Chris Ferguson Has Been Eliminated

Omaha-8:

After Chris Ferguson raised to 5,000 he had just 400 chips behind. Steve Sung called blind, and bet 400 blind after the flop came {A-?} {7-?} {7-?}. Ferguson called and might've had hopes that his {A-?} {Q-?} {5-?} {3-?} was ahead...until Sung rolled over {A-?} {A-?} {K-?} {10-?} for the flopped full house. And with that Ferguson's day came to an end.

Omaha-8:

After a {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades} flop Patrik Antonius bet out and after Daniel Negreanu folded Isabelle Mercier made the call. The {3-Clubs} came on the turn and Antonius check-called Mercier's bet. The {4-Hearts} fell on the river, Antonius again check-called when Isabelle bet, and she showed down {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts} and scooped the pot. She's now up to 273,000 while Antonius is down to 65,000.

Bruno Fitoussi is Eliminated

The runner-up in last year's $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event, Bruno Fitoussi was not able to replicate his run and has been eliminated. He was extremely short after losing a hand to Patrick Bueno and went out in a razz hand where he couldn't beat Hasan Habib's jack low.

Hoss_TBF and Donkey Bomber Chop it Up

Omaha-8:

Matt Hawrilenko opened for a raise from middle position, Roy Thung called from the small blind and Tom Schneider called from the big blind. The flop was {10-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. Thung and Schneider check-called a bet from Hawrilenko. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the action was checked around. The river was the {A-Spades}. Thung checked, Schneider bet, and both Hawrilenko and Thung called.

Schneider: {2-?} {3-?} {6-?} {7-?}

Hawrilenko: {A-?} {A-?} {7-?} {9-?}

Thung: {A-?} {3-?} {4-?} {J-?}

Schneider took the low with 6-5-3-2-A while Hawrilenko won the high with his rivered set of aces.

Patrik Antonius' Troubles Continue

Razz:

Patrik Antonius lost another chunk of his stack in a hand with Allen Kessler. After calling Patrik's bets all the way through fifth street, Kessler took the lead when a six gave him an {A-?} {A-?} {5-?} {6-?} board. Antonius called showing {4-?} {4-?} {9-?} {3-?} and he called again after the last card was dealt. Kessler showed {J-?} {8-?} {3-?} and Antonius couldn't beat Allen's A-3-5-6-8. Patrik is now down to 54,000 while Kessler is up to 182,000.

Let's Put THAT on TV

In a Stud-8 hand John D'Agostino said he had trip eights. Freddy Deeb didn't believe him, and when D'Agostino insisted he was telling the truth Deeb said, "Wanna bet half a million and take a lie-detector test?"
