Sebok At His Peak

If you've been following the action today, you can't help but notice Joe Sebok and his up/down chip stack. He's been all-in several times just in the first few hours and has survived every time.

Well, Sebok found himself all-in once again, but this time he certainly had the best of it. Sebok's all-in was called by a single opponent and Sebok showed pocket aces to his opponent's A-K. After the hand, Sebok is up to 85,000.

Paul Wasicka Eliminated

Paul Wasicka
Paul Wasicka
Paul Wasicka moved all in for 10,000 holding {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. He was called by a player with {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. The flop was {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river was the {K-Clubs}. Wasicka made a stand but he could not get his eights to improve. The 2006 WSOP main event runner-up headed to the rail.

Mark Ellerbe Likes Straight Flushes

Holding {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} Mark Ellerbe must have thought he was hallucinating when the flop came down {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Lucky for him, Sven Anders-Johnsson flopped a lower flush with the {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Ellerbe dragged a huge pot.

Anders-Johnsson was down to 70,000 after the hand, while Ellerbe was up to 150,000.

"I'd buy that guy a beer if I were you," said one of his tablemates, pointing at Ellerbe as a cocktail waitress passed by.

That's NOT In the TDA Handbook

At Table 55 the player in the 9 seat wanted the player in the 5 seat to rearrange his chip stacks.

Why?

Because his opponent's chips were bringing him bad luck.

We're not kidding.

He went so far as to ask the floor to rule on it, and was advised that, no, a player can't be ordered to re-arrange his stacks because they're bringing another player bad luck.

David Einhorn Doubles Up to 63,000

David Einhorn raises to 3,500, his opponent reraises to 13,000, Einhorn moves all in for 30,500, and his opponent calls with {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. Einhorn shows {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, and it's a race situation.

The board comes {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and Einhorn wins the pot with two pair, kings and fives, doubling up to about 63,000 in chips.

What Are The Odds?

Steve Seidman was all-in with pocket tens against pocket sevens. With his tournament life at stake, Seidman was devastated when a seven fell on the flop. But, should it have been there? The dealer accidentally dealt a four-card flop, and Seidman called the floor for a ruling on what to do about the flop. When the floor staff arrived, everyone at the table pointed out that it was quite obvious that the seven was part of the three-card flop, regardless of the dealer's mistake.

However, it was ruled for the cards to be reshuffled and a new flop dealt, much to the dislike of the player holding pocket sevens.

Against many odds, a seven was again dealt on the flop. But there's a catch yet again, as this flop contained two clubs. Seidman went on to catch running clubs to compliment his {10-Clubs} and survive his all-in

Coincidence? Destiny? Or just pure odds? You do the math.
