Sirous Jamshidi: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Chip Jett: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Farzad Bonyadi: (X)(X) 
/ (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 
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.
'"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.
Howard Lederer (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
George Trigeorgis (X)(X) / 
/ (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 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.
