Tilly Busts

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jennifer Tilly
Jennifer Tilly

Jennifer Till has been eliminated from the tournament at the hands of Robert Lipkin.

Lipkin opened from early position, the small blind called and Tilly moved all in for 2,500 from the big blind. Lipkin called and the small blind folded.

Tilly: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Lipkin: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Tilly took the lead as the flop came down {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and stayed ahead as the {6-Diamonds} landed on the turn. The river card, however, was the {8-Clubs}, improving Lipkin to a set of eights and leaving Tilly wandering about what could have been.

Rheem Losing 20,000!

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Chino Rheem is back down to 8,500 from a peak of 28,500 as he continues to try and boss his table.

We walked past Rheem's table to see him all in on a {5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board and being called by a player with {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

"Do I have to show my hand?" asked Rheem

The dealer said yes and Rheem turned over {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for fourth pair.

Liu Loses Out

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante
Xuan Liu
Xuan Liu

Xuan Liu has lost 4,400 of her stack after calling an all-in bet with ust {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Neil Mittleman was her opponent and he held {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. The {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} left Liu needing running cards, which meant when the {4-Spades} landed on the turn she was drawing dead. Mittleman completed an unnecessary flush on the river with the arrival of the {2-Spades} and now has circa. 10,000 chips.

Easy Game for Lichtenberger

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger recently helped himself to a small pot, but they all count.

Lichtenberger opened to 900 from late position and was called in two spots, namely the hijack and the small blind. The trio watched on as the dealer placed the {7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{A-Hearts} onto the green Rio felt. Action checked to Lichtenberger who continued with a 900 bet. Both of Lichtenberger's opponents folded and he added more chips to his stack.

Should Lichtenberger reach the money places in Event #30, it would be his 20th WSOP cash of his career; an impressive figure for sure.

Manig's No Loeser

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Germany's Manig Loeser is flying high in Event #30 and is one of the tournament's chip leader.

Loeser has just lost a pot when he saw the player to his immediate right open to 850 from late position. Loeser three-bet him to 2,325 and his opponent gave up.

Loeser has over $900,000 in live tournament winnings and is looking to bolster that figure with a deep run in this event. If his current run continues, he is going to certainly do that.

Aguiar Up and Down

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

The last time we checked on Jonathan Aguiar's progress we had him on 2,900 and now he is up to 8,800. However, had we looked in on him a few moments earlier we would have seen him with 10,300.

As it happens we didn't and we saw him open to 800 from the cutoff and then call when the button three-bet to 1,500. Aguiar checked the arrival of the {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades} then folded when is opponent made a continuation-bet of 2,500.

Racener Racing Onwards

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

John Racener is best known for his second place finish in the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event. On that occasion, Racener lost heads-up to Jonathan Duhamel and picked up $5,545,955 in prize money.

While Racener would not win anywhere near as much if he took down this particular event, he would take home $346,332 and a piece of gold poker jewellery that he so narrowly missed out on three years ago.
