Oh My God
Level 6: 150,000-300,000, 30,000 ante
- Fred Goldberg is making a push for 'most entertaining player at the table' by virtue of the fact he's both spoken and bet in the last hour and a half. - Allen Kessler is getting frustrated. The only player left with a WPT final table to his credit, Allen is down to T300,000 with the blinds T12,000-T24,000. Every time he's almost committed to playing a hand on pot odds, he looks down to find 8-2 offsuit. - Raj Patel might have been better off sticking with ten players. He was destroying the table while it was at ten. Now he's giving a little back to ensure we don't have any more eliminations in the near future.

Jen's Place: Two Recent Bustouts
Level 6: 150,000-300,000, 30,000 ante
Believe me when I say that eliminations are a welcome change to the action here, but it’s bittersweet to see Luis Vazquez and Frank Flowers go. Both guys were gracious enough to give time to Gary in front of a camera. Frank was entertaining and funny, even though he was a bit more toned down today than yesterday. But his wife and baby were here, and it would have been sweet for them to see him get a spot at that tv table. Luis was a tough-looking guy but had the manners and modesty that made him a gentleman. He was playing for his son, whose picture was on his card protector, and it could have been life-changing for him to reach the final table. Regardless, each man was gracious in defeat and grateful for the opportunity to get this far. Congrats, Frank and Luis, on an event well-played.
