Finne vs. Lefkowitz vs. Zeidman

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Cory Zeidman: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} / {x-}
Timothy Finne: {x-}{x-} / {8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} / {x-}
Matt Lefkowitz: {x-}{x-} / {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} / {x-}

We picked up action on fourth street when Matt Lefkowitz bet a pair of sixes and both Cory Zeidman and Timothy Finne called. The same action occurred on both fifth and sixth, and then Lefkowitz slowed down with a check on seventh. Zeidman proceeded to fire out a bet, Finne folded and Lefkowitz made the call.

Lefkowitz: {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Zeidman: {3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Lefkowitz took the high with his two pair while Zeidman took the low.

"Biggest Pot of the Tournament so Far"

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Eli Elezra got himself a piece of the pot.
Eli Elezra got himself a piece of the pot.

Max Pescatori: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{k-Diamonds} / {x-}
Eli Elezra: {x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs} / {x-}
Cory Zeidman: {x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} / {x-}
Timothy Finne: {x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{a-Spades} / {x-}

We just happened upon a massive four-way pot that was accurately described by Eli Elezra as, "The biggest pot of the tournament so far."

We didn't catch the action until after a raising war on sixth, after which Max Pescatori found himself all in. Both Elezra and Cory Zeidman checked dark headed to seventh, and Timothy Finne opted to bet dark. Upon receiving their last card, Elezra raised, Zeidman folded and Finne called.

Elezra: {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Finne: {q-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Pescatori: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}

Finne had the flush prior to seventh, while Elezra made the best low. Pescatori had trip kings, but it wasn't enough to get a portion of the pot. He was eliminated on the hand while Elezra and Finne chopped the pot that they estimated was around 120,000!
