We recently reported that Jerry Buss had slipped to 3,200 chips. However he was recently involved in a hand that saw him climb back up to close to 5,000.
Seat 1: (X-X) / - FOLDED
Seat 4: (X-X-X) /
Buss: (X) /
Seat 6: (X-X) / - FOLDED
This hand kicked off when all three players called a raise from the player in Seat 6. On fourth street, action was checked to Seat 6 who once again placed a bet. The player in Seat 1 folded, but Buss and the player in Seat 4 made the call.
It was Buss who made a bet on fifth street, getting a call from Seat 4, but Seat 6 folded. Buss bet again on sixth and seventh street, with Seat 4 calling both times.
Buss tabled a full house and has some more chips to his name.
Gaspard: /
Opponent: (X-X-X) /
Jean Gaspard seems to have taken the chip lead after this hand in which he raised on fourth street, called a bet on fifth street, and bet on sixth street before both players checked through seventh street.
In the end, Gaspard's two pair were good for a win and a 14,800 chip count.
Jean Gaspard: / his last down card
All-in player: / on seventh
"I'm gonna make the spade," warned Jean Gaspard as he and his all-in opponent prepared to turn over their last down cards. His opponent was in the lead with kings up.
The all-in player turned over the for two pair. Gaspard turned over the for a flush.
"I told you I'm gonna make the spade," said Gaspard cheerfully; some brief good-game type pleasantries were exchanged and Gaspard's opponent then took his leave.
After that, Gaspard is our chip daddy by a long way, on 21,000.
Binger: (X-X-) / - FOLDED
Mizrachi: (X-X-X) /
Opponent 1: ( /
Opponent 2: (X-X-X) / - FOLDED
Michael Mizrachi found himself all in on fourth street while Michael Binger and two other players at the table duked it out all the way to seventh street where a bet from Opponent 1 was enough to get Binger and Opponent 2 to fold.
Mizrachi mucked upon seeing Opponent 1's set of kings.
It seems that Annette Obrestad will not be claiming her first bracelet in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event. Never managing to get above her starting stack to our knowledge, she has quietly and with the minimum of fuss hit the rail.
Four levels have been and gone, and it's time to hit the Poker Kitchen.

Time to get down to the serious business of this tournament.
We lost around a quarter of the field in the first four levels. Let's see how many we can drop in the next four before we call it a night.
We arrived just in time to see Bill Munley turning his cards over and wishing the rest of the table good luck - whatever he had it couldn't beat the, er, three pair that his opponent was holding, and he headed for the rail.
