Landrum Eliminates Player to Pick Up Chips

Sometimes even just one pair is good enough in seven-card stud. That's what Sabyl Landrum found out after one of her two opponents put his last chips in the pot on fifth street. The boards were:

Landrum: {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts}
Opponent 1: {8-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {K-Spades}
All-in Opponent: {A-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}

Landrum made only a pair of tens, but that was enough to scoop the pot and increase her stack to about 4,500.

Live Poker is Rigged!

Chad Brown was all in. His opponent made quad threes, and Brown, with three aces open on his board, was yet to squeeze his river card. With the appropriate amount of drama, Brown squeezed it... and then dramatically flipped over the case ace! He remains alive in today's tournament.

Pros Continue to Climb

Chip Jett is the latest pro to eclipse the 10,000 chip mark. He did so in a pot that went to the river three-handed. Showing {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Spades}, Jett bet. One opponent folded, but the other one called with a board of {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {3-Spades}. Jett opened an ace and a five in the hole, to make a full house, fives full of aces. His opponent never opened his own hole cards, choosing to muck instead.

No Repeat

There will be no repeat for last year's champion, Michael Keiner. He appears to have been sent to the rail. Circumstances unknown.
