Jan Suchanek fell to his tournament death in a limit hand against Andy Bloch. Andy tabled a pair of jacks on the river, and that was good enough to eliminate Suchanek.
With Andrew Pantling falling from one of the chip leaders to out during a few hands of 2-7 Triple Draw, the tournament is down to two tables of six. This is what the new tables look like.
Table 1
Seat 1: Jan Suchanek
Seat 2: Eli Elezra
Seat 3: Robert Campbell
Seat 4: David Bach
Seat 5: Andy Bloch
Seat 6: Mike Watson
Table 2
Seat 1: Maria Ho
Seat 2: Justin Smith
Seat 3: Joseph Serock
Seat 4: Gary Benson
Seat 5: Joel Ettedgi
Seat 6: Derek Cheung
Justin Smith and Gary Benson are really going at it. Smith was down to just 5,000 after doubling Mike Watson and losing a 2-7 hand to David Bach. They were both seated at the same table after their previous one was broken, and the hostility continued. Finally, Smith had had enough. He stood up and pulled out four $25,000 plaques. "These are my chips," Smith said. "If you want to go once I bust out."
"Is that all you've got?" Benson responded, dropping four of his own $25,000 plaques on the felt. "Are you gonna get some more? If we're gonna play, we've gotta play for more than that."
They quieted down to play a Razz hand. Smith tripled through Benson and Derek Cheung and put his plaques back in his pocket.
Level: 11
Blinds: 0/0
Ante: 0
Pot Limit Omaha
Mike "Mad Dog" Watson bet 10,000 at a flop with 11,000 already in the middle. His only opponent, Justin "Boosted J" Smith, quickly moved all in, and Watson called all in immediately for 26,000.
Watson: for a wrap draw
Smith: for top set
The turn was brick for Watson, but the river gave him a straight and doubled him to 63,000. Smith was left with 15,000.
Pot Limit Omaha
Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Eli Elzra has just done something he tells us he has never done before, and thats check the nuts when he didn't even realize he had them. He now swears in jest that he was going to go for the check-raise though.
Andrew Pantling put in a min-raise from the button and Elezra made the call from the button.
The flop turned over and Elezra check-called the 3,000 chip bet of Pantling. The turn brought the and with it a couple of checks. The river saw the hit the felt and both players again checked.
At this point Elezra asked if his opponent beat a straight as he turned over his . Pantling then pointed out that Elezra had a flush. Elezra then looked and realized hrm, he did have a flush, that is before looking closer and realizing he had a straight flush.
Andy Bloch and the other players at the table then joked about Elezra getting a penalty for checking down the nuts. For your information, if he had have just smooth-called a bet with the nuts Elezra would have in fact got the very penalty they joke about.
