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.

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.

A middle-position player made it 5,000 to go and Tony G moved all-in for his remaining 10,000. The player in the big blind moved all-in for 30,000 and the middle-position player called. The table was quite surprised as all three players turned over their hands to reveal pocket tens, pocket kings, and pocket aces.

Tony G had the pocket tens.

Board: Q-9-5-5-4

Dan Harrington Eliminated

A player in late position made it 5,000 to go, while the player in the cut off smooth called. It was then on Dan Harrington, on the button, who raised it up to 20,000. The player in the cut off moved all-in for an additional 13,000 to Harrington. The other player in the hand folded and it was heads-up going into the flop.

Harrington turned over A-Q while his opponent showed A-K. They both hit an ace on the flop, but Harrington failed to connect by the river and was eliminated.
