/ (X)
Jennifer Harman called a bet on third street and moved all in for her last 200 chips on fourth in a three-way pot. Her other two opponents checked it down the rest of the way, and Harman tabled

Mackey Gets There
Omaha-8
Daniel Negreanu raised it up from late position with James Mackey making the call in the small blind. They saw a flop of 
and Mackey led with a bet. Negreanu put in a raised and Mackey made the call.
The turn was the 
and Mackey checked and then called the bet from Negreanu to see the 
complete the board on the river. Mackey checked, Negreanu bet and Mackey check-raised for the last of his chips. Negreanu made the call but mucked when Mackey tabled 
for the straight.
Negreanu is at 53,000 with Mackey moving up to 33,000.
Tough Draws
Every table in this stacked 10k field is full of recognizable faces and difficult opponents. A few are particularly intimidating. Table 323 includes Michael Binger, Steve Sung, James Mackey, Chris Reslock, Chris Tryba, and Scotty Ngyen. The other two seats are filled by Daniel Negreanu and you guessed it...Annie Duke. That's going to be an entertaining one to watch.
The feature table is no picnic either. Joe Hachem, Brandon Adams, Todd Brunson, and Kirill Gerasimov are all sitting in a row.
Godfather Gone
Doyle Brunson met his demise in a Limit Hold'em hand. He's joined on the rail be recent eliminees George Lind, Isabelle Mercier, and Frank Kassela. Kassela was blinded down to under 10k last night while he focused on the $2,500 Razz final table where he won his second bracelet of the summer around 4:30 a.m.
Fricke Dents Binger
Hold'em
Jimmy Fricke raised the button before Michael Binger three-bet from the big blind. Fricke made the call and saw a 
flop. Binger fired a bet on the flop, the 
and again on the 
river, with Fricke calling him down the whole way.
Binger showed 
for three pair, the best two being aces and kings, but Fricke revealed 
for trip aces to take it down.
Fricke is at 38,000 with Binger dropping to 39,000.
After the hand there was a stray 100-denomination chip sitting in between Fricke and Scotty Nguyen and neither knew who it belonged to. They decided to settle it in traditional fashion - by playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. Fricke appeared the more comfortable RPS player and was successful in the heads-up duel with scissors over paper.
Elezra Gone in a Flash
Hold'em
Pawel Andrzejewski raised under the gun, and out of the blinds, Eli Elezra three-bet all in. Andrzejewski called with 
to race Elezra's 
. The 
flop gave Eli top pair. No good since it also brought Pawel a set of snowmen. Neither player had a heart, and the 
on the turn quickly ended any hopes of a chop. The 
river finished the job and sent Elezra packing.
Shchemelev Not Slowing Down
Stud-8
Fresh off his final table in last night's $2,500 Razz event, Vladimir Shchemelev's form is showing now signs of slowing down after he just scooped a big pot against David "Not Bakes" Baker.
The cards were already spread on the table when we arrived, so the order of cards is unknown, but it was clear that Shchemelev would rake in the pot with his ace-high flush and eighty-five low.
Shchemelev: 
Baker: (X-X-X) / 
Shchemelev is up to 48,000 with Baker back to 35,000.
Mortensen on the Move
Stud-8
David Grey: (X-X)/
Carlos Mortensen: (X-X)/
/(X)
Alexander Kuzmin: (X-X)/
/(X)
David Grey completed with the , and Carlos Mortensen checked. Kuzmin bet, and both players called. Grey opened with a check on the next street, and this time, Mortensen bet. Kuzmin raised, and Grey ducked out while Carlos called. On fifth, Kuzmin began with a bet, and the Matador flatted. Kuzmin bet out again after sixth street was dealt, and Mortensen raised. Kuzmin three-bet, and Mortensen four-bet, forcing his opponent to call all in. With the action complete, Kuzmin showed down 
for trip tens. Mortensen's was good for the pot with an ace-high flush. He knocked out Kuzmin and moved further up the chip counts to 142,000.
Clements Scoops Lisandro
Stud-8
Scott Clements has just scooped a nice pot against Jeff Lisandro in Stud-8. Lisandro check-called on every street as Clements was the aggressor.
Lisandro: (X-X-X) / 
Clements: (
) /
Clements tabled a seven-high straight which was good for the high and the low, as Lisandro sighed and mucked. Clements jumps to 44,000 with Lisandro back down to 40,000.
