Break Time
Players are on a break from all the shooting out. Trigger fingers are sore, muzzels are red; and all those free drinks need somewhere to go. Like to those cute Swedish railbirds -- where did you think we meant?
Ramming the Final Table
First, Ram Vaswani raised from the button -- then called a re-raise from Bret Winograd. On the J
9
4
5
turn, Winograd bet for a call from Vaswani, to see the K
river. Winograd bet; and Vaswani raised to earn a fold from Winograd.
That hand moved Winograd down to $4,000 or so, pushing him pre-flop next hand holding 8

to Vaswani's K
3
. The Q
T

T

board was no help for Winograd, who left in 16th place with $6,634. Vaswani moved up to the final table.

Update 2 for Event 53, Day 2

No Mercier
Isabelle Mercier is out in 24th place, earning $6,634 for her efforts. She started playing heads-up with around $40,000 versus David Mosca's $230,000. Her biggest hit came when she raised on a T
9
2
2
turn.
Mosca re-raised; and Mercier called to see the 4
river. Mosca bet, then showed K-T to take down the pot when Mercier called. His two pair sent her down to the $4,000 mark.
She doubled that when she flopped a pair the next hand; but her rush was short-lived. She was soon all-in holding 7
6
d to be out-kicked by Mosca's K

on the 8

board. That hand eliminated Mercier; and made Mosca the first member of the final table.
It's Final
The WSOP has declared the final table for this event will indeed play today; and that it will start at eight. They know you have nothing planned for your fourth of July evening, so they've thoughtfully provided all-night poker action.
One to Watch
Ram Vaswani has moved into heads-up play with Bret Winograd. The two are close in chips, with Vaswani at $150,000 and Winograd at $110,000, so there is still room for plenty of play. Stay tuned for updates.
