Rousso Eliminated

No-limit Hold'em

Vanessa Rousso was all in preflop against Keith Lehr. Lehr held pocket queens to Rousso's jacks. Lehr was yelling the entire time for a jack. Even Todd Brunson joined in and yelled for a jack to come off as well. The poker gods must have been busy because no jacks fell on the board and Rousso was eliminated.

"Thanks for rooting for me." she said as she exited the room with much more of a smile than expected.

Mercier Drops Back Down, Then Busts

No-limit Hold'em

Jason Mercier raised to 1,750 from the hijack seat before Adam Friedman made the call from the cutoff. The two players took a flop of {Q-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}. Mercier fired a continuation bet of 2,650. Friedman called.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and again Mercier fired. He made it 4,700 to go after some deliberation. Almost immediately, Friedman asked how much Mercier had behind. "About 9,000." responded Jason.

Friedman then stuck out enoughc hips to put Mercier all in. The proud Miami Dolphins fan, Mercier, folded. Soon thereafter, he was eliminated from the tournament in unknown action.

Negreanu Doubles Back

Pot-limit Omaha

Daniel Negreanu has struggled thus far today, seeing his stack dwindle down below 7,000. Just now he got all of his chips in the middle on a flop of {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Negreanu held {K-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for top set, while his opponent, Jeff Tims, had {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for bottom set.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and the river the {K-Hearts}, giving Negreanu quads. He's back to 12,200 now.

Sabic Hits Draw, Luske Out

Pot-limit Omaha

Andy Black raised to 1,750 from under the gun and got three callers, including Marcel Luske (button) and Sebastien Sabic (small blind).

The flop came {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Sabic bet the pot -- 7,500 -- and Black folded. The fourth player reraised all in for 10,850, Marcel Luske also put his last 12,000 in the middle, and Sabic called.

Sabic showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs} for the big Broadway wrap. Luske had {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} for top two. And the third player in had {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for an open-ender.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts}, giving Sabic his straight, and the river was the {2-Diamonds}. Luske is out, Sabic is way up to 66,000 now, and Black is still doing fine with 40,000.
