Jesus Saves

Shannon Elizabeth was involved in a pot with Chris "Jesus" Ferguson in which she got all in by the end of the hand. When the cards were revealed, here's what we saw:

Elizabeth: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs}
Ferguson: {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {7-Clubs} {6-Spades} {4-Diamonds}

Elizabeth took the high and stayed alive with Ferguson scooping only the low half of the pot.

Chad Survives All In

Norman Chad completed the bring-in with the {3-Clubs} in the door, and Alex Jung came along, showing the {6-Hearts}. Jung bet out when the {7-Spades} hit him on fourth street, and he continued the betting on each successive street. Chad called him down all the way, getting himself all in by the end.

Chad: ({A-Clubs} {2-Clubs}) {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {5-Diamonds} ({4-Spades})
Jung: ({7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}) {6-Hearts} {7-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs} ({7-Diamonds})

Both men nailed their money card on seventh street, Chad making his wheel and Jung spiking quads. Power hands on both sides, and the pot is chopped up.

The Dutchman Flying High... And Low

Marcel Luske
Marcel Luske
Marcel Luske: (X) (X) {4-Clubs} {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} (X)
Tex Barch: (X) (X) {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {10-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} (X)

Barch bet on third and fourth and Luske called. On fifth and sixth, Luske bet with Barch calling.

After receiving their down cards on seventh, Luske counted out a bet, but did so past his cards so the floor determined it a bet. Barch put out the chips for the call, as he thought it was a blind bet by Marcel. Luske was a little confused as he wanted to raise, but couldn't do so. The betting was over and the cards were shown.

Luske: {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs} {5-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {A-Clubs}

Barch mucked his hand when he saw that Luske had enough strength for both the high and the low.

Jacob Scoops with Low Cards

Alex Jacob completes the ante showing the {A-Diamonds}, and Sirous Baghchehsaraie calls him with the {4-Diamonds} up. Jacob bets on fourth and fifth street, getting called both times. The hand is checked down on sixth and seventh.

Jacob: {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {A-Spades} {2-Diamonds} ({3-Clubs} {4-Spades} {6-Hearts})
Sirous: {4-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {7-Hearts} (X) (X) (X)

Jacob's two pair is good enough for the high, and he takes the low with his six-four.
