Maureen Feduniak Takes Down a Nice Pot

[user22113]

Just before the break, Maureen Feduniak made a big score against "Captain" Tom Franklin. The game was 7 card Stud and Maureen was showing {J-Diamonds}

. Franklin had {K-Diamonds}

exposed. Feduniak bet every street and Franklin called. Franklin put in a raise on the river and Feduniak made the call. Franklin showed {7-Diamonds}

in the hole for a straight, but that couldn't beat Feduniak's {A-Diamonds}

for the ace-high flush. With that pot, Feduniak sits at about 104,000 in chips.

A Few More Players Took Up H.O.R.S.E. This Year

[user38420]

Last year there were 143 players in the H.O.R.S.E. Event. This year there are 148 players. Not a big increase, but at $50,000, it's nice to add to the prizepool.

Diamonds are Barry's Best Friend

[user39120]

Barry Greenstein just won about a 10,000-chip pot when his board showed four diamonds, and he had been betting every street. Hasan Habib's upcards were A-2-3-4, and he must have made his straight, as he paid Barry off on the river. Barry pulled the {3-Diamonds}

from his downcards, and Hasan mucked.

2. Dewey Tomko
3. Phil Ivey
4. David Singer

Also at this table is last year's W.S.O.P. Tournament of Champions winner, Mike Sexton, the "Ambassador of Poker." To make the lineup even tougher, the last person to sit down in the eight seat was none other than Todd Brunson, one of the best multi-game players on the planet! One tough table!!
