Dario wins #31, Annie leads #33, and more about Clonie : )

Event 31 - $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-handed has been won by Dario Minieri. This makes his first WSOP bracelet and a $528,418 payday. Congratulations, and sorry about the whole Harry Potter thing. : )

Event 32 - $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em is down to the final table of 9 from the original 2,304. They will reconvene today at 2:00pm PDT. A top prize of $573,734 awaits.

Event 33 - $5,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low World Championship is STILL grinding away as of now. They are down to the final 10 of the initial 261 starters. Plenty of star power in this one, with Annie Duke currently in the chip lead, and still in the running Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Marcel Luske, and David Benyamine. I hope we get to see a little of this final table in the ESPN coverage as well! Oh and incidentally GO ANNIE!!!

Event 34 - $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha w/Rebuys has ended for the night, with 49 of the initial 320 remaining. The top 36 get paid in this event, with a top prize of $577,725. There are a number of recognizable pros still in this one, but I'll mention only one... and cross my fingers and channel some luck and good fortune your way... CLONIE GOWEN, currently 11th in chip stack.

Event 35 - $1,500 Seven Card Stud is down to 70 of the original 381 and will get back underway today.

Scheduled to begin today are Events 36 - $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em and 37 - $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low World Championship. For all the latest and greatest head over to http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/.
