Event 38, No-Limit Hold'em - Live Updates

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.

Andrew's Absent, John Comes On

Andrew Lee moved all-in under the gun holding T♣ 5♣ to John Kranyak's big blind call with K♣ 8♠. The board brought K♦ 9♥ 6♦ 9♦ 6♠ to give John two pair and Andrew a fifth-place finish and $119,447.

New Number Two

Robert Cheung raised pre-flop, then called Andrew Lee -- who moved all-in from the big blind. Robert showed A♥ T♥ to Andrew's A♦ 8♥; and doubled through the Q♣ 6♥ 3♠ 5♠ 7♦ board to become second in chips.

Bjorout

Chris Bjorin showed K♥ Q♦ when he called Richard Murnick, who had moved all-in from under the gun. Richard held A♥ T♥ and made two pair on the T♠ 8♥ 2♥ 9♦ 8♣ board. Chris is out in sixth place with $87,215 for his play. We made $45 off the play we wrote in high school.

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'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.

ZOMG E-Scho! It's final table time from the latest $1,500 donkament and everyone's favorite fiancee of David Benyamine is third in chips going into the shroud. Joining Erica Schoenberg inside the poker box are chip leader Andrew Lee, as well as Chris Bjorin and a number of other competent poker players.
