, Evdakov led out for 80,000, then called all in when Mike Watson moved in. Evdakov had {A-Diamonds}

Two More Double-Ups

[user75032]

It seems like the short stacks ate their spinach at dinner. They continue to double-up left and right. Fabrice Soulier doubled up to about 70,000 by flopping a set of kings and the nut flush draw against Sorel Mizzi and having his hand hold. John Kabbaj was all in for 53,500 on a flop of {10-Spades}

and called by Jonathan Cantor. Kabbaj had a naked flush draw that filled on the river to overtake Cantor's turned straight.

New chip counts:

Soulier - 70,000
Mizzi - 350,000
Kabbaj - 150,000
Cantor - 90,000

Post-Dinner Slowdown

[user75032]

We've been back from dinner for forty minutes now, and play has been surprisingly slow. The remaining 31 players don't seem to be in much of a hurry to get their chips into the middle.

Lisandro, Lellouche Liquidated

[user75032]

There's little that's worse than going on an extended break with a very small stack and then having to come back and play maybe five hands before busting. That's what happened to each of Jeff Lisandro and Anthony Lellouche.

Lisandro was crippled right before dinner. He survived a couple of miniscule double-ups before getting his stack in again with {K-Hearts}

against Jonathan Cantor's {A-Hearts}

. Lisandro flopped two pair, {J-Diamonds}

, but a

on the turn gave Cantor a bigger two pair. Lisandro couldn't improve with the river {6-Spades}

. He's out in 33rd place.

Lellouche went out shortly thereafter, falling to Isaac Baron. Lellouche bet 16,000 on a flop of {K-Diamonds}

and Baron called. When the {6-Hearts}

popped off on the turn, Lellouche checked. Baron bet 31,000, drawing a check-raise all in for 101,000 from Lellouche. Baron quickly called with the nuts, {A-Diamonds}
