Power Play Works for Gelencser
Hold'em:
Peter Gelencser was short of chips but wasn't afraid to put his stack to work in a hand against Paul Evans. Evans raised preflop, then called Gelencser's three-bet. Evans went for a check-raise on a flop of
but couldn't shake Gelencser.
On the turn
, Evans led out with a bet. Gelencser thought things over, then raised, putting two-thirds of his remaining stack in the middle. That was enough to convince Evans to fold. -

Maier Gets Some Breathing Room
Stud Hi/Lo:
Soulier: x-x /
/ x
Maier: x-x /
/ x
Lana Maier started the day among the short stacks, but she's been steadily chipping up in the first half hour. We caught her in a Stud Hi/Lo hand against chip leader Fabrice Soulier. Both players checked fourth street. Soulier bet fifth and was called.
On sixth street, Soulier still had the lead and checked to Maier, who fired a bet. Soulier called, then check-called again on the river. Maier turned up
in the hole for an 8-7 low and a pair of fives.
"She won," said Soulier as he mucked.
"Nice hand," added Bryan Micon with a rap of the table. -

Iversen Crippled, then Eliminated in 21st Place ($5,906)
Stud Hi/Lo:
Van Alstyne: x-x /
/ x
Iversen: x-x / 
/ x
One pot to the river is very, very expensive at this point. Torstein Iversen just learned that lesson at the hand of James Van Alstyne. Alstyne bet fifth, sixth and seventh streets, showing down
in the hole for two pair, aces up, with no low after Iversen called each bet. Iversen could only sigh and muck.
A few hands later Iversen was gone in 21st place, busted by Tad Jurgens, who made aces and kings. -

Cautious Play
Stud:
Soulier: x-x / 
Evans: x-x /
Players on Tables 151 and 152 are treading very lightly to start the day. We have not seen a showdown on either table yet; in fact only one hand progressed past fifth street.
That was a hand between Fabrice Soulier and Paul Evans. Soulier completed third street and was called by Evans. Both players checked fourth street. Soulier bet his open pair on fifth but couldn't shake Evans, who then bet his own open pair on sixth street. That bet chased Soulier out of the pot.
"Good hand," said Soulier. "Nice catch." -
