After a series of preflop raises, Brian Shapiro was all in from late position against Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul from the small blind.

Saul: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Shapiro: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

With ESPN recording the hand, Shapiro felt the need to ham it up for the camera's, standing from the table and screaming "Please don't put a king, please, please don't put a king"

Flop: {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {6-Spades} giving Saul his set.

Shapiro got his backpack on and prepaired to leave, however he got a glimmer of hope when the {J-Diamonds} landed on the felt.

The river then brought the {Q-Diamonds} giving Shaprio runner-runner straight to stay alive.

Several "Whooo's" came screaming from the mouth of Shapiro. After the string of excessive celebratory exclamations, Shapiro stuck an index finger in Saul's direction and proclaimed "Do that to me one more time...double me up again! Whooo!"

Saul sat staring at Shapiro in silent disbelief of the act of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Tournament director Jack Effel came over to the table and offered Shapiro a stern warning and a one hand penalty.

Chip counts after the hand:
Brian Shapiro: 167,500
Kevin Saul: 685,000

saul should have bitchslapped him

wrong

monnette should be primed to start berating the dealer after this.

Hevad Khan Eliminated

The man who has brought so much entertainment to the Main Event over several years, Hevad Khan, has just been eliminated within sight of the money.

After a preflop raising war, Khan and his opponent Norman Gautron found their chips in the middle before the flop.

Khan: {A-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Gautron: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Gautron takes down the monster pot to 520,000 to leave Khan with just 9,000 in chips.

"That's poker..." sighed Khan.

A few moments later Khan was all in with {A-Spades}{7-Spades} against the {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} of Brendan Taylor with the board running out {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{K-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Khan hits the rail just short of the cash.

how braindead is the guy that decides to update pokernews in the middle of the bubble stage of the WSOP ME

They aren't updating the site, that is just a auto message when the servers are probably be ****ed right now with all the traffic.

From Cardplayer.com updates:

"Hand-for-Hand play has begun with 653 players remaining. Media access has been severely restricted as all media that is not ESPN has been relegated to the rail during hand-for-hand play, so our coverage will be very limited during this time. Thank you and bear with us until the field reaches the money"

Anyone know which of last year's November Nine are still left in + approximate chipcounts?
