Shannon Doubles Again

donpeters

If there's one thing Shannon Elizabeth knows how to do this tournament, it's double up.

Elizabeth: (X) (X) {5-Hearts}

(X)
Doug Ganger: (X) (X) {A-Diamonds}

(X)

Ganger bet on third and Elizabeth called. On fourth, Ganger bet again and again Elizabeth called.

On fifth street, Shannon bet out and Ganger called. She then bet her last chips on sixth street and Ganger called.

Elizabeth turned over {7-Spades}

for sevens full. Granger showed trip eights with {8-Spades}

. Neither had a low and Elizabeth doubled back to 11,500.

She seems to double back to around this same amount each time, dwindles back down, and then doubles again. No one can seem to bust her.

Golf or Poker?

donpeters

Daniel Negreanu has been carrying a black golf grip around with him all tournament long. When he's not involved in a hand, Negreanu is practicing his grip to make sure he is prepared for hitting the course next time around. One may think his mind isn't focused on poker, but he seems to be doing all right and reading hands very precisely as usual.

Negreanu Flushed Out of Here

[user66118]

Daniel Negreanu has just been ousted from our field. Kid Poker held {K-?}

(X), and he got it all in on fifth street. His opponent, Noah Jefferson, was working with {2-Diamonds}

(X). On seventh street, Jefferson called his card as he squeezed it out: "Nine of diamonds." Sure enough, the {9-Diamonds}

hit him, making his flush. Negreanu didn't like his last card, and he shoved his holdings into the muck as he headed for the exit.

McKenna Put Up a Fight

[user66118]

Michael McKenna has just made trip eights to scoop in a hand against Alex Jacob and Sirous Baghchehsaraie. McKenna was all in with his last 2,700, but that win chipped him back up to right around 11,000.

Shortly after that hand, however, McKenna was knocked back down and out of here.
