The Jersey's Gone

Phil Laak raised to 14,000 with the {A-Hearts}{4-Spades} on the first hand back from the break and won the pot. Laak is no longer wearing the yellow jersey that he started the day with. He's still leading the way, but has reverted back to his normal black hooded sweatshirt with UnaBomber Poker patch on the left chest.

Phil Laak raised to 15,000 with the {10-Spades}{6-Spades}. David Benyamine called from the small blind with the {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and then Tony G called from the big blind with the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Benyamine checked. Tony G fired 20,000 and Laak called. Benyamine folded.

The turn card was the {6-Clubs} and Tony G bet 40,000. Laak folded his pair of sixes and Tony G picked up some chips.

"Had you crushed from the flop," said Tony G to Laak as the pot was pushed his way.

Frazer Raising His Baby Ace

Ian Frazer raised to 16,000 with a baby ace, the {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and scooped in the pot preflop after everyone folded.

It's very interesting to see how the players are adjusting their strategies based on the other players and the points system. Just moments ago, Frazer folded a wired pair of fives to a preflop raise from Vanessa Rousso and here ws just seen opening a small ace.

Giovanni Safina raised to 18,000 with the {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Luke Schwartz called with the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} from the big blind.

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Safina took the lead. He's seemed to flop a pair or better in every hand he's played. Both players checked and the turn was the {Q-Spades}. Schwartz fired 6,000 and Safina double checked his hand. He made the call and then the river was the {9-Hearts}. Both checked again and Safina tabled a pair of fours for the winning hand.

Rousso Trying to Build Back

Giovanni Safina min-raised from the cutoff with the {K-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Vanessa Rousso called on the button with the {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{8-Spades} with Rousso adding trips. Safina checked and Rousso bet 15,000. Safina folded and Rousso picked up the pot to add some chips to her stack. She's now on 241,000 and still one of the shorter stacks left.
