, and has all the others covered. Bragar flips up Qc Qd, Robertie has As Ad, Martin shows Js Jc. Chang hesitates before turning his hand over, but when he finally does, it’s Ts Tc, and he’s way behind. The turn brings 9h, which helps no one. The river though, is a Td, and Chang goes from the underdog to the Mac Daddy, with a set. He takes out all three of his opponents, and now his stack is huge with about 1,350,000 in chips. Saturday, 05th of August 2006 07:30 PM Rich Nielson takes a huge pot when there’s 480K in the pot, the flop shows Jd 7h 2s and Nielson pushes all-in with 400K. Cheng Yu calls and turns over pocket J’s, while Neilson rolls over pocket Aces. The turn doesn’t improve either with the 9c. However, with the Ac on the river, Nielson catches an out, for a set and wins the pot. He’s up to 1,400,000 and Yu drops to $540,000.
