Dave Zand Eliminated in Seventh

[user22113]

Short-stacked Dave Zand moved all in in the big blind with {q-Clubs}

and was called by Devin Porter, who raised preflop with {a-Spades}

.

The board brought no help to Zand and he was out in seventh.

Four-Way Flop Cripples Zand

[user75032]

Dave Zand is on life support. After Nathan Templeton raised to 28,000 from the cutoff, Zand (on the button), Devin Porter, and John Conkright all made the call. A highly coordinated flop of {10-Spades}

came down, and the table tensed for fireworks.

Porter checked to Conkright, who bet 100,000. Templeton folded over to Zand, who raised to 325,000. Porter, who later said he folded A-J, agonized for about 20 seconds before folding. Conkright quickly jammed the rest of his stack in the middle and Zand, with about 200,000 behind, made the call.

Conkright: {K-Diamonds}

Zand:

Trips for Conkright against Zand's open-ended straight flush draw. The turn {J-Diamonds}

made a full house for Conkright, but Zand was still drawing live to a straight flush. The river {7-Diamonds}

made him a straight, but it wasn't enough.

After counting down Conkright's stack and paying him off, Zand is left with only 30,000 in chips.

Playing Seven-Handed

[user75032]

With four players remaining on one table and three on the other, play has now consolidated to one seven-handed table. Once we lose one more player, we are done for today.

MacPhee Eliminated

[user75032]

We missed the preflop action, but John Conkright was all in against Kevin MacPhee. Conkright held the red queens; MacPhee held the black eights. There was no help for MacPhee on a board of {4-Diamonds}

, and after the dealer counted down Conkright's stack, MacPhee was left with only 70,000.

"You've been a thorn in my side all day," MacPhee said to Conkright. "Nice hand."

The remainder of MacPhee's stack went in the middle a few hands later on a jack-high flop. His {J-?}

was behind Nathan Templeton's pocket kings and did not improve. MacPhee earned $36,442 for his exploits.
