Father Time

Although we initially feared that this event might take us right through the night, my hopes of an early(ish) finish, and ensuing venture to the bar, have been rejuvenated somewhat by the rapid departures we have borne witness to over the last couple of levels.

However, I have been known to tempt fate and endure a subsequent slap across the face from Father Time...

Pappas Gets His Revenge on Lisandro

Stud-8:

Jeff Lisandro has busted out in 19th place. He called Greg Pappas' bet on every street and then raised all in on the river.

Pappas: {A-Spades} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {J-Spades} with {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs}
Lisandro: {3-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} {A-Clubs} with {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} x

When Lisandro saw that he was beaten, he angrily mucked his last card in frustration before making his exit.

Pappas was happily telling everyone that it was revenge for the $2,000 Seven-Card Stud bracelet that Lisandro won last year -- apparently Lisandro busted Pappas in that event with a pair of fours, and he's delighted to have gotten his own back.

Tony Ma Out

After the cripplement (I think I've invented a new word there) of the defeat to Mowczan, Tony Ma failed to receover, eventually falling at the hands of a Cantu/Racener one-two, Cantu making the low to the eight and Racener the high with a pair of knaves.

Omaha-8:

Out in 21st is Brock Parker. On a flop of {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}, he tangled with 'MrCasino' Craig Gray, Parker's all-in reraise being swiftly called by the online whiz.

Gray = {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Brock Parker = {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts} turn and {6-Clubs} river missing both players, Gray triumphing with two pair.

Hieu "Tony" Ma Crippled

No Ma chips for Tony
No Ma chips for Tony
Omaha-8:

Tony Ma raised preflop and both small blind Daniel Mowczan and big blind Brandon Cantu called.

The flop came {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {4-Clubs} and Mowczan bet out. Cantu folded, but Ma raised. Mowczan reraised; call.

Mowczan bet the {5-Clubs} turn and the {5-Hearts} river, and on both streets Ma flat-called.

On their backs.

Mowczan: {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Ma: {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

Scooping the lot with a five low and the nut flush, Mowczan leaps to 70,000, while Ma is absolutely crippled to just 6,000.

A Fraction of a Pot

Omaha-8:

It's bedlam here at the moment, with numerous double-ups, exits and big pots. Speaking of "big pots," Sam Silverman just three-quartered Claude Cohen, the former betting down the streets with {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts} on a {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} board. Cohen called him down with {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} to share the low.
