DeBest, in the course of trying to determine what Edler could be holding, reached into his bad. Edler joked “That’s not an electronic device is it?” The other players then smiled as DeBest produced a stick of Degree deodorant, to assist him with his decision. Edler announced to the ESPN cameras, “I always use Degree, it keeps me dry in moments like these.” DeBest eventually made the call showing A More Money for Shopping Baby!

The players will return in 20 minutes to finish the level and play half of one more level before leaving on a dinner break. Tournament director Jack Effel also cleared up any confusion about the schedule by confirming that play will last either four and a half levels today or until the field is down to 99 players.Carlos Mortensen didn't take long to get all his chips in the middle early on in this level and ran head first into an overpair. Mortensen had pushed with pocket jacks only to find his opponent was holding pocket queens. Mortensen didn't improve and the 2001 Main Event champion was sent to the rail. With the field condensing, many notable players are finding themselves sitting by or across from other notables they have played with many times before. Sharing the felt at table 59 was Gus Hansen, Daniel Alaei, Ayaz Mahmood and Scotty Nguyen. The four players only sat together for a few hands before ESPN scooped them up and sat them at the featured table. Sorel Mizzi started level 17 with over $700,000 and looked comfortable to go deep in this year's Main Event. The poker gods had a different plan for Mizzi and cut his tournament shorter than many had anticipated. Two players at Mizzi's table, Ed Betlow and the player in seat eight limped into the pot for $10,000 each. Mizzi raised to $51,000 and both players called to see a flop. The flop came J 7 3 and Mizzi bet out $93,000. Betlow raised to $200,000 and the player in seat eight folded right away. Mizzi took a few moments to think and then declared that he was all in. Once the $200,000 bet was called, Mizzi had pushed for $419,000 more. Betlow asked MIzzi if he would show him his cards if he folded. Mizzi sat in his chair silent. "Ok then. It's a sick call but here we go" said Betlow as he pushed $419,000 into the middle. Mizzi turned over K J for top pair and Betlow showed A 7 for middle pair with top kicker. Everyone at the table was slightly surprised at Betlow's call. The turn brought the A and Mizzi stared hard with hatred at the card. The river was the 8 and Sorel Mizzi stood up from the table. "I would have folded if you would have shown me" Betlow said as Mizzi left the table. "You played well sir" said Mizzi as he walked away.Jason Sell was also eliminated in the first half of level 17 after finding himself all in with A K . Steven Garfinkle called the all in bet with pocket queens. The flop came Q J 4 and took most of the mystery out of it. The turn was the 5 and the river brought the 2 . A big bet on the river helped Neil Channing take a large pot off of Kirk Morrison shortly before the two were moved to the on deck featured table. Morrison raised to $30,000 preflop and Channing popped him to $110,000 total. Morrison made the call and the flop came down K J J . Channing threw out $75,000 and Morrison didn't hesitate to make the call. The turn was the 8 and both players checked. The river brought the K and Channing fired out $160,000. Morrison took a slow sip of his beer and threw his cards in the muck. Channing took down the large pot without ever having to show his cards.

Lederer actually now shares the table with Allyn Jaffery Shulman, whose original table has already broken. Runner Up Affair
Also Joe Sebok seems to be the only real poker royalty (don’t tell Prince of Poker Scotty Nguyen though). Sebok, the winner of the prop bet between Gavin Smith and Jeff Madsen is adorned today in a royal cape, which has been rather lucky for him as he has chipped up to about $35,000.
Power out gunned Recent Irish Open finalist Nicky Power has been eliminated. 'I found aces the hand before, raised it up and got no callers,' he explained to CardPlayer.com. 'The next hand i found A-K and the flop came K-K-4. All the money went in the middle and the other fella had 4-4. I don't mind really, folding is not a big part of my game so what can you do,' he grinned. Trumper trumped this time. Englishman Simon Trumper had to fold 10-10 to a raise from 'a loose-agressive guy' in seat nine. He didn't seem too upset though as he described his various observations of the playing styles and strategies of the players at his table to CardPlayer.com.

Down to Two TablesJun 22, '07 The $1,500 no-limit hold'em event got down to two tables with a few minutes left in the level. Nam Le is one of the biggest names left in the field. Going into three table play was one of the short stacks, but this level he chipped up dramatically. At first he built up slowly by winning a number of pots preflop. He also happened to be on the desirable side of a cooler, with A-A over K-K. His brother Allan Le was railing him the whole time, and J.C. Tran, Kirk Morrison and Amnon Filippi stopped by. Amnon and J.C. had a stranger ask Le to autograph a picture of him in another magazine that was mis-labeled as David Pham. "Excuse me, David, can I get an autograph?" Le ignored the railbird for a few seconds, then turned and looked confused until Filippi and Tran jumped out from behind the crowd.Notable Chip Counts
