WSOP 2008
Jeff “Yellowsub” Williams, the $1K NLHE with rebuys runner-up, was just knocked out of the $1.5K PL Omaha Event. With an average stack of about 5.5K, Williams (pictured left) got his money in on a flop of Q

with K

for middle set. His opponent had A

for a pair of aces and the nut flush draw. The turn and river brought the 5
and 4
, giving his opponent a flush, and Williams was sent out of the tournament.
Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson has been building a formidable stack, but just doubled Erick Lindgren. With the blinds at 150/300, Lindgren min-raised to 300 preflop and Johnson re-raised to 900. Lingren called and the players saw a flop of 9-7-4. Lingren checked to Marco, who put him all in and Lindgren called with K-K-8-6. Johnson’s Q-Q-10-9 failed to improve and Lindgren doubled to 6K. Johnson is still healthy with over 12K.
Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul also doubled a well-known live pro. With blinds at 75-150, Saul raised from the cutoff and Matt Brady limp-raised all in for 2500. After tanking for a few minutes, Saul asked Brady if he had aces. A few seconds later Saul’s suspicion was confirmed when he called Brady and he tabled the A

and he doubled up, leaving Saul with just under 3k. He since busted, floppingĀ top set and the nut flush draw but his opponent’s gutshot draw got there on the river.
