Just before end of day, Team Bodog poker player Will Soffin busted out of the 2008 WSOP Main Event. When we spoke to Soffin after he busted out he said that poker pro Mark Vos had had his number the whole night, not necessarily outplaying him by any means, just outflopping him on a regular basis. It would seem that the horseshoe up Vos' ass was the larger one on this day.

Just to prove how brutal the flops were in favor of Vos and against Soffin here's awrite-up of Vos' final two hands courtesy of PokerNews.com:

William Soffin called a raise preflop from Mark Vos. Vos led the betting on every street of a board that came out . On the river, Vos bet 150,000 and, without looking at his stack, Soffin called. Vos had flopped a set of jacks against Soffin's top and bottom pair.

When the dealer counted down Soffin's call, it turned out that he was left with a single yellow (T1,000) chip. He was all in for the ante on the next hand. Andrew Brokos opened that pot with a raise to 28,000. He was reraised to 75,000 by Jose Baeza. After deliberating his options, Brokos reraised all in and Baeza called all in for less.

Soffin:
Brokos:
Baeza:

A crowd gathered around the table as the dealer burned and turned a flop of . Everyone at the table, rooting for Soffin's ridiculously short stack, started chanting, "Deuce! Deuce! Deuce!" Meanwhile, Brokos took the lead in the side pot and the main pot with a pair of aces. The turn and river didn't help anyone, coming . Both pots were shipped to Brokos, and Soffin and Baeza were eliminated.

The man just couldn't catch a break. Anyway, he finished up in 206th place and cashed out for $38,600, and based on what we've seen from Will over the past few days, Vegas could be in for one epic party courtesy of those winnings.

Day 4 of the 2008 WSOP Main Event is now in the books and the remaining 189 players will return tomorrow to play down a little bit closer to the $9.1 million first-place prize, so stay tuned.
