Duke Almost Even

donpeters

Annie Duke was all in on the flop of {10-Clubs}

holding the {K-Hearts}

. Faraz Jaka held the {A-Diamonds}

. This was a great spot for Duke as she had flush outs along with the draw to the higher straight if a queen peeled off.

The turn was the {3-Hearts}

and Duke hit her flush, leaving Jaka drawing dead as the river completed the board with the {7-Diamonds}

. She's now up to 85,000 and Jaka has 90,000.

Hachem Gone

donpeters

Joe Hachem took his {5-Spades}

up against Jennifer Tilly's {A-Clubs}

. Hachem asked for the case five to hit the flop and the dealer did just that, putting the {5-Diamonds}

out there. Things were far from over though as Tilly added a straight and flush draw.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}

and Hachem stayed in the lead, but the river plopped the {K-Clubs}

on the felt and Tilly made her club flush. She now has two bounties.

Scott Seiver and Sorel Mizzi are now heads up over on one of the outer tables. Seiver has 120,000 chips of the 175,000 that were at the table when things started. Mizzi has the rest. Although we missed the action, we can tell you that Seiver has every bounty chip stacked in front of him. He's busted five players at his table and only needs to bust one more in Mizzi to move on. Each bounty is worth $5,000 and Seiver is now freerolling in the event. An added bonus of $100,000 goes to the player with the most bounties and Seiver is the early favorite to take that prize.

The players he recently sent to the rail are Brian Rast, Chau Giang and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.

On the other outer table, Vanessa Rousso just busted at the hands of Faraz Jaka. Jaka held {A-?}
