Rutter Has a Flutter

Stuart Rutter: (XXX) / {3-}{2-}{7-}{6-}
Opponent gentleman: (XXX) / {a-}{2-}{4-}{10-}

We found Stuart Rutter betting out on seventh street, a hefty pot already in the middle. His opponent, who didn't have many chips behind, thought about it for a moment or two, but ultimately folded.

Rutter, who has spent the entire day at the Table Of Death (current other residents - Jason Mercier, Bryan Micon, George Lind and Luis Velador), is now flying high on 29,000.

No for Humberto

An awful lot of shouting and laughing alerted us to the fact that Humberto Brenes was in the process of busting out.

His first four cards were {2-}{3-}{4-}{5-} - but the poker gods were unkind and supplemented them with another {2-}, another {5-} and a {j-}. His opponent didn't have a particularly impressive hand, but managed to beat Brenes' jack low, and the Costa Rican and his plastic shark hit the rail.

Johnston Done

Berry Johnston: {4-}{8-}{10-} / {3-}{Q-}{K-}{J-}
Seat 6: {A-}{8-}(X)/ {6-}{6-}{7-}{2-}

Berry Johnston was all in for his last 1,100 on third street and was up against two opponents. Johnston caught only high cards on the remaining streets while his opponent in Seat 6 was able to make a 8-7-6-2-A low.

Johnston was eliminated from the tournament.

Binger Exits Gracefully

"I actually don't feel too bad about this," said Michael Binger - we missed the action but there was a grand total of zero chips in front of him - "Because now I can go home, have a good night's sleep before the PLO."

Said erstwhile table neighbour Bryan Micon, "I'll win this one, you win the PLO."

Deal.

"I Had You Beat I Guess"

Daniel Negreanu completed the bet with {4-} showing. Only the player in Seat 1, who showed {5-}, called and the two went to fourth street.

Seat 1 checked his {3-} and Negreanu checked his {6-}. Seat 1 again checked after receiving a {q-} on fifth street so Negreanu bet after getting a {k-}. Seat 1 folded immediately.

"I had you beat I guess," Negreanu said. "I wasn't sure, I thought you might check-raise." Negreanu is up to around 10,000.

Doft Grinds Mizrachi Down

Michael Mizrachi was all in by sixth street when we caught up with the action; betting continued between Mickey Doft and another player.

Come showdown, Doft turned over an 8-6 low that he'd made on sixth street. Mizrachi had been drawing to an 8-7 low that never came in, and he duly busted out. The third player mucked, and Doft took the whole pot, putting him back up to 16,000.

One out, one in, though - Mizrachi's former seat is now being occupied by David Chiu.

Table 303

As players are eliminated and tables broken, players are given new seating assignments; as such, new table rosters are emerging. Perhaps the most fearsome lineup is over at Table 303 which looks like this:

Seat 2- Richard Brodie
Seat 3- Jason Mercier
Seat 4- Steve Zolotow
Seat 6- Michael Binger
Seat 7- Bryan Micon
Seat 8- Jose-Luis Velador
