Exiting is the New Black

[user46392]

Also OUT are Jennifer Harman (busted by Allen Cunningham) and Van Marcus (circumstances shrouded in mystery; ie unknown).

Kristy Gazes has also bitten the stud/Omaha dust, sticking it in with {A-?}

and getting called by a gent with {A-?}

. Gazes made a pair of fives, but her opponent made a pair of sevens and she took her leave.

According to our trusted field reporters, tensions have been running high recently with a number of arguments about various rules with the floor and their accompanying expertise being called upon on multiple occasions. There have also been a lot of errors, players throwing in the wrong chip and being made to call and dealers failing to deal players the right amount of cards, being just two examples.

Griffin Only a Myth

[user46392]

Gavin Griffin has just busted out, as evidenced only by him having no chips in front of him, getting up, and leaving.

Lisandro Three-Quarters Johnson

[user4144]

Jeff Lisandro has come out smelling of roses after three-quartering Marco Johnson in a chunky pot.

After a raise, reraise, and call preflop with Lisandro starting the action, both players saw a {3-Clubs}

flop.

Johnson bet out, Lisandro called.

Johnson then bet out again on the {K-Clubs}

, before facing a raise from Lisandro, which was subsequently called.

The {5-Diamonds}

river triggered a check from Johnson, a bet from Lisandro and a call from Johnson, Lisandro taking the majority of the pot with 4-2 for the semi-wheel.

Lisandro is now on 19,000.

Dropping Like Flies

[user46392]

Tony Cousineau is a goner, getting it all in on first street -- he made a quite astounding absolutely nothing at all with his {A-?}

while his opponent (only the bring-in called), made a straightalicious {J-?}

.

Also gone is Chip Jett, who fell victim to Chris Reslock.

Chainsaw Chopped Down to Starting Stack

[user4144]

Frustrating times for Allan "Chainsaw" Kessler who has dropped right back down to 5,000 after a frustrating few rounds. With {9-Diamonds}

showing, Kessler reluctantly called a 1,000 bet on end, showing {A-Diamonds}

for just top pair in the process.

I didn't quite catch his opponent's hole cards, but he had {4-Clubs}

showing and announced two pair, aces and fours, which was good enough to scoop.

Juanda is No More

[user46392]

John Juanda is OUT, first dropping 5,000 when his flopped set of sixes ran into an opponent's turned nut flush, and then getting it in a few hands later with {8-?}

in a stud hand -- his opponent made a full house to finish him off.

Throwing the Book at Greenstein

[user46392]

Barry Greenstein busted a while ago, but we have just now gotten the details of his exit hand. The reason we have this information is that Gary Benson, who busted him, is now in possession of a copy of Greenstein's book Ace on the River signed on the inside cover with the date, setting and the hands that did the damage; he lent it to us, and the hands were:

Barry Greenstein: {A-?}

Gary Benson: {A-?}
