Saturday at the Bellagio; phew ! I've survived a difficult day.

Here is the toughest play where I manage to survive an eliminatory shot by the excellent Patrice Soulier.

I hit a straight with my 67 and he hits a full with his 45. Its a big pot lost which makes me lose all I've worked for in the afternoon but I manage to hold on to staying in the game with a simple all instead of reraising on the river ... wisdom is coming bit by bit !

Here is a copy/past of the play on woldpokertour.com:

Straight Can't Catch Fabrice Soulier's Full HouseSaturday, July 12, 2008 06:26 PM PDT

With the final board showing 75453, Fabrice Soulier bets 2,200, and the button calls with 7-6 for a seven-high straight on the river. But Soulier shows 54 for a full house on the turn, fives full of fours, to win the pot.

Fabrice Soulier now has about 63,000.
