Fellows Flounders

Zac Fellows Eliminated
Zac Fellows Eliminated
Stud-8

Zac Fellows has been unable to add a second HORSE bracelet to the cabinet after his recent elimination from the tournament.

His demise came in a massive multi-way pot that included David Benyamine, John Monnette, Phil Ivey and John Kabbaj.

Fellows was showing {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades} but couldn't improve as Ivey scooped the entire thing, as only Ivey can, as he tabled {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for the six-high straight to scoop. Ivey moves to 250,000 as Fellows is busto.

Stud

Oppenheim: (X-X) {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Spades} (X)

David Oppenheim raised the bet of Patrik Antonius on fourth street before firing bets on fifth, sixth and seventh streets.

Antonius made the call down and showed ({J-?}{J-?}-X) for just a pair of jacks which was good as Oppenheim shrugged and mucked.

Oppenheim is back on life support with just 30,000 chips.
