Demaskey and Levy Lead the Final Table

Kaelaine Minton

Level 20 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

The final nine players have settled in for some serious poker. No one wants to bust on the bubble.

The lone remaining female, Sandra Demaskey, has taken the chip lead with 255,000. Barry Levy is close behind after dragging a Seven Card Stud 8 pot with a bet on fifth street, forcing Sandra to fold and showing a made low and wheel draw.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sandra Demaskey	255,000 67,500	67,500
Barry Levy	235,000 19,000	19,000

Stevens Bubbles, Heimowitz Takes 8th in Double Elimination

Kaelaine Minton

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Playing Stud/8:

Matt Stevens:
Rolf Andersen:
Lonnie Heimowitz:

After the river card was delivered, Andersen again checked and Heimowitz bet his last 27,000, which Andersen called.

Stevens tabled and had missed both ways, ending up with just a pair of fives.

Heimowitz confidently tabled for the diamond flush, only to see the bad news when Andersen rolled over for the full house. He scooped it all, chipping up to 485,000 and a huge chip lead on the table.
