Savage: x-x /
/ xOpponent: x-x /
/ xMatt Savage tried his best to buy a pot with a river bet, but it didn't work out for him. Savage was the bring-in, then raised after his opponent completed an eight. That player called.
It was one bet on each of fourth, fifth and sixth streets, with Savage check-calling fourth and sixth and calling fifth when his opponent had the betting lead.
On the river, Savage tried firing into his opponent with a bet, but it was for naught. Savage's opponent called with
in the hole, eights and fives with no low. Savage turned up 
in the hole, a pair of sevens for high and no low. His opponent scooped.
Table Breaking Order Changed
Appleman Eliminated
Mickey Appleman was all in on third street facing Lacey Jones and Steven Stencil. Jones brought in with the
showing and then Stencil completed before Appleman put the last of his chips in. Jones came along for the ride. She and Stencil checked the action down on every street from there on and here's how their boards ran out.Jones: (X-X)
(X)Stencil (X-X)
(X)Appleman: (X-X)
(X)After all the cards were dealt, Stencil turned up his hole cards to reveal
and complete his club flush. Jones mucked her hand and then Appleman squeezed his cards. He revealed 
for just two pair. Appleman was sent to the rail.
Rousso's Three Pair Fall to Sexton's Two
Rousso:
/ 
/ 
Sexton:
/ 
/ Soulier: x-x /
FOLDA big pot started developing early in a hand contested among Vanessa Rousso, Keith Sexton and Fabrice Soulier. After one player limped in, Rousso completed. Sexton raised and Soulier three-bet. Rousso thought things over before calling. Sexton also called.
Soulier still had the lead on fourth street. He bet and was called by both players. On fifth street Rousso made an open pair and took over the lead. Her bet was raised by Sexton, chasing Soulier out of the pot. Rousso called.
On sixth street, Rousso made two open pair. She bet and was called by Sexton. Both players checked the river, where Rousso's two pair, jacks and nines, was no good against Sexton's aces and tens.
"Where were the jacks, man?" Rousso complained after the hand.
"Or the nines and fives," another player helpfully pointed out.
The Music Man Sings No More
Introductions on Brasilia 177
"I can't believe I get to play with the Quiet Lion," replied Micon.
"Do you know Kenny?" Brodie asked, pointing to Kenny Shei. Introductions were made, with Micon then asking if Shei knew Micon's friend, Dustin Wolfe.
Fixed-limit tournaments are so much friendlier than no-limit tournaments.
Situation Crticial for Appleman
Mickey Appleman started the day with just 3,600. He won an early pot, but is now down to just 1,800 after losing a hand that went to showdown. Appleman led out on a board of
and was called by Gavin Writer. Writer raised the turn 
after Appleman bet again. Appleman called that raise, then check-called one more bet on the river. Writer turned up 
for a ten-high straight and the nut low."Even a blind squirrel," said Writer with a smile as he dragged the pot.
Tough Start for the Mighty Thor
Even Thor Hansen can't overcome the nut-nut. All tables started on the Omaha Hi/Lo round. With the board showing
, Hansen check-called a river bet from his opponent, then prepared to throw his cards into the muck. Sure enough, Hansen's opponent showed down 
for the nut low and the nut high (no flushes on the board).
