Any news on Mickey Wernick? Is he still in?

Mickey lost a very large pot early on (to Chris Bigler, I think) when he got to see a flop with his big blind .  The flop:  .
He bet the pot, and was called.  Turn:   and again.
River: .  Mickey just bet out 500 into the 2000+ pot, and received a call by the rivered set of Sixes!

Yesterday it was two ten of spades they found in one deck, today it's the Ace (?!)

Two players reach a showdown, both flip the Ace of Spades.

Hmm

"New deck please!"

[snoopy1239]

lookey likey time... Chris Bigler and the hugely popular Gary Bushell

Paul 'Actionjack' Jackson is OUT.

A-9 suited vs A-K

No help

Not to totally disregard the $5k Stud event - some counts from the tables:

Andy Black        30,000
Garry Bush         8,500
Peter Costa        5,150
Todd Brunson    17,000
David Singer       22,000
Barney Boatman  7,500
Barry Greenstein  8,400
Paul Testud        3,000

And here's successful Stud competitor Andy Black (I like his jacket - intriguing to those who don't know who he is, perhaps intimidating to those who do?).  I've seen people come for his autograph on two separate occasions - in fact the only times I've seen Mr. Black, a guy has been handing him some kind of signing device...

Phil Hellmuth is OUT.

He made a short trip to the Table of Doom, shaking the hands of those he considered 'rookie's, before exiting within 10 minutes.

He limped on the button with K-9, Sexton raised the big blind with A-Q, Hellmuth moved all-in (?!) and Sexton called.

King on flop, but River brought Sexton a flush.

[snoopy1239]

The Table of Doom gets even Doomier as I find out that one of the guys I assumed was a 'rookie', was in fact renowned online player John 'Decision' Hansmeyer from Canada.

This is his first WSOP comp, but what a table! They were all discussing who was going to replace Hellmuth, and within moments, TJ CLoutier sat down!

John's currently on 5,500

Rob Hollink and Paul McKinney are still in ther $1,500 No Limit Hold 'Em Freezout, the latter running well with 45,000.

[Djinn]

Found a couple Snoops spotted on his first run:
John Hewston     15,000
Vanessa Rousso    8,400
Julian Gardner      10,000
Iwan Jones          10,000

Daniel Negreanu eliminates an American Mateyboy.

All-in preflop.

MB =

Negreanu =

(second time he has found pocket kings - first one brought him a flopped set)

Board =

Negreanu's up to 19,250

Tony Chessa raises preflop, MB next door calls.

Flop =

Chessa moves all-in for 825, last hand before the break.

MB takes an age to call, even though he only has about 500 left. (I am unsure as to why he didn't reraise preflop if was going to play the hand)

Eventually, he folds, leaving Chessa to flip over pocket Kings.

No idea what MB had, thought tens at first, but surely he'd reraise preflop with such a small stack.
