Grey Skies for Lawson

Shamus

Five players limped to see a flop of {3-Clubs}

. A player in middle position led out for 1,800, and both David Grey and Ted Lawson stuck around. The {J-Hearts}

came on the turn, and this time Grey bet 9,000, Lawson called from middle position, and the other player folded. Both then checked the {Q-Diamonds}

on the river.

Grey showed {A-Clubs}

for jacks full of queens. Lawson showed two of his cards -- {2-Clubs}

-- and mucked.

Grey moved up to 46,000 on the hand, and Lawson down to 10,000.

A couple of hands later, Lawson was eliminated. At the same table, Jason Mercier has also just been eliminated.

Moving Up, Down, Out

Shamus

Ted Forrest just rivered a flush versus Noah Boeken, moving up to 25,000. Boeken has slipped to 8,000.

Meanwhile, Terrence Chan and Phil Gordon have been eliminated.

, Layne Flack bet 3,000, Sherkan Farnood called, then Phil Ivey raised to 10,000. Flack reraised, and both Farnood and Ivey called. (Ivey had both Flack and Farnood covered.)

Flack had Q-Q-10-8 for the full house. He had a virtual lock on the hand, as Ivey showed J-J-x-x for the smaller boat, and Farnood A-K-10-9 for a doomed Broadway wrap.

No jack on the river, and Flack has leapfrogged up to 134,000. Meanwhile, Ivey is down to 47,000.

Farnood was eliminated a couple of hands later.
