Freddy Deeb Doubles Through Chip Reese

Andrew Black raises under the gun to 36,000, Chip Reese reraises from the cutoff to 136,000, Freddy Deeb moves all in from a blind position for 92,000, and Black thinks for a while before he folds.

Both players stand pat, and Deeb shows 8-7-5-4-2 to Reese's 9-7-4-3-2 to win the pot with an 8-7 low and double up to about 225,000 in chips.

Reese does a little rabbit hunting, and discovers that he would have paired his seven had he drawn a card.

Shawn Sheikhan vs. Erik Seidel

Shawn Sheikhan raises from the cutoff to 40,000, and Seidel calls from the big blind. Each player draws one card. Seidel checks, Sheikhan bets 90,000, and Seidel thinks for more than a minute before he calls. Sheikhan shows 7-6-4-3-2, and Seidel mucks. Shawn Sheikhan wins the pot.

Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson Eliminated in 12th Place

Chip Reese raises from middle position to 35,000, Chris Ferguson calls from the cutoff, Parris 'Butch' Holmes moves all in from the big blind for about 125,000, Reese folds, and Ferguson calls all in.

Holmes draws one card, Ferguson draws one card. They each turn over the four cards they kept, showing:

Holmes: 8-6-5-3
Ferguson: 7-6-4-2

They are each dealt one card. Holmes flips over the {7-Diamonds}, giving him an 8-7 low, and Ferguson says, "I can still win with an eight." Ferguson can also catch a five or a three.

But Ferguson flips over the {10-Diamonds} for a 10-7 low. Holmes wins the pot to nearly double up.

Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson is eliminated in 12th place. The top seven players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $51,669.
