Dale Phillips Eliminated

[user75032]

It seemed to take a long time, but we finally found a 28th place finisher. Dale Phillips was all in preflop against Josh Schlein and Jason Zimmerman. Schlein and Zimmerman checked the action down on a board the developed {Q-Diamonds}

. Zimmerman showed {A-Clubs}

, trip nines. Phillips had flopped huge with {K-Hearts}

but missed everything.

We're now on a pause for a table re-draw.

A full double up for Derek Raymond, who reraised from the small blind to a raise from Josh Schlein, then bet out on the flop and called all in to a raise.

Raymond: {A-Hearts}

Schlein:

Board:

Raymond's up to 70,000, Schlein's down a little to 170,000.

Pescatori Inches Back Towards Solid Ground

[user75032]

It was looking grim for the Italian Pirate. Max Pescatori was committed from the blinds with {10-Clubs}

and found himself against Jeff Tunkel's {A-Hearts}

. Solution? Flop two pair! Pescatori made tens and three on a flop of {10-Hearts}

, then faded every card he needed to fade on the {9-Clubs}

turn and

river to secure a double-up.

Pescatori is still mighty short, but having 27,000 chips buys him a little more time.

Pescatori Out on the Plank

[user75032]

Disaster for Max Pescatori. His {4-?}

flopped a set of fours, {K-Hearts}

. The only problem was that Jeff Tunkel was in there with {K-?}

? ? and flopped a set of kings. There was a bet from Pescatori on the turn {J-Spades}

that Tunkel raised. Both players checked the {A-Hearts}

river. Pescatori was unable to fill his straight draw or his low draw and therefore lost the whole pot. He's down to 12,000 chips.

Divine Grace for Rabbi

[user46392]

Max Pescatori raised, and David Rabbi found himself all in.

Pescatori: {A-Spades}

Rabbi:

-- although he said he'd only seen the first three of those cards

Board: {9-Clubs}

Amazingly, it was the {3-Hearts}

that saved Rabbi, who scooped the pot with nothing more than a pair of threes.

Various disgruntled voices around the table piped up.

"I would have knocked him out."

"Everyone would have."

"Except for the donkey that raised," finished Pescatori.

Mavro Crippled, Busted

[user46392]

Peter Mavro ran into a spot of bother after raising from the cutoff and getting called by James "Flushy" Dempsey in the small blind. Flushy bet out on every street of the {K-Diamonds}

board and Mavro called, until the river -- he folded leaving himself just 6,000 and flashing {A-Hearts}

for a busted low and a busted straight. Flushy showed him {A-Clubs}

.

A few hands later and Mavro's last went into the middle, and indeed never came back out again -- he is busto.

Zimmerman Hits the Board Hard

[user75032]

It was a check-call from Josh Schlein on a flop of {Q-Clubs}

. He was in the pot with Jason Zimmerman. When the turn fell {J-Hearts}

, Schlein led out with a bet of his own that Zimmerman raised all in. Schlein called. We never saw his hand; Zimmerman turned up trip jacks, {A-Diamonds}

, then promptly rivered aces full of jacks when the {A-Spades}

hit the river.

Zimmerman is up to 75,000. Schlein falls to 106,000.

Level: 18

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 0

Yeh Eliminated

[user75032]

Well, that didn't take long. Kenny Yeh raised from early position preflop and was called by Mike Matusow and Patrice Boudet. Matusow had first action on a flop of {9-Spades}

and led out with a bet. Boudet folded but Yeh called.

On the turn {5-Clubs}

Matusow checked to Yeh, who bet. Matusow then check-raised enough to set Yeh all in. He called with {A-Diamonds}

, the second nut low and a club draw. Matusow showed down {A-Spades}

, the nut low and a straight six. When the river fell {J-Diamonds}

, Yeh was out of the tournament.

Matusow is on 140,000 and (apparently) feeling good.

Trouble for Kenny Yeh

[user75032]

Kenny Yeh is here today in an orange fisherman's hat. He must have been fishing for a fold in a recent pot against Michael Keiner. Yeh bet the {A-Clubs}
