Shannon Elizabeth, Alive and Well

The tables for today's $2,000 No-Limit Hold-Em event were scattered throughout the Amazon Room--and beyond. Some players are also in the Poker Pavilion tent, and some were tucked into the back corner near the satellite area. And that's how we made a mistake and thought Shannon Elizabeth was out. We obviously mistook some random and recently-busted poker player for Shannon.

That's a joke, by the way.

Seriously though, she's still in the tournament and she has chips, 15,400 of them at last count. And we'll keep a close eye on her from now on. As onerous a task as that may be.

A Pressing Engagement

After a {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{Q-Spades} flop An La bet 3,000 and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi called. Mizrachi also called a 6,000 bet after the {2-Hearts} turned and when La bet 5,000 after the {9-Diamonds} on the river Mizrachi checked his watch several times while thinking about calling off the rest of his chips.

When La asked why he kept checking his watch, Mizrachi said, 'Because the $5K H.O.R.S.E. starts at 5."

Mizrachi made the call, La showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}, and "The Grinder" is now free to play in the H.O.R.S.E. event that just started.

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi Gets Runner-Runner for a Straight

Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi gets runner-runner and takes the pot just before the break. The player under-the-gun raised 500, Mizrachi called, the player in the cut-off reraised 1,800, the UTG player folded and Mizrachi called. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Mizrachi bet 1,750, his opponent raised 6,200 and Mizrachi called all-in with his last 2,500. Mizrachi had the {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and his opponent had {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Mizrachi hit a straight when the {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs} came, and after the hand he was up to 12,500.

The DevilFish Doubles Up

Actually he more than doubled up when a player in middle position made it 550 to go and the small blind raised to 2,400. DevilFish moved in from the big blind for his last 1,075 and the original raiser decided to lay down his hand. Ulliott held two live cards in {9-Clubs}{7-Spades} against his opponent's {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}, and he took the lead when the flop came {7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

His opponent didn't catch the rest of the way--in part because the player who folded said he gave up on pocket Jacks, removing two of his outs. That pot lifted DevilFish's stack to around 3,100.

Now That's A Good Flop

It's your classic confrontation, as Mike Sexton would say -- Ace-King versus pocket Queens. In this instance Greg Dockus had Big Slick, he and his opponent got all the money in before the flop, and these are the cards the dealer spread:

{A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

Nothing like taking the drama out of a hand. And then there was a little salt in the wound for the player whose ladies were treated so rudely -- the turn card was the {Q-Diamonds}. Sometimes the game is a bit more cruel than it needs to be.

What Goes Up . . . Must Come Down

Mark Seif has lost a couple pots and about a third of his stack in the process. The really scary thing about this fact is he still has all but a few players in the field covered two to one.

In his latest adventure, a player in middle position made it 700 to go, and Seif called. The flop was {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Mark bet, and the player went all in for about 4,000, and Seif called with {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. The player had {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}, which held, and Mark Seif is down to 28,000.
