Ly Sails against Perry

Minh Ly has taken down a nice pot off Ralph Perry. Perry led the betting until the river, showing {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Ly called and then fired on the river, which Perry called.

Ly showed ({7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}) {7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a full boat to jump to 83,000 chips, leaving Perry under pressure with about 19,000.

Ralph Perry In Trouble

Ralph Perry is now on life support after losing another pot, this time against Archie "The Greek" Karas.

Karas was the aggressor on 4th, 5th and 6th streets with Perry calling, until both players checked the river.

Perry showed {5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} but mucked his down cards as Karas flipped ({Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{A-Clubs}) {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for aces and queens.

Perry is down to only 4,000 in chips, while Karas is well-placed on about 55,000.

Scott Fischman Eliminated

Scott Fischman found the last of his chips in the middle against Fu Wong and Steve Zolotow. Fischman was showing {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, with Wong folding on the river to the bet of Zolotow.

Zolotow turned over ({5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}) {9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} ({8-Hearts}) for the flush, which was too good for Fischman sending him to the rail. After the hand, Zolotow was sitting with about 48,000 chips.
