Day: 3
Go, Go, Freddie Ellis! (Redux)
Ellis has taken down the first sizable pot of the final tale. He called with the after Tim Phan completed the . Perhaps feeling left out, Jeff Lisandro then raised the . Both other players called.
Ellis took over the betting lead on fourth street and on fifth street. On sixth street, the boards were:
Phan: (X-X) /
Ellis: (X-X) /
Lisandro: (X-X) /
Lisandro picked up first action with an open pair and bet out. Phan called before Ellis raised. Both Lisandro and Phan called to the river and checked it to Ellis. His single bet on the river was enough to fold both opponents.
Goooooooo, Freddie!
Phan Hangs On
More Chips for Phan
Railbirds in Attendance
Alessio Isaia and Tiffany Michelle have also been spotted sweating the action.
Jeff Lisandro Eliminated in 9th Place ($36,267)
Lisandro's stack took hit after hit, coming up second-best in several hands to start the day. He was all in by fourth street on his final hand, starting with split tens. Greg Mueller and Ville Wahlbeck went all the way to the river with Lisandro. It was Wahlbeck who collected the pot. He started with three small spades, caught a fourth spade on fourth street, and then runnered his way into two pairs, kings and sixes, by the river.
Lisandro earns $36,267 for ninth place and everyone else earns a little extra elbow room at the table.

Ellis' Stack Gets Even Bigger
He led that street, then checked the river. Schertzer tried one more time with a bet on the river, but Ellis wouldn't be denied. He called and was rewarded the pot when Schertzer couldn't produce anything better than his starting pair of sixes.
From This, an Empire was Built...?
Pescatori Hears the Music
On the next hand, Eric Drache completed the bring-in with the up, and Pescatori popped it back with the . Drache called.
Drache: (X-X) /
Pescatori: (X-X) /
On fourth and fifth streets, Pescatori put in bets and Drache was the caller. On sixth, Drache picked up the leading queen-high board, but he checked. Pescatori fired another bet, and Drache put in a check-raise to 60,000. That was enough to get Pescatori out, left now with just the voices in his head for entertainment at the table.
