Eugene "MyRabbiFoo" Katchalov

Eugene Katchalov (X)(X) / {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} / (X)
Tom Schneider (X)(X) / {10-Spades}{J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds} / (X)

We picked the action up on fifth street with Katchalov betting out and Schneider making the call. Katchalov continued to lead out on sixth and seventh streets and Schneider called him down.

Katchalov turned up {5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for trip fives. Schneider mucked and Katchalov took it down. Katchalov is up to 39,000 and Schneider is down to 31,800.

Benyamine Scoops Bloch

Andy Bloch: (X)(X) / {4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} / (X)
David Benyamine: (X)(X) / {3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{K-Clubs} / (X)

Bloch bet fourth and was called after Benyamine checked. After fifth, Benyamine bet first and Bloch called. On sixth, Benyamine bet again and was called. Both players then checked seventh street.

Bloch turned up the {J-}{6-}{5-} for just a pair of fives. Benyamine bested him, turning up the {A-}{3-}{2-} for trip threes and won the pot. Benyamine's up to 27,000 and Bloch is down to 19,000.

Brett Richey: (X)(X) / {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} / (X)

Richey called a bet on fifth, both players checked on sixth and then Richey called a bet from Hollink again on seventh. It looked like this one was going to be a chopped pot and it was when Richey turned up the {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Hollink tabled the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Jamshidi to the Top

Sirous Jamshidi: (X)(X) / {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Clubs} / (X)
Chip Jett: (X)(X) / {4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} / (X)
Farzad Bonyadi: (X)(X) {3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} / (X)

Jamshidi bet out on fourth and was called by both players. On fifth, Jamshidi and Jett checked to Bonyadi. He fired a bet and both his opponents called. On sixth street, Bonyadi bet with his new pair of fours. Both Jamshidi and Jett called. On seventh street, Jamshidi bet after Bonyadi checked. Jett mucked his hand and then Bonyadi tank-called.

Jamshidi turned up the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and held a broadway straight. Bonyadi couldn't beat that or produce a low and mucked his hand, slipping down to 22,600. Jamshidi looks to be the leader of the field right now with 85,000 chips. Jett was left with 26,700 after he folded on seventh.

All Eyes on Dwan

'"This is so exciting, because I don't have any money on it!" Annie Duke said with a smile. "It's like watching a huge train wreck!"

As Austin McCormick put the last of his chips in with jack-ten against David Randall's ace-ten, a hush fell over the Stud-8 tournament, several players craning their necks to watch the results. McCormick was eliminated and Dwan is now three-handed for the bracelet, which means Sorel Mizzi is officially sweating his wager. Earlier, one of Mizzi's tablemates asked him when he'd really start worrying about his bet. His response?

"When durrrr has the chip lead and they're three-handed."

Well, he doesn't have the chip lead... for now.

Ship it to the Professor

Howard Lederer (X)(X) / {7-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} / (X)
George Trigeorgis (X)(X) / {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} / (X)

Lederer completed on third street and Trigeorgis called. Lederer check-called a bet on fourth street, then raised on fifth street. Lederer bet sixth and seventh streets, Trigeorgis calling him down.

Lederer turned over {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for an ace-high flush and a 7-6-3-2-A low. Trigeorgis' pair of fours and 8-7-4-2-A low were no good and Lederer took down the pot, increasing his stack to 48,000.
