Right Seat, Right Table, Right 'Chip,' Wrong Event

Chip Jett has just been eliminated, but from which event?

During his last hand a player came over to the table with a seating receipt claiming Chip was in his seat. Chip said it was his seat and that he had been playing the entire event. The floor is called over, and as it turns out, Chip was indeed seated on the right table and in the right seat -- but for tomorrow's event.

Testy Words At Doug Lee's Table

After losing most of his stack when his A-10 was outkicked A-J, Lee found himself involved in a hand with C.K. Hua, with both of them very low on chips. Hua moved all-in for around 200, and another player announced a raise and moved in a stack of about 4,000. Lee asked that the dealer remove the excess chips (only a pot-sized bet would be allowed) so he could do the math and decide whether or not to call.

The other player didn't much like that and kept telling Lee that he was going to fold anyway, to which Lee replied "Shut up." After the pot was straightened out Lee considered the situation, long enough that the other player called a clock. Lee eventually laid down his hand and the big raiser eliminated Hua with pocket Kings against K-7. The harsh words continued afterwards, though it's possible the break will help soothe the ruffled feathers. Well, maybe.

Soft-playing Shannon Elizabeth

Shannon Elizabeth
Shannon Elizabeth
On a flop of {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}, Shannon Elizabeth bets the pot and is called by the big blind. The turn is the {9-Hearts} and both players check. The river is the {4-Hearts}. Elizabeth bets 550 and the big blind flat-calls.

The big blind turned over the {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}-- he made the second-nut flush on the river after flopping trips... yet he didn't elect to raise Elizabeth on any street.

Humberto Brenes--The Last Honest Man

With two limpers Humberto Brenes saw a flop of {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {6-Clubs}. The player in the big blind bet and Humberto moved all-in. "I'll go to sleep," he said, indicating what his plans would be if he was knocked out. The other player chewed it over and eventually mucked 10-5. Humberto showed the A-10 and exclaimed, "Humberto never bluffs!" Naturally everyone in the room believes him 100%.

Andy Bloch Eliminated

After seeing a flop of {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}, Andy Bloch committed the last of his chips after flopping second pair and a gutshot draw with {9-Spades}{7-Spades}. His opponent held {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for a open-end straight draw and overcards, and that's what spelled Bloch's end, when the {K-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Dewey Tomko Goes Out

But it wasn't easy. After an initial raise Tomko moved all-in with {A-Spades} {K-Spades} and was called by a player with pocket Jacks. The flop hit them both pretty hard--{K-Clubs} {8-Spades} {J-Spades}, giving Dewey the top pair and the nut-flush draw but still behind his opponent's set. The {K-Hearts} fell on the turn to give his opponent a full house, negating Tomko's flush draw but giving him outs to a bigger boat. But the river card was a blank and Dewey Tomko was eliminated.
