Pescatori Scoops Lefkowitz

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Matt Lefkowitz: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} / {x-}
Max Pescatori: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} / {x-}

We caught the action on fourth street, where Lefkowitz led out and Pescatori called. Lefkowitz slowed down, check-calling bets on fifth, sixth, and seventh, then mucked when Pescatori tabled {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a flush and a low.

"Crazy Marco" Gets It All

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Marco Johnson: {x-}{x-} / {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} / {x-}
Gavin Smith: {x-}{x-} / {6-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} / {x-}
Adam Friedman: {x-}{x-} / {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

In a hand just before the break, defending champ Adam Friedman checked fourth street and "Crazy Marco" Johnson bet. Gavin Smith called, as did Friedman, and it was off to fifth. Again Friedman checked, and this time Johnson did the same. Smith seized the opportunity to toss in a bet, Friedman folded and Johnson came along to sixth.

Smith ended up check-calling a bet, and then did the same on seventh. Johnson tabled the {7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades} for nines with a low, which was good enough to scoop the pot as Smith sent his cards to the muck.

Meanwhile, Maria Ho has been eliminated from the tournament.

Mosseri Doubles

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Owais Ahmed: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} / {x-}
Abe Mosseri: {x-}{x-} / {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} / {x-}

Ahmed brought it in, Mosseri completed, and the rest of the players folded. Mosseri bet out on fourth, Ahmed called, and the two bet back and forth on fifth until Mosseri was all in for 7,100.

Ahmed: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Mosseri: {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Mosseri had a pair of eights and a low draw, and picked up a flush draw on sixth street. On seventh, Ahmed quickly turned up his down card - the {k-Spades} - and Mosseri flipped over the {7-Clubs}.

"I get everything," he said excitedly.

True enough, the {7-Clubs} was a gin card for Mosseri, giving him both a qualifying low and a flush. He dragged in the pot, doubling to 18,000 chips. Ahmed dropped to 40,500.

Levi Will Not be the Last Stud Standing

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We didn't catch the action, but we can confirm that Will Thompson has just eliminated David Levi. The cards were a bit jumbled, but here are the cards each player held.

Levi: {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Thompson: {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{a-Clubs}

We do know that Levi had a pair of jacks headed into seventh, which is where Thompson hit the {A-Clubs} to scoop the pot.

We caught the action on fifth street, where Ho check-called a bet. Pandya made a better board on sixth street, leading out, and Ho called. Ho called another bet on seventh, then mucked when Pandya showed {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a full house.
