Solomon Dislikes Razz

Jarred Solomon has brought in four of the last five hands at his table's Razz orbit.

He stated, "If I have to bring in one more time, I'm going to give up," Luckily, on the sixth attempt, he was dealt the {5-Hearts} and was spared another 2,000 bring in.

Michael Guzzardi Taking Time Out With PokerNews
Michael Guzzardi has been very busy at his table during the hold'em orbit, winning four of the eight pots.

He has since turned his 12,000 stack into a 53,000 stack, and is looking at making his second final table of the Aussie Millions following his 8th place finish in Event #3: $1,100 Omaha Hi/Lo.

Marcus Rides Rockets to the Top

Hold'em:

Nothing like pocket rockets to brighten a player's day. Van Marcus bet the turn of a board that showed {J-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} and was check-called by Rodney Davidson. It was second verse, same as the first, when the river fell {6-Spades}. Marcus tabled {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}, prompting a muck from Davidson. After dragging the pot, Marcus was up to 63,000 while Davidson had slipped to 31,000.

Another Champ Exits

No Repeat For Cabrera
No Repeat For Cabrera
2008 PokerNews Cup H.O.R.S.E Champion Abel Cabrera has been eliminated from today's tournament.

In a hold'em orbit, Cabrera raised from under-the-gun to 6,000 and Leo Boxell called out of the big blind. The flop fell {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Cabrera moved the remainder of his short-stack all-in. Boxell called.

Cabrera: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Boxell: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}

The {7-Spades} fell on the turn to make trips for Boxell, but still left Cabrera outs to a flush. The river brought the {A-Diamonds} and we lost Cabrera as Boxell chipped up to 44,000. Things have changed for Boxell, as he was the tournament short-stack when play reached the final two tables.

Two All Ins but No Elimination?

Seven-Card Stud Hi/Lo:

It was a double all-in hand among Abel Cabrera, Anthony MacNamara and Kevin Kelsall. When the dust settled, nobody was out.

Cabrera: {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts} / {7-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} / {K-Clubs}
MacNamara: {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} / {9-Hearts} {5-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} / {A-Hearts}
Kelsall: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} / {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {j-Clubs} {q-Spades} / {q-Clubs}

Cabrera made a straight for high and the worst low, while Kelsall made a club flush. MacNamara, the biggest stack of the three, got squeezed with trip nines that never improved.

Cabrera is up to 12,400, MacNamara is down to 29,000, and Kelsall is now looking good with 48,000.

Quiet Times

It's been fairly quiet since play reached the final two tables of the tournament.

In a recent orbit of stud, Abel Cabrera brought in while showing the {3-Clubs}. It folded around to Joe Meissner, who completed while showing the {7-Diamonds}. Cabrera sat in the tank, looking down at his short stack and then at Meissner a few times before folding.

Meissner then announced, "You're a genius!" and tabled {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for rolled-up sevens.

Meissner is looking good with a little over 40,000 in chips.
