Alvin Zeidenfeld limps in from under the gun and six more players follow behind to a flop of  10d2s2d.  Everyone checks to JC Alvarado who bet 1.4k and four players made the call to a turn of  9d.  Zeidenfeld checked to Steve Banks who bet 4k.  Everyone mucked around to Zeidenfeld who pushed in.  After some deliberation, Banks made the call with  Q2 while Zeidenfeld showed the  8d7d for the flush.  However, the river came a  10 filling Banks up.  Alvin Zeidenfeld is eliminated from the tourney.

Pokerwire Amanda, Pokerwire Heather, and Pokerwire Amnon...?

Amnon Filippi is trying to establish himself as the best reporter on the circuit.  He's already reported on several big hands in the last level.

How does he arrive on the scene for all the big pots? This is due to one of two reasons:

1. A ginormous poker brain

2. Standing behind players and coaxing them to do silly things with bad hands, creating ridiculous pots

We'll let you decide which one it is.

Battle of the guys in white leather shoes

Since I busted out of the tournament a little earlier than I did at the Mirage, I decided to give up poker and join the Pokerwire.com team.  Not really.  But I did see Patrik Antonius play a pot against Roland DeWolfe:

Roland DeWolfe raised to 400 from the button and Patrik Antonius called in the big blind.  Patrik checked and Roland bet 700 on the Jh4s3s flop.  Patrik called then both players checked the 7c turn.  Patrik again checked to Roland on the Qc river, and he bet 2.1k.  Patrik called and Roland had KhQs for a rivered top pair.
