Saturday night provided for another solid showing by PocketFives.com members in this year's World Series of Poker, as P5'ers took 2nd and 3rd place in the $1,500 No Limit Holdem Event #36. After cashing in WSOP Events 2 and 9, Cody thugmoneymkr Slaubaugh (pictured) placed 2nd at last night's final table for $389,128. He was followed by Aaron Gotcha55 Kanter, who took home $258,862 for 3rd, and Owen OCrowe Crowe, who got nearly $82k for 8th.

Stuart THEDONATOR Paterson received $33k for 15th in the $10,000 Omaha Hi/Low Event #37. Other members making their mark on Event #36 included Bryan bparis Paris and Tom titantom32 Braband, who finished 11th and 12th respectively for $36,741 each. Bryan bmicon Micon took home $28,391 for 15th place, following by eight other P5's members. Papadelpoker, wildman75, GB2005, jurollo, USCphildo, imalucksac, NDGrinder59, and Papa Bull XL all cashed in WSOP Event #36.

Three PocketFives.com members entered the final table of Event #36 Saturday evening. After about 20 hands of play, Ocrowe was eliminated after getting all his chips in the middle with top pair on the flop. His opponent, eventual 4th place finisher Danny Wong, committed his chips on the flop with a flush draw, and got there on the turn to eliminate Owen.

Over 100 hands later, Aaron Gotcha55 Kanter (pictured), who has a WSOP Main Event final table appearance and many high-stakes online tournament cashes under his belt, was eliminated in 3rd place. Aaron got it all in with pocket queens pre-flop, only to be busted by a 3-outer king on the river by eventual champion Jesper Hougaard. That left Event #36 to be contested by two players. Cody thugmoneymkr Slaubaugh held the chip lead briefly, but eventually lost to pocket queens all in pre-flop to end the tournament and take home almost $390k for 2nd place.

Today's WSOP action will feature Event #38 ($2,000 Pot Limit Holdem), Event #39 ($1,500 No Limit Holdem), and Event #40 ($2,500 2-7 Triple Draw). For WSOP coverage of online poker players from around the world, visit PocketFivesLive.com.
