Keith Sexton Eliminated

Keith Sexton (X)(X) / {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{J-Hearts} / (X)
Gary Benson {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} / {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} / {5-Diamonds}

Keith Sexton put the rest of his chips in the middle against Gary Benson, but his pair of aces for high could not hold against Benson's eight-high straight. Benson also made a low with 7-6-5-4-2 and scooped the pot, eliminating Sexton.

Sorel Mizzi (X)(X) / {7-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / (X)
Mike Sexton (X)(X) / {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} / (X)

We picked the action up on fourth street, as Mizzi bet out and Sexton raised. Mizzi called, then check-called another bet on fifth street. Sexton led on sixth and seventh street and Mizzi called him down.

Sexton showed {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for an eight-high straight, good for the high and the low. With that scoop, Sexton is up to 44,500.

Steve Zolotow: (X)(X) / {4-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / (X)
Tom Dwan: (X)(X) / {7-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} / (X)
Abe Mosseri: (X)(X) / {9-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{A-Spades} / (X)

After a player with the {3-Clubs} up brought in, Zolotow completed. Dwan raised and then Mosseri tanked before reraising with his nine up. The bring-in player folded and then both Zolotow and Dwan called. When Dwan called, he was all in.

Mosseri did the betting for the rest of the action, leading every street. Zolotow stuck around and even raised Mosseri after seventh was dealt. Mosseri called. There was a hefty side pot that developed, but Mosseri and Zolotow shopped it up. Mosseri had a full house for the high after he revealed the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Zolotow made the low with the {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} underneath. Dwan couldn't beat either of them in the main pot and quickly headed out the door.

Zolotow now has 58,000 and Mosseri has 37,000.

Jamshidi Takes Over

Ron Ware: (X)(X) / {5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} / (X)
Simon Kearney: (X)(X) / {7-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades} / (X)
Sirous Jamshidi: (X)(X) / {6-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / (X)

Picking up the action on fourth street, Kearney was up first and bet. Both his opponents called. On fifth street, Ware checked, Kearney bet, Jamshidi called and then Ware called. On sixth, the exact same action occurred as the previous street and then the same on seventh.

Ware held the {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} underneath for aces and nines. Kearney mucked, unable to beat that, but Jamshidi turned up the {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}-X and made trip fours to scoop in the pot. It was a hefty one and put Jamshidi up to 130,000 where he looks to be leading the way. Ware dropped to 26,000 and Kearney dropped to 21,000.
