...and Then There Were Eight.
The name that stole the show, however, is not typically associated with poker. One Orel Hershiser of MLB fame won his third straight match, besting Ted Forrest, Allen Cunningham and Freddy Deeb en route to the quarterfinals. Already guaranteed a payday of at least $75,000, Hershiser looks to get a fourth signature on his game ball when all is said and done in his match against Andy Bloch.
Day three will recommence at 11:00 a.m. PST tomorrow afternoon, at which time the following matches will take place:
Jonathan Little vs. Chris "Jesus Ferguson
Gus Hansen vs. Phil Ivey
Andy Bloch vs. Orel Hershiser
Huck Seed vs. David Benyamine
Tune in tomorrow when we find out who will take down the championship and $500,000 grand prize. Until then, good night and good luck!
