Pat Pezzin Eliminated in 7th Place ($16,826)

Pat Pezzin - 7th place
Pat Pezzin - 7th place

Sorel Mizzi (XX) / {3-Clubs} - bring in/fold
Darren Shebell: (XX) / {a-Spades} - fold
Richard Ashby: {4-Diamonds}(XX) / {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Pat Pezzin: {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}(X) / {4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Dan Heimiller: (XXX) / {5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Dan Heimiller was the aggressor all the way down to seventh street, when it was Pat Pezzin who bet. He got two callers and turned over two pair, sixes and sevens. Heimiller mucked, but Richard Ashby turned over two pair, aces and fours, and Pezzin was reduced to just 20,000 or so.

So a few hands later, and Sorel Mizzi completed. Pezzin raised all in, Mizzi called, and they turned their cards over as the dealer prepared to deal out the rest of their hands.

Mizzi: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for trip jacks
Pezzin: {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of sixes

And with that, we were down to six.

Big Pot for Shebell

Darren Shebell and Sorel Mizzi have been getting involved in a large number of pots together. In this latest one, Shebell came out on top after hitting two pair.

Shebell: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts} / {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Mizzi: (XXX) / {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}

It was Mizzi who completed on third street with Shebell making the call. Shebell led out with four 20,000 chip bets through to the river, with Mizzi calling the whole way. Shebell's two pair were good for the pot, which was worth about 100,000.

Shebell is now sitting in second place behind Dan Heimiller.

Pietschy Keen

Christine Pietsch

Christine Pietsch: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} / {2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Richard Ashby: (XX) / {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} - fold
Pat Pezzin: (XXX) / {10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Dan Heimiller: (XX) / {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{2-Hearts} - fold

Christine Pietsch brought in and three players just called, so they all got to see a fourth card for a minimal investment.

Richard Ashby bet out on fourth street and both Pat Pezzin and Dan Heimiller called behind; Pietsch however chose to raise - she announced, "Complete," which prompted Heimiller to ask the floor if that should just be a call, but the raise stood. Ashby folded but the other two called and they were three-way to fifth street.

Pietsch bet out on sixth street and this time Pezzin called again but Heimiller folded. Two players saw a sixth card.

Pietsch just checked on sixth and then called Pezzin's bet; she checked in the dark on seventh street and Pezzin checked behind.

Pietsch turned over two pair and looked to Pezzin to reveal something better - but instead he mucked and Pietsch took the pot.

Pietsch - up to 340,000
Pezzin - down to just 70,000

Ahmed Unhappy, But Mizzi's Making a Comeback

Sorel Mizzi: (XX) / {7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Owais Ahmed: (XX) / {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}

Owais Ahmed bet out on fourth and fifth streets but by sixth he had backed off a little and just check-called the bet from Sorel Mizzi, muttering to himself.

Ahmed checked again on seventh street and this time when Mizzi bet, Ahmed disappeared into the tank, looking distinctly unhappy about his predicament. When he emerged from his own private tank of sadness, he folded, and in so doing dropped to 225,000. Mizzi meanwhile was back up to 250,000.

"Don't Even Bother"

Darren Shebell: (XX) / {2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Sorel Mizzi: (XX) / {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

After Shebell made the bring in, Mizzi completed and Shebell called. Both players checked fourth street. When Mizzi bet fifth street he was met with a raise from Shebell, which he would call.

When Shebell saw the third nine fall on Mizzi on sixth street, he picked his cards up and threw them into the muck saying, "Are you kidding? Don't even bother."

A few hands later, Shebell had still not gotten over it. At one point he said, "Here I am, a stud player playing against a bunch of hold 'em players. Ace, jack, queen, let's go!" Perhaps he needs to freshen up on the resumes of his opponents. Dan Heimiller has a bracelet in a limit/stud event, while some of our other players are accomplished at mixed games in their own right.

Heimiller Extends His Lead

Dan Heimiller: {6-}{8-} / {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Sorel Mizzi: (XX) / {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Darren Shebell: {10-}{10-} / {5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Dan Heimiller bet out on fourth street and Sorel Mizzi called; Darren Shebell raised and Heimiller and Mizzi both called that too.

All three checked fifth street, but on sixth Heimiller, by now showing trip sevens, bet out. "I'll take a chance," he announced.

Mizzi folded pretty swiftly but Shebell took another moment.

"I'm not bluffing," Heimiller told him, "I've got three sevens."

Eventually Shebell folded, showing a pair of tens in the hole.

"I needed a ten," Heimiller told him, revealing {6-}{8-} for a straight draw as well as his trip sevens.

"Yeah, you did," agreed Shebell.

Heimiller - 500,000
Shebell - 320,000
Mizzi - from chip leader to just 85,000 in one level

It's a Nein for Trip Nines

Richard Ashby: {9-}(XX) / {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Dan Heimiller: {6-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Spades} / {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Both players checked on fourth street when we caught up with the action, and Dan Heimiller bet out on fifth . Richard Ashby made the call. Come sixth street, with a pair of nines showing, Ashby bet out. Heimiller called, and they received their last down cards.

Ashby bet out again on seventh street and this time Heimiller tanked up for a while - and then raised. Ashby threw his hands up in the air in frustration but tossed in the call anyway with a resigned air. Duly Heimiller turned over a flush, and with a sad nod, Ashby showed him the case nine and mucked the rest of his cards.

After that, Heimiller was up to around 350,000. Ashby meanwhile dropped to 150,000.

It Takes Two to Tangle Twice

Owais Ahmed and Richard Ashby got involved in a couple of consecutive hands against each other with Ahmed coming away on top each time.

In the first hand, our boards looked like this:
Sorel Mizzi: (XX) / {2-Clubs} - folds
Ahmed: (XXX) / {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Ashby: (XXX) / {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Mizzi made the bring in to get things started, but folded after Ahmed completed and Ashby called. On fourth and fifth streets, Ashby led the betting with Ahmed calling. However on sixth and seventh streets, Ahmed led out with bets. While Ashby called on sixth street, he folded on seventh.

When the hand was over Ashby asked, "Did you make a straight?"
Ahmed replied, "Doesn't matter, I had the best hand the whole way."
Ashby got the last word in, saying "How do you know? You don't know what I had."
Darren Shebell decided to chirp in, saying "Yeah, a pair of queens."

On the next hand, our cards looked like this:
Ahmed: (XXX) / {7-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Spades}
Ashby: (XXX) / {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

After Ahmed completed, Ashby raised and Ahmed made a third raise with Ashby calling. Ahmed led out with bets on fourth and fifth streets with Ashby calling. It would be Ashby who bet on sixth street and Ahmed made the call. On seventh street, Ahmed bet, and Ashby folded.

That's to hands in a row where Ahmed won big pots off Ashby without having to flip up his cards.
