Class Dismissed

The Professor
The Professor

Howard Lederer got the last of his chips in against Richard Ashby on fourth street. Ashby made trip jacks while Lederer missed his low draw and hit the rail.

Ashby is up to 74,000.

Nguyen Crippled

Sergey Altbregin: (X)(X) / {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts} / (X)
Scotty Nguyen: (X)(X) / {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / (X)
Brian Townsend: (X)(X) / {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} / (X)

We caught up with the action after all the cards were dealt out. Townsend checked, Altbregin bet, Nguyen called and then Townsend tank-called. Altbregin held {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for a seven low. Townsend tabled the {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for two pair, eights and sixes. Nguyen couldn't beat either hand and mucked, dropping to just 1,600 chips. Townsend moved up to 90,000 and Altbregin to 69,000.

Francisco Hernandez (X)(X) / {3-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{A-Hearts} / (X)
Cyndy Violette (X)(X) / {7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} / (X)
Mikhail Smirnov (X)(X) / {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{A-Spades}{7-Clubs} / (X)

We caught the action on fifth street, Violette betting out and getting called by both opponents. Violette led again on sixth, Smirnov called, Hernandez raised, and both Violette and Smirnov committed another bet. All hell broke loose on the river as the action was four-bet three ways.

Smirnov showed {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for an ace-high flush and took the high while Violette tabled {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, winning the low with 6-5-3-2-A. Hernandez mucked. He is down to 23,000 while Violette is up to 111,000 and Smirnov is sitting on 93,000.

Seed Survives

Phew!
Phew!

Huck Seed (X)(X) / {4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} / (X)
David Bach (X)(X) / {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} / (X)
Opponent (X)(X) / {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} / (X)
Allen Kessler (X)(X) / {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Seed was all-in for the bring-in and got three callers. They continued betting on the side-- well, except for Allen Kessler, who folded on fourth street.

Seed slapped his {6-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} on the table. "Flush!" he exclaimed. It was good to take down the side pot and keep him on life support with 4,700 in chips. Bach showed {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and won the main with a pair of kings, taking his stack up to 88,000.

Hansen Scoops Bach

Gus Hansen: (X)(X) / {5-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} / (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) / {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} - fold
David Bach: (X)(X) / {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} / (X)

After the unknown player folded on fourth, Bach bet fifth and was called by Hansen. On sixth, Bach bet and then Hansen called again. On seventh, Bach bet again and Hansen made another call.

Hansen revealed the {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} from underneath for a six-high straight and a low. Bach mucked and dropped to 52,000 chips. Hansen moved up to 78,000.
