John Hennigan Eliminated

[user25067]

Omaha-8

David Bach raised from the cutoff, John Hennigan three-bet from the small blind, Bach made it four bets and Hennigan called. The flop came down {J-Spades}

. Hennigan checked, Bach bet and Hennigan called. Both players checked the {7-Diamonds}

on the turn. The river was the {K-Clubs}

and Hennigan led out. Bach made the call.

"I have jacks up," said Hennigan as he tabled {A-Spades}

, but Bach had the better two pair with {A-Diamonds}

for kings up. Bach scooped the pot and Hennigan was left with only 43,000.

On a subsequent hand, Mike Wattel opened from UTG and Hennigan called from the button. The last of his chips went in on the {K-Hearts}

flop.

Wattel showed {A-Hearts}

having flopped the nut flush. Hennigan had {7-Diamonds}

for a lower flush and was drawing dead. He hit the rail and Wattel chipped up to 515,000.

English Only!

[user67765]

Tony G has just received an official warning. He was joking with Mikhail Tulchinskiy and asked him how many chips he held. Nothing strange about that, except that he asked in Russian.

He also didn't realize a tournament director was standing right behind him, and the G copped a warning and was told to speak in only English at the tables!

Back-To-Back Scoops for Chen

[user67765]

Omaha-8

A short-stacked Bill Chen has found back-to-back double ups in Omaha-8 against Chau Giang.

In the first hand Chen was all in with {A-Diamonds}

against Chau Giang's {A-Hearts}

. The board ran out {Q-Clubs}

to give Chen a wheel for the low and six-high straight for the high to scoop his way back to 80,000 chips.

A moment or two later the two were at it again. Chen fired the turn and the checked down the river on a board of {K-Clubs}

.

"I got half," said Chen, and tabled {2-Spades}

for the low.

"No, you got the whole lot," replied Giang as he showed {9-Clubs}

.

"Scoop again? With queen-high?" laughed a surprised Chen as he's now back to 120,000 chips.

Kassela tabled ( {3-Clubs}

"Argh, that's the one I needed!" he said, flipping ( {K-?}

)

(X).

Kassela heads to the break with 690,000 chips.
