WSOP 2008
Jordan “iMsoLucky0″ Morgan was eliminated in 19th place of the $1.5K Pot-Limit Omaha Event, releasing a collective sigh of relief from several short stacks as the final two tables have been formed. Morgan (pictured right) got involved in a three-way all in with Colin Yorke and Craig Natte. Morgan held Q-T-T-8 (double suited) and was up against the J-J-6-2 of York and A-T-9-5 of Naette. The board revealed K

, giving Naette the nut flush and sending Morgan packing.
The eliminations have been fast and furious from there. Nine more players have fallen in the span of 45 minutes, but P5er Jamie “The New” Robbins is staying strong, working with a 70K-80K stack for the past few levels by raising in position and not having to commit his entire stack.
Eugene Todd is currently 5/10 in chips and just made a huge laydown to save himself from exiting the tournament. On a board of Q

, two players moved all of their chips into the pot, forcing Todd to a critical decision. He chose to fold, claiming he had top two pair, and his opponents flipped up bottom set and a wrap draw. The board paired, but it would have been disaster for Todd, who pumped his fist in the air. Todd still has around 150K chips.
One more player to go! Play will end as soon as the final nine are left standing. We’ll keep you updated as play progresses.
