Table 8 - Heads Up

Seat 2 - Ishak Noyan - 60,000
Seat 3 - Victor Ramdin - 210,000

Table 4 - Heads Up

Tam 'Tommy' Hang started this heads-up match as the short stack, but he has been battling back by winning more than his share of small pots with aggressive play.

David Baker - 140,000
Tommy Hang - 130,000

Table 6 - Heads Up Between Ram Vaswani & Bret Winograd

Ram Vaswani raises from the small blind (and the button) to 6,000, and Bret Winograd calls. The flop comes {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Winograd bets 3,000, and Vaswani calls. The turn card pairs the board with the {6-Hearts}, Winograd bets 6,000, Vaswani raises to 12,000, and Winograd calls. The river card is the {5-Hearts}, Winograd bets 6,000, Vaswani raises to 12,000, and Winograd calls.

Ram Vaswani shows {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for trip sixes, and Winograd mucks. Vaswani wins the pot.

Isabelle Mercier's Elimination Hands

With the board showing {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} on the turn, David Mosca bets 3,000, Isabelle Mercier raises to 6,000, Mosca reraises to 9,000, and Mercier calls. The river card is the {4-Spades}, Mosca bets 6,000, and Mercier calls. Mosca shows K-10 for two pair, tens and deuces with a king kicker, and Mercier mucks. After the hand, the chip counts look like this:

David Mosca - 266,000
Isabelle Mercier - 4,000

The next hand, Mercier would double up to 8,000 when her Q-4 outflopped Mosca's K-7 suited by catching a four. But two hands later, her {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} couldn't overcome Mosca's {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs} on a board of {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

Isabelle Mercier was eliminated in 24th place, earning $6,634.
