Queens Hold the Line

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Paulius Vaitiekunas
Paulius Vaitiekunas

Paulius Vaitiekunas opened from under the gun to 240,000 before Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 720,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Vaitiekunas, who moved all in for 3,850,000. Negreanu made the call, and the cards were turned over.

Paulius Vaitiekunas: QQAll in
Daniel Negreanu: AK

Negreanu needed to improve to send Vaitiekunas to the rail, but the board ran out 3768Q. The river queen improved Vaitiekunas to a set, not that he needed it, securing him the double-up and keeping his tournament hopes alive.

Schusteritsch is Full of Hearts

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Josef Schusteritsch limped from the small blind and Daniel Rezaei raised to 420,000 from the big. Schusteritsch called and then both players checked the K73 flop.

When the 2 appeared on the turn, Schusteritsch check-called a bet of 340,000 and then checked the 9 river.

Rezaei checked behind and mucked when Schusteritsch rolled over the Q8 for a flopped flush.

Small One for Foxen

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded to Jamie Dwan, who defended his small blind, and Kristen Foxen checked her big blind.

On the 67K flop, Dwan bet 150,000, and Foxen made the call.

With the turn bringing the 6, Dwan checked, Foxen bet 220,000, and Dwan made the call.

The 3 river completed the board, and Dwan checked once more, but Foxen didn't back down as she bet 1,400,000, which was too much for Dwan as his cards found the muck.

Sebastian Gaehl Eliminated in 12th Place ($122,526)

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Sebastian Gaehl
Sebastian Gaehl

Daniel Smiljkovic, who had recently been moved from the other table, raised from the cutoff and Sebastian Gaehl defended the big blind to see a flop of K74.

Gaehl led out with a bet, and Smiljkovic called to see the 10 turn. Gaehl then moved all in for his last million or so and Smiljkovic snapped him off.

Sebastian Gaehl: K8 All in
Daniel Smiljkovic: 44

Gaehl had flopped top pair but was drawing dead as Smiljkovic had flopped a set. The meaningless J was run out on the river for good measure, and Gaehl headed for the exit in 12th place.

Chris Brewer Eliminated in 13th Place ($122,526)

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Chris Brewer
Chris Brewer

Chris Brewer moved all in from under the gun for his last 1,880,000. Action folded to Josef Schusteritsch in the cutoff, who reshoved. The rest of the table quickly got out of the way, leaving the two players to showdown.

Chris Brewer: Q10All in
Josef Schusteritsch: KK

Brewer needed help from the board to stay alive. The flop came 1022, pairing his ten and giving him some hope, but the A on the turn and the 4 on the river changed nothing. Schusteritsch's pocket kings held up, sending Brewer to the rail.

Full House on the Board

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded to Josef Schusteritsch in the small blind and he limped, which prompted Daniel Rezaei to check his option from the big.

When the flop came down Q4Q, the former led out for 120,000 and the latter called.

Schusteritsch then check-called a bet of 250,000 on the Q turn, and the 4 river put a full house on the board.

Schusteritsch checked and Rezaei took the opportunity to bet 1,100,000. Schusteritsch called only to muck when Rezaei rolled over the 66 for a bigger full house.

Big Slick Does the Trick for Brewer

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Chris Brewer moved all in for 1,000,000 from under the gun, and Sebastian Gaehl isolated by jamming over the top from the small blind.

Chris Brewer: AK All in
Sebastian Gaehl: AQ

Brewer had the better ace and it held as the board ran out a clean 3610J8. Ship an early double to Brewer.

Crazy Bad Beat Kicks Off Day 6 of WSOP Main Event

Go Kato
Go Kato

It didn't take long for Day 6 of the World Series of Poker Main Event to produce its first jaw-dropping hand.

Just a few minutes into Saturday's action, one of the most brutal coolers of the tournament sent Go Kato to the rail in a hand that looked destined to end in a chop. Instead, Lauri Saaskilahti found the only possible way to win the pot, delivering a beat that would make anyone barf up their breakfast, lunch or dinner.

If this isn't the sickest elimination of Day 6, it'll take something special to top it.
