dasdafac Busts Out
The final member, Chris Wight, of 3 Check'n'Raise players to attend the WSOP due to Poker.com's gesture, has sadly been eliminated from today's play.

Chris has played extremely well throughout the event and while I know he is greatly disappointed not to survive till day 3, he can return home feeling proud of his performance.

Chris' Comments:
"Being here at the WSOP is a complete poker miracle!
I can't thank Poker.com enough for kicking-in and making this trip become a reality, they (Poker.com) have done so much to make this happen.

I'm a little annoyed at that river card, but that's poker for you. At least I have a world of new found knowledge to take away with me. It was an amazing experience to sit with the pro's and watch their decision making process."

Now, its time to win myself a seat to the Aussie Millions with my new found home for online poker... Poker.com."


xxJoker22xx Busts Out
Joker22 started day 2A with 48,350 and by the end of the first session he was sitting comfortably with 75,000 in chips.
This was until Joker's table was broken up and he was moved to a new table with a player who had over 100,000 in chips and was pushing the table around.

So, after joining the table Joker22 decided to tighten up, sit back and only see the flop with premium starting hands.

It wasn't until later that night that Joker found himself with AK and only one other player still in the hand pre-flop. You guessed it, the table bully and chip leader (the only player who had Joker covered).

Hand: AK equals Bust Out
- Joker22 raises
- Chip Bully re-raises another 5000
- Joker22 goes to fold, but puts opponent on Q's
-Joker22 calls
Flop: 3 9 K
- Bully checks
- Joker22 hits K & bets 10,000
- Bully pushes all in.
- Joker22 pauses, then makes the call
Showdown: Joker - AK Vs Bully - AA
- Joker22 draws dead and his opponents bullets win

MsRounders Busts Out
After managing her short stack with the greatest of care for Day 1A, MsRounders decided she would need to make some aggressive plays during the morning session if she wanted to go the distance.

And she did just that, in fact she went all-in on eight separate occasions throughout the day and not once was she called. The only problem being was that she actually had AA or AK each time.

Then the one time that MsRounders pushed without a premium hand, she was called by a player who had is headphones on and who appeared to make the call by mistake.

Hand: Ms Rounders gets an Unlucky Turn
- 3rd hand of level 10
- Blinds: 500 / 1,000 ante: 100
- Table folds
- MsRounders pushes all-in on the button
- BB makes the call
Showdown: MsRounders - A9 Vs BB - KJ
Flop: rainbow of rags Turn: J River: rag
MsRounders busts to a Jack on the turn.

Unfortunately, MsRounders A-High couldn't hold up and was our last player to bust on Day 2A. An amazing effort considering she started the second day with only 9,900 in chips. I think we can all learn a lesson in chip management and believe it or not, table talk.

It was about mid-way through her day 2 session, when a new player joined her table with about 65,000 in chips. After playing at her table for an hour or so, he piped up with "So, are you ever going to play a hand at the WSOP?" To which she just smiled and said "Maybe."

Then 3 hands later the table jokester busted out of the tournament... And just as he began his long walk of shame, MsRounders stated to the table "I guess 65,000 isn't any help then."
