Laith Salem: {X-}{X-} / {8-}
John Monnette: {X-}{X-} / {J-}

Laith Salem: {A-}{3-} / {8-}
John Monnette: {7-}{2-} / {J-}

Here was the rest of their runout prior to seventh street:

John Monnette: {7-}{2-} / {J-}{A-}{Q-}{8-}

Salem was in the lead with a nine-eight against Monnette's eight-seven draw. Monnette held a chance as Salem turned over another {9-} on seventh street, but Monnette caught a {K-} and was eliminated.

Limit Hold'em

Iraj Parvizi raised in late position and Ian Johns made it three bets in the small blind. Benny Glaser four-bet to 24,000 in total with 7,000 behind out of the big blind and Parvizi called, as did Johns.

The flop came {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Johns checked, Glaser bet and Parvizi raised, forcing out Johns, while Glaser called all in with the words "That's probably not good for me."

Benny Glaser: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Iraj Parvizi: {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Glaser had been out-flopped and picked up some more outs on the {9-Clubs} turn. However, the {K-Hearts} on the river was a blank and Glaser's short stack ride came to an end.

In the last hand of Limit Hold'em, Jean Gaspard flopped a full house with {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} on the board of {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and David Benyamine was left short, having missed the open-ended straight flush draw with the {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Anthony Zinno raised in the hijack and Andrew Barber called in the cutoff, Benyamine called all in for 9,500 in the small blind and Jason Mercier called in the big blind.

The {A-Spades} on the turn saw Mercier bet once more, Zinno called and the action repeated on the {2-Clubs} river.

"I have a set of aces and live seven," Mercier announced and showed the {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Zinno showed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Benyamine took a portion of the low pot with {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}.

In the next hand, Benyamine raised and Michael Noori called in the big blind. The flop came {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Noori bet, Benyamine moved all in for 7,000 total and Noori called.

David Benyamine: {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Michael Noori: {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

The {Q-Spades} turn and {5-Hearts} river completed the board and Benyamine got the full double with the nut low and the eight-high straight.

Level 15 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Iraj Parvizi
Iraj Parvizi

Seven Card Stud

Benny Glaser: {X-}{X-} / {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / {X-}
Iraj Parvizi: {X-}{X-} / {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{A-Spades} / {X-}

Iraj Parvizi bet fourth and was called by Benny Glaser before pairing his four on fifth, Parvizi bet once more and Glaser called. On sixth, Parvizi bet and picked up a call before both checked seventh. Parvizi announced aces up and tabled the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, which was good enough to win the pot.

Soon after, Mark Gregorich ended up all in and at risk on fourth and was called by Parvizi.

Mark Gregorich: {J-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Iraj Parvizi: {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Both players paired up on fifth with Gregorich hitting the {J-Hearts} and Parvizi improving to a pair of aces with the {A-Spades}. Gregorich failed to get there with the {9-Diamonds} on sixth and the {6-Hearts} on seventh, while Parvizi received the {K-Hearts} and {7-Spades} to send Gregorich to the rail.
