Pietsch Steals Chip Lead

Pietsch: {3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts} / {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Shebell: {5-}{q-}{7-} / {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Christine Pietsch hit a broadway straight on sixth street to steal a huge pot and the chip lead from Darren Shebell. The pot was limped four ways on third street, but when Shebell max bet for 30,000 on fourth street, Pietsch was the only taker. Shebell bet 30,000 once more on fifth street and got a call from Pietsch.

On sixth and seventh street it was Pietsch who started betting after Shebell checked. He called each time and showed his set of fives, but they were no good compared to Pietsch's straight.

Sorel Mizzi Eliminated in 6th Place ($22,235)

Sorel Mizzi - 6th place
Sorel Mizzi - 6th place

Christine Pietsch: (XX) / {5-Hearts} - bring in and fold
Richard Ashby: (XX) {9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{3-Clubs} - fold
Sorel Mizzi: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} / {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts} / {8-Clubs}
Darren Shebell: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades} / {k-Diamonds}

Christine Pietsch brought in and Richard Ashby called. Sorel Mizzi completed and Darren Shebell called; Pietsch folded and Ashby called.

Ashby bet out on fourth street and Mizzi thought about it for some time before raising. "I call!" announced a suspiciously cheerful Shebell; Ashby called too and they were at fifth street.

This time Ashby checked, and Mizzi now bet all in for 17,000. "Sorel Mizzi, stud champion!" shouted a passing Mike Matusow. He couldn't have been more wrong. The action moved over to Shebell, who raised. Back to Ashby, who tanked for a minute or two while Mizzi showed his down cards to a couple of railers. Eventually Ashby folded, and Mizzi and Shebell turned their cards up.

Once the cards had all been dealt, Mizzi could only boast a pair of eights. He was standing and wishing the rest of the table good luck before he'd even seen the last two cards. Shebell's set of deuces were good, and our field is now five.

Every Chip Matters

Sorel Mizzi is getting extremely short in chips. He recently completed under the gun with the {a-Diamonds} showing. Mizzi was happy when everyone folded, saying "Double up baby, ship it!"

He'll need a few more of those to get back into contention. Then again many of the chips on the table are just shuffling around. We haven't had a lot of big action since our two recent double ups, and no bust outs in over an hour and a half.

Heimiller Makes a Recovery

Dan Heimiller: {q-}{q-}{5-} / {5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}
Darren Shebell: (XXX) / {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Owais Ahmed was involved as well, but folded on fourth street with {q-Diamonds}{2-Spades} open to the elements to a bet from Darren Shebell. Dan Heimiller called, though.

Shebell and Heimiller checked down fifth and sixth streets and Shebell checked seventh as well before calling a bet from Heimiller. Heimiller turned over two queens and a five for two pair, and Shebell just mucked.

Shebell remains our chip leader after that on 580,000. Heimiller made a bit of a recovery and once his chips were stacked up they looked to number around 190,000.

Mizzi Doubles Through Heimiller, Remains Short

Mizzi - raking it in
Mizzi - raking it in

Dan Heimiller: {q-Clubs}{9-Spades} / {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} / {10-Hearts}
Sorel Mizzi: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} / {7-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {j-Clubs}

A short raising war between Sorel Mizzi and Dan Heimiller had Mizzi all in on third street. They turned that cards up and waited for the rest of their respective hands to be dealt.

"Straight!" announced Heimiller as he turned over his last down card, revealing the {10-Hearts} which did not make a straight. A pair of sixes was the best he could do.

"Doesn't matter," said Mizzi, who was now holding trip jacks.

Mizzi doubled up to around 150,000, although he lost a small pot to Christine Pietsch next hand to drop him back to 110,000. Heimiller was sitting on 135,000 after that.
