Zamani Among the Recent Casualties

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After justing losing a pot to Shannon Shorr, on the very next hand Martin Zamani had the last of his 76,000 chips in the middle. He was up against Brandon Hamlet and was in a world of hurt.

Martin Zamani: QJAll in
Brandon Hamlet: AQ

Hamlet was in a dominating position and had both of the suits covered. Zamani could not connect with the runout in any sort of way, bowing out along with a large list of others.

Where's the Seven?!

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sean Winter raised to 14,000 on the button and was called by Jesse Lonis and Shannon Shorr in the blinds. The flop came 642 and Shorr led out with a bet of 15,000. Winter called and Lonis got out of the way.

The turn brought the A and Shorr checked this time. Winter checked it back and the 8 completed the board. Shorr checked one more time and Winter made a frustrated check.

Shorr flipped over 64 for two pair and Winter could only muster one pair with 85 after missing all of his draws.

"Where's the seven?" Winter asked. "Or the three? Or the diamond? Where's the seven?!"
