Shannon Elizabeth Busts Another

Omaha-8:

Shannon Elizabeth was check-raised on the turn and then check-called the river on a board of {J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades}. She couldn't reveal her cards fast enough as she showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a rivered set to take down the pot and eliminate her opponent.

Elizabeth now has a mountain of chips worth 27,000 in front of her.

When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Arm-Wrestle!

The table of Vanessa Rousso, Mickey Appleman, Mel Judah and Marcel Luske just got even tougher as they were joined by Marco Traniello.

Upon joining the table Traniello was greeted by Luske who soon challenged him to an arm-wrestling competition. We're not exactly sure why the challenge was offered, but it looks like they've decided to stick to battling it out on the felt instead.

"I Missed..."

Omaha-8:

Marcel Luske was involved in a four-way pot preflop which included Marco Traniello. On a flop of {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {5-Hearts}, Traniello bet and Luske raised. Traniello made the call.

On a turn of {K-Hearts}, Traniello check-called a bet from Luske.

The river card was the {Q-Clubs} and this time Traniello check-folded a bet from Luske.

Luske flipped over {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} and said, "I missed my low." He then flipped over his other two cards, which were the {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}. Luske smiled as he raked the pot.

Luske is now up to 33,000 in chips.

Annie Duke Nearly Triples Up

Razz:

Annie Duke was involved in a big three-way pot. All streets were bet to the end. Duke bet out on the river showing {A-?} {6-?} {9-?} {A-?} . She received a call from both of her opponents. One was showing {2-?} {7-?} {5-?} {K-?} and the other was showing {3-?} {5-?} {K-?} {4-?}.

Duke tabled a 9-6 low which was good enough to take the pot.

After the pot, Duke is up to 24,000 in chips.
