Mark Seif Loses Half His Stack

In early position Mark Seif raised to 1,800 and couldn't have been pleased that four players called. The flop came {8-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Seif led out for 5,000. The player two to his left moved in for 15,800 more. After the other players folded, Seif called and showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for top pair. It turned out to be an unlucky flop for Seif as his opponent had flopped a set with pocket Eights. Losing that pot brought Seif's stack down to 21,000.

Humberto Brenes Cracks Aces To Double Up

Before the flop Humberto Brenes moved all 18,500 of his chips into the middle and Jacob Hirsch called from the cutoff with Aces. Brenes had pocket Jacks, but this has been a charmed World Series for Humberto, and he flopped a Jack to crack Hirsch's bullets. Then, to add insult to injury, Brenes made quads on the turn. And then to add Humberto's own particular spice to the occasion . . . he brought out the Shark. Brenes now has 37,000.

Phil Laak Loses a Big Pot

A player in middle position raised to 2,500 and Phil Laak made it 7,500 to go from the small blind. The original raiser moved all-in and Laak called with A-Q, only to find his opponent held pocket Queens. The big pair held up and Laak slipped to just 3,750 in chips.

. . . And Then Phil Laak Triples Up

Just as it looked like Phil Laak was out the door, he triples up. A player in the cutoff raised to 2,200, Laak moved all-in on the button for 3,000 in total, and then the player in the small blind made an error and announced raise when he just wanted to call. The player in the cutoff called that raise and the three players checked down a board of {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Laak flipped over A-K and the pair he made on the river was good enough to win the pot, pushing his stack to 13,750.

Hopefully Phil will let us finish this post before he busts out and/or takes the chip lead.
