An unfamiliar young man, upon receipt of what looked like a Bloody Mary with a bunch of olives on a stick hanging out of it:
"I can barely play stud eight sober."

Caught in a Quandary
Andreas Hoivold and John Juanda reached seventh street with 
and 
showing respectively. Juanda led, leaving the Norwegian in somewhat of a quandary. A
fter much deliberation - which included pulling his cards together, fingering his chips, and umming and ahhing like it was the final question of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, he eventually succumbed ("I have to call") and threw in the necessary trips.
Juanda revealed 
for a trip queens, only for Hoivold to flip a seven for an inferior set.
Whilst Juanda leaps up to 9,000, a frustrated Hoivold is back down to below his starting stack with 4,200.
Aggression from Men
Men Nguyen is up to 8,000 after taking a pot down on seventh street. He was the aggressor on each street before his opponent folded on the end.
Nguyen: {X}{X}{X}/
Opponent: {X}{X}{X}/
Opponent: {X}{X}{X}/
- folded sixth street.

Hodge Fund
Marc Hodge: 
/ 
Mikhail Tulchinskiy: 
/ 
Third player: 
, in no particular order
Mikhail Tulchinskiy was all in on third or fourth street and betting continued at a rather sluggish pace between "Macon" Marc Hodge and a third player. When they turned over the cards, Tulchinskiy's two pair, kings and fives, was good for the high, and Hodge took the low.
After that, Tulchinskiy was still pretty short on 3,500. Hodge meanwhile bumped his stack up over the 20,000 mark.
The Mouth Silenced
We arrived at Mike Matusow's table and saw him call a bet on fourth street, then get the rest of his chips in on fifth street.
Mike Matusow: /
Opponent: /
Matusow's pair was ahead on fifth street, but after he caught the 
and his opponent caught the 
on sixth street, Matusow could only win half the pot as his opponent made a low.
On seventh street his opponent caught the and made two pair. Matusow squeezed his final card, but shook his head and flipped over the , ending his tournament.
Pat on the Back
We strolled by Pat Pezzin's table just in time to see most ofhis chips being shipped across the table. He looked down at his remaining 600 with a wry smile.
Next hand, though, the smile was somewhat less wry, as he tripled up with trip sixes to put him back up to a still short but slightly more manageable 2,000. The long grind continues for the Event #21 finalist.
