Big Slick No Good for Glasser by Crystal on 07.06.08, 8:01 pm

Players just returned from their second break of the day and the tournament clock says that the total number of enrants to this years WSOP Main Event now stands at 6,843 which trumps last years registration of 6,358 by 485 players.

Michael “inissint” Glasser (pictured at right) saw his main event dreams end when he got the remainder of his stack in preflop with the AK which was behind to his opponents JJ. The board ran out T7664 and Glasser was sent to the rail. Mike “MGinVA” Gallo was also eliminated when his pocket kings were against pocket eights and his opponent hit an eight on the river to end Gallo’s day. Eric “Willing2Die” Sonstegard, Bryan “odiggitydog” Oshea, and Andrew “tiltyjoker” Lee were also eliminated during the last level.

Brett “Gank” Jungblut was spotted in a hand with Allen Cunningham. With the board reading AK73T and only 1.2k in the pot Gank bet 600 and Cunningham said “I know it’s a bluff” before evenually folding his hand. Brett then showed Cunningham his QJ and Cunningham laughed and said “I guess it wasn’t a bluff” as Brett scooped up the little pot.

Across the room Shane “Shaniac” Schleger, Greg “Funkii” Dyer, and Ben “bfineman” Fineman were all in a pot with three other players. All six players checked the flop of QJ3 and saw the 6 peel off on the turn. This is where things got a little more confusing. Action checked around to Shane who bet 600. Greg made the call and then Ben, who was in the small blind, check-raised to 2.4k. Everyone else got out of the way, Shane folded, and Greg called Ben’s raise. The 5 came on the river and Ben led out for 4.5k. Greg tanked for a bit before eventually folding and Ben scooped the pot.
