Tom Headed in the Right Direction

Chad Holloway

Philip Tom made the call after the player in Seat 8 completed, and then check-called a bet on the turn. Fifth street saw Tom pair up and he wasted little time in leading out, and this time it was Seat 8's turn to call. The same action occurred on sixth street before both players checked seventh.

Seat 8: (x-x) / {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {8-Spades} {5-Diamonds} / (x)
Tom: {3-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} / {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {3-Spades} {8-Clubs}

Tom's trip threes was enough to take down the pot, increasing his stack to 18,200. That's still about half the average, but it's a step in the right direction.

Brunson vs. Lisandro

Chad Holloway

After Jeff Lisandro completed, Todd Brunson called and proceeded to call bets on both the turn and fifth street. Both players then checked sixth, leading to a check by Lisandro on seventh. Brunson took the opportunity to fire out a bet, which proved enough to take down the pot as Lisandro simply mucked.

Lisandro: (x-x) / {Q-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} / (x)
Brunson: (x-x) / {6-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {10-Spades} / (x)

Kenney Takes Some from Traniello

Chad Holloway

Bryn Kenney completed and was called by Marco Traniello, with the latter calling the former's bet on the turn. Fifth street saw Kenney check-call a bet before both players checked down sixth and seventh.

Kenney: {10-Spades} {2-Spades} {5-Spades} / {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs}
Traniello: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} {8-Spades} / {5-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {4-Spades}

Kenney's two pair was good and he chipped up to 69k.

Sigel Pillages Pescatori

[user66118]

Michael Sigel completed with the {9-Spades} , then called a raise from Max Pescatori and his {8-Clubs} .

Sigel: (x-x) / {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} / (x)
Pescatori: (x-x) / {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {2-Spades} / (x)

Pescatori was the one doing the betting through sixth street, but he check-called a Sigel bet on seventh.

Sigel showed {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} / {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} , and aces up earned him the pot.

Bach Busted

Chad Holloway

A short-stacked David Bach brought it in for the full 1,000 and received a call from the player in Seat 6. The latter turned around and led out on the turn, prompting Bach to call off his remaining 6,000.

Bach: {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} / {4-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} / {10-Hearts}
Seat 6: {K-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} / {J-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} / {9-Clubs}

Bach was in big trouble after his opponent paired aces on fifth, which would ultimately lead to his demise.

Ahmed Survives

[user66118]

Owais Ahmed was nearly all in during this hand with Perry Friedman.

Ahmed: (x-x) / {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {8-Hearts} / (x)
Friedman: (x-x) / {K-Spades} {A-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} / (x)

Friedman called a bet on sixth as we walked up, then checked dark to seventh. Ahmed's last bet nearly put him all in, and Friedman quickly, but reluctantly, called.

Ahmed showed {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} / {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {8-Hearts} , and his six clubs are plenty good enough to take the pot. Just like that, he's back up to about 24,000.
