[user22113]

for two pair, aces and fours. Yee mucked.

Do We Believe Him?

[user22113]

Jeffrey Lisandro completed the {A-Diamonds}

on third street, then called when Dutch Boyd raised the {J-Hearts}

. Boyd caught running eights on fourth and fifth and bet both streets, with Lisandro calling. Lisandro caught an eight of his own on sixth street, setting up these boards:

Boyd: x-x / {J-Hearts}

Lisandro: x-x / {A-Diamonds}

Lisandro bet sixth street, with Boyd check-calling, then bet again on seventh. Boyd check-called again. Lisandro dramatically turned all off his cards over and threw them down on the table. He had {A-Spades}

in the hole for two pair, aces and sixes.

After Boyd mucked, Lisandro remarked, "I didn't look."

Time Grows Short for Mercier

[user22113]

Jason Mercier has fallen to less than five big bets in his stack, officially putting him in "the Danger Zone". He tried one raise on "Miami" John Cernuto, raising fourth street, then called the rest of the way as Cernuto kept firing. Both players checked the river, with Cernuto showing down {A-Diamonds}

/

/

for two pair, aces and kings. Mercier's board showed x-x / {Q-Spades}

/ x, only long enough for him to muck.

Jason Mercier Eliminated in 16th Place ($4,646)

[user22113]

It took two hands to send Jason Mercier to the exit. He was crippled at the hand of Ed Pardey, whose split nines turned into trip nines by the river; Mercier's board was showing an open pair of jacks before he mucked it.

A few hands later, Mercier was all in on third started with {A-Hearts}

/

. Steven Stencil got in there with {q-Diamonds}

/

. Stencil made a pair of nines; Mercier made a pair of deuces, which was not enough. He's out in 16th place, earning $4,646.

Dutch Boyd Eliminated in 15th Place ($4,646)

[user22113]

Oh dear. We're losing some of the star power that was left in this event. Dutch Boyd has recently hit the rail, courtesy of Thor Hansen. Boyd was all in on third street showing the {K-Spades}

; Hansen and Daniel Studer got in there with the {8-Spades}

and

respectively.

On sixth street, Hansen was showing x-x / {8-Spades}

against Studer's x-x / {6-Hearts}

. Hansen made a gutsy bet there that Studer called; Hansen bet again on the river and got Studer to fold what was probably the best hand -- since Hansen had only a pair of threes! He said that he could tell that threes had Boyd beat and made the play to fold the better hand.

Boyd never showed his hand. His board develoepd x-x / {k-Spades}

/ x and, true to Hansen's prediction, could not beat a pair of threes.

Max Troy Eliminated in 14th Place ($5,939)

[user22113]

Max Troy's day is over. He was all in on fourth street against Jeff Lisandro, who showed a pair of queens. The cards came flying quickly at that point, so we're not sure what Troy finished with. Whatever it was, it couldn't beat queens.

Troy will walk away with $5,939.

Simon Yee Eliminated in 13th Place ($5,939)

[user22113]

We thought there might be a slackening in the pace of eliminations, but that hasn't been the case. Simon Yee is next out, putting himself all in on third street with {A-Clubs}

/

and being called by Mitch Schock's split eights. Yee made a pair of queens on sixth street, but Schock rivered a second pair of sevens to take Yee out in 13th place. He will walk away with $5,939 in prize money.
