Dennis Foli was eliminated when he flopped top pair with A-10 on a A-Q-Q board and Leon Lewis pushed with K-K. Tom Draeper folded (he said he folded A-J) and it looked like Foli was about to double up when a King spiked on the turn to knock him out.
The last woman in the Senior Event field, Jeanne David was eliminated when her pocket Sixes ran into Ernest Bennett's pocket Aces
The way players keep falling you'd think were were an hour into Day 1, not five players from the final table. After the short stacked Ronald Matusek was eliminated in 17th place, Sanford Cohen was knocked out when his A-K was outflopped by Ed Smith's A-J.
Then, Tom Draeper lost a huge pot when he raised to 70K in early position and Thomas Catanzaro moved all-in. Draeper called with A-J, Catanzaro had pocket Queens, and once again the Ladies held up. That pushed Catanzaro up to 590,000 and sent Draeper to the rail.
Tony Korfman won two hands to more than double his stack. He took a tidy pot from Thomas Catanzaro when he flopped a Queen with A-Q and his 60K bet was enough to make Catanzaro give up his pocket Sevens.
A few hands later Korfman raised to 30K and John Zaiss moved all-in with pocket Fives. Korfman called with pocket Deuces and spiked a Deuce on the flop to send Zaiss out.
Today has been a good day to have a Queen in your hand. Leon Lewis raised to 40K with , and David Icke moved all-in for 202,000 with . Lewis called and it looked like Icke was about to double up . . . when the spiked on the river to bust him in 14th place. Lewis now has 770K.
Thomas Catanzaro raised to 33K from the cutoff and Ernest Bennett raised to 133,000. Catanzaro called, and he also called Bennett's 100K bet after the flop. When the hit on the turn Bennett moved all-in for 175,000. Catanzaro folded...and Bennett flipped over for the Royal Flush. That boosted Bennett's stack up to 670K and left Catanzaro with 250,000...but more that he would've had if he hadn't folded.
Right before the break Harrill called from the small blind with after Leon Lewis raised. Lewis held and that held up to eliminate Harrill in 12th place.
Two of our short stacks tangled when Marvin DeVore raised all-in from the small blind and Thomas Catanzaro called. DeVore held pocket Tens and Catanzaro . The gave Catanzaro the nut flush draw. The fell on the turn, but the on the river gave Catanzaro the flush and the 300,000 pot. DeVore was left with just 17,000.
