Brett Richey Eliminated

Stud-8:

Brett Richey {2-?} {9-?} {6-?}

Greg Mueller {4-?} {7-?} {4-?}

John Hennigan {A-?} {Q-?} {10-?}

We picked this one up on fifth street. John Hennigan bet out, Greg Mueller folded and Brett Richey called all in.

Richey turned up {A-?} {5-?} in the hole for a low draw, while Hennigan showed {K-?} {Q-?} for a pair of queens and a straight draw.

Richey missed his low draw on sixth and seventh, Hennigan made his straight, and Johnny World scooped the pot, eliminating Richey.

Luske Makes a Great Call

Marcel Luske
Marcel Luske
Razz:

Marcel Luske is showing a pair of jacks and a king after his opponent bet the final card in razz. Luske thought for a second and then made the call. His opponent claimed, "I have a king-low."

Marcel pounced from his chair and slammed his cards yelling, "Yes sir!" And then showed a jack-low, J-7-5-2-A for the best hand.

Razz:

Mark Vos: x-x-9-8-6-7
Johnny Chan: x-x-4-J-8-7
Phil Ivey: x-x-A-4-A-Q

Betting occurred on all streets with Vos leading the action. All players checked their final card. Chan turned up J-5-2 for an 8-low and the other two players mucked.

The pot was a big one and Chan has built up to around 140,000 chips.

Barry Greenstein Eliminated

Barry=Busto
Barry=Busto
The sight of Barry Greenstein signing a copy of his book "Ace on the River" is always a telltale sign that he's been eliminated from a tournament. The latest recipient of his book is Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, who just collected the remainder of Greenstein's chips and is now sitting on a 49,000 stack.

"Johnny World" Hennigan
"Johnny World" Hennigan
Limit Hold'em:

Amnon Filippi raised from under the gun. John Hennigan three-bet from the cutoff and then Brett Richey four-bet from the small blind. The big blind, Mark Vos, called, as did Filippi and Hennigan.

Flop: {10-Spades} {4-Spades} {2-Hearts}

Richey checked, Vos bet, Filippi raised, Hennigan reraised. Richey folded, Vos called, and Filippi called.

Turn: {K-Clubs}

Vos checked, Filippi checked, Hennigan bet. Both players called.

River: {9-Spades}

Vos and Filippi checked, Hennigan bet. Both players called again.

Richey said he folded Q-Q. Vos and Filippi both turned up A-A and Hennigan turned over 10-10 for the winning hand, a set of tens.

From worst to first and Hennigan is now approaching 80,000.
