Jerry Buss Triples Up at Hawrilenko's Expense

Jerry Buss
Jerry Buss
Jerry Buss (X)(X){5-?} {6-?} {7-?} {9-?} (X)
Bryce Yockey (X)(X){6-?} {6-?} {9-?}
Matt Hawrilenko (X)(X){2-?} {8-?} {A-?} {8-?} (X)

Matt Hawrilenko completed, Jerry Buss called all in, Bryce Yockey raised and Hawrilenko called. Buss made the low board on fourth street but with him all-in, the first action went to Yockey, who check-called a bet from Hawrilenko. Yockey checked again on fifth, Hawrilenko bet, and Yockey gave up his hand.

"I'm drawing to a nine," said Hawrilenko as he turned over {A-?} {9-?} in the hole. Buss showed {A-?} {J-?}. As their boards ran out, Buss made a 7-6 low while Hawrilenko could only manage a 9-7, and Buss tripled up to 3,000. Hawrilenko was left with 17,000-- essentially what he started the day with.

The Buss Stops Here

Jerry Buss (X)(X){8-?} {3-?} {A-?} {3-?} (X)
Eli Elezra (X)(X) {2-?} {K-?} {8-?} {5-?} (X)
Opponent (X)(X) {4-?} {K-?} {3-?} {2-?} (X)

Jerry Buss was all in on third street against Eli Elezra and one other opponent, who continued betting on the side. Elezra called bets on fourth and fifth street, while they checked it down on sixth and seventh.

Buss turned over {A-?} {7-?} {7-?}, having made three pair on the end. Elezra made a 9-8-5-4-2 low and the third player mucked. Buss hit the rail and Elezra raked in the pot.

Nicholson Climbs off the Short Stack

John Phan (X)(X) {4-?} {9-?} {4-?} {8-?} (X)
Ryon Nicholson (X)(X) {5-?} {A-?} {10-?} {8-?} (X)

John Phan completed on third street, Ryon Nicholson raised and Phan made the call. Nicholson continued to lead all the way to the river, Phan calling him down.

Phan turned up {A-?} {5-?} {7-?} for 8-7-5-4-A low, but Nicholson revealed {2-?} {4-?} {J-?} for an 8-5-4-2-A low and took down the pot. He's up to 22,000 after starting the day with only 3,700 in chips, while Phan slipped to 7,800.

Pappas Bests Bihl

Greg Pappas
Greg Pappas
Thomas Bihl (X)(X){3-?} {K-?} {Q-?} {K-?}
Greg Pappas (X)(X){4-?} {9-?} {9-?} {6-?}

Greg Pappas completed on third street and Thomas Bihl called. Pappas led on fourth street when Bihl caught a king, but he decided to peel one off and make the call. Bihl caught bad again on fifth with a queen while Pappas paired his nine. Bihl check-called another bet. When Bihl paired kings on sixth, he didn't even wait for Pappas to bet and insta-mucked his hand.

Pappas is up to 27,000 as we head into the first break of the day while Bihl is down to 5,500.
