If he had to do the same again, he would, my friend, Lisandro
ABBA aside, there's definitely a lot of action involving Jeff Lisandro's stack. He was one of, if not the chip leader after two levels, but the pre-dinner break period pretty much halved his stack back to its starting level.
Undeterred, he's now receiving what looks like a pretty full-on elbow-based massage and continuing to play pots with no appearance of frustration. Just now he took one down on the river in Stud hi-low against Joe Serock. Lisandro check-called fourth and fifth streets and their hands looked like this:
Lisandro: [XX]
Serock: [XX]
The betting ceased at this point, with both players checking sixth and after a brief pause, the final card. Serock seemed reluctant to turn his hand, and when Lisandro flipped over his it was enough to ship the whole pot his way.

Negreanu: Masseuse, pillow and water accessories sold separately
Daniel Negreanu and Chino Rheem together make a pretty railbird-friendly table. They clashed just now in Stud 8-or-better with Rheem making the final bet on the river which Negreanu called.
Rheem showed his hand: [ ] and Negreanu mucked his [XXX] .
Negreanu is now on 9,000, while Rheem is comfortably over 11,000.

It looks like Chad Brown is having a bit of a rough time of it. He's just been moved table, but is sitting like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders - or the weight of food poisoning with which he reckons he might have been struck. Very unlucky if this rumour is true, as they've got to make it until 3am if they want to continue their Omaha/Stud hi-low bracelet contention tomorrow...

Vitaly Lunkin - no more bracelets for him today
Vitaly Lunkin is busto after a 10k+ pot brewed between himself and two other players in Stud 8-or-better.
I was attracted to his table by the magic words, "Player all in," and found Lunkin with the rest of his pretty short stack in the middle and Eric Buchman on his immediate left contemplating a raise. He did so, and picked up a third player, creating a side pot. At this stage:
Lunkin: [XX]
Buchman: [XX]
Third Guy: [XX]
Lunkin received the on sixth, while Buchman picked up the and the third player the . Buchman bet 600 into the side pot, and got a call.
At the river, Lunkin's two pair (he held down) was no good against Buchman's straight and seven low (his hand in full [ ] )and this was good, in fact, for this whole juicy pot. Buchman up to nearly 20k.

Layne Flack just won a few thousand in the Omaha hi-low. He saw a flop of in position against one player, who check-called his bet which he made while saying, "That's a good flop."
The turn brought the and the same check-bet-call combo.
On the river once again Flack elicited one bet, but his opponent mucked when he saw his x x and therefore rivered second nuts.

After 20 minutes of level Six, an odd announcement just informed them of a small tweak to the advertised blind level. Instead of the Stud ante being 100, bring in 150, the bring in is also 100. This makes no difference to your average stack, but there was a little bit of muted grumbling from the shorties.

I caught this Stud hand from fifth street when it looked like Andreas Krause was teetering on the brink of an all-in. He bet 800 showing [XX] leaving himself just 550 behind. His potential caller (showing [XX]) sighed, looked at the chips and the pot and made the call. He got a but Krause picked up the which finished off his flush (he held the monstrous down). Scoop for Krause.
A tablemate saw the sigh of his doubler-upper and said, "Low chips trapped you in the hand."
"Of course! Like four thousand in the pot, he only had 1300 bucks..."
Now he has 6,000, though, and that won't be an issue for a while...

Raymond Davis refused to be check-raised off a board of on the turn by Sabel Cohen. He stuck with it and saw the which saw a marked slowdown in action. In fact, both players checked which left Davis to scoop the pot showing . He's hovering around 8k which is, at least, above his starting stack.

Kessler: Who needs 25 chips when you have lots of threes?
As they prepare to wave goodbye to the 25 denom green chips, short stack Allen Kessler makes his bid for bustout or glory with a promising [XX] which he bet at the much bigger-stacked Dario Minieri. Minieri (with 13k or so) paused for a minute and smiled, saying, "I have the crap of the crap!" but called the <1000 anyway. They decided to flip their cards over and see what happened...
Kessler: .. .. ..
Minieri: .. ..
Kessler back to 4k but still hovering around the danger zone, while I reckon "The crap of the crap" is some kind of Italian opposite to "Creme de la Creme." I like it.
