Doyle Doubles

[user37786]

Hold'em:

It looked like Doyle Brunson might be heading to the rail when he bet the last of his chips holding {A-Clubs}

and found he was dominated by Patrick Bueno's {A-Spades}

. But Doyle paired up on the {3-Diamonds}

flop and when the {5-Hearts}

fell on the turn and river Brunson doubled up to 150,000, which drew a cheer from the crowd pressed against the rail.

Bueno's Turn

[user37786]

Hold'em:

After dropping a hand to Doyle Brunson, Patrick Bueno got those chips back (and more) against Joseph Michael. With the board reading {J-Clubs}

, Michael led out with a bet and Bueno raised. Michael made the call and watched as Bueno showed {Q-Diamonds}

for the full house. Michael walked away from the table after that hand, one that left him with 400,000 in chips.

$50K H.O.R.S.E. Results Have Serious Implications on POY Race

[user25067]

Four players that are still alive in the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event still have a shot at taking over the lead in the WSOP Player of the Year race from Jacobo Fernandez-- Barry Greenstein, Daniel Negreanu, Erick Lindgren, and Andy Bloch.

To take over the lead, Greenstein would need to finish at least 6th, Lindgren 5th, Negreanu 2nd, and Bloch would have to win the bracelet.

Doyle Brunson Eliminated in 16th Place ($124,320)

[user25067]

Stud:

Doyle Brunson (X-X) {Q-Hearts}

(X)

Phil Ivey (X-X) {7-Spades}

(X)

Barry Greenstein (X-X) {9-Diamonds}

(X)

Doyle Brunson was all in on third street against Barry Greenstein and Phil Ivey. Action continued on the side between Ivey and Greenstein, Ivey betting out on fourth streets and Greenstein calling him down, check-calling Greenstein's fifth and sixth street bets, and then leading out on seventh, Greenstein calling once more.

Ivey had the winner-- a pair of kings with an ace kicker-- and both Greenstein and Brunson mucked. Texas Dolly's third $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament was at an end, and he made his exit to an ovation from the rail.
