Robert Cheung
Robert Rewarded!

Robert Cheung has taken down the bracelet and $673,628 for first place. With the action still on time-delay the details are a little foggy; but we do know Robert was a seven-to-one chip leader when he called Richard Murnick's all-in.

Cheung happened to be holding Big Slick; and when an ace came on the turn, Murnick headed home with $417,117 for second place and No-Limit Hold'em had another winner from Vancouver, Canada. Stay tuned for PokerListings.com's winner interview, coming tonight.

Huge Bust-Outs and Double-Ups!

New Number Two

Elimination Excitement!

Hold'em for Fifteen

It's time for a fifteen-minute break -- or at least it was an hour ago, which is the length of the webcast delay. Back in those days, the official chip count according to www.worldseriesofpoker.com was:

Cry Suey

Suey Wong is out in seventh place with $68,225. Facing one raise pre-flop, Suey moved all-in with A Q to find one caller -- with A K. The 8 7 5 2 8 board brought no hearts and no queens; and Wong is gonged.

Erica Fills Houses, Empties Tents.

Erica's Full Houses Empty Tables

Erica Schoenberg clearly has a strategy for today's final table: boat rides. After eliminating Nick Goodman with deuces over sixes, she took out Ernie Crespo with sixes over tens.

Ernie moved all-in under the gun with 5 5 to be called by Erica's T T. The flop came 7 6 6 6 3 to fill Erica's house and empty Ernie's seat. He will take $51,192 for his eighth-place finish.

The hand before, Erica took a pot off her nearest competitor Andrew Lee when she bet the flop -- which had brought her, yes, a boat of twos over nines. Erica is up close to $3,000,000, roughly double Andrew's stack.

Erica Nicks Goodall

The first hand of the day sees Erica Schoenberg eliminate Nick Goodall in ninth place. Robert Cheung raised in early position for a call from Nick and Erica to see the 7 6 2 flop. Robert bet, Nick slowly moved all-in; and Erica pushed her stack over the top to fold Cheung.

Nick flipped 8 8 for an overpair, only to see Erica's flopped set 2 2. The turn and river brought 6 J and a full house for Erica, who moves up near $2,000,000 in chips. Nick takes home $40,195 for his efforts.
