Richard Tatalovich started with split tens, which must have looked pretty good with his short stack. Unfortunately for him, his opponent started with rolled up jacks. Tatalovich never improved better than two pair, tens and nines. He is out less then ten spots from the money.

Hennigan Eliminates Another

[user75032]

A frustrated Cory Zeidman has hit the rail, courtesy of John Hennigan. We picked up the action on sixth street:

Hennigan: x-x / {9-Diamonds}

Zeidman: x-x / {Q-Diamonds}

Hennigan, with the better board, led out for a bet on sixth street. Zeidman held his last 1,900 chips in his hand.

"That totally sucks," Zeidman said. "That's the hand I put you on. I could be drawing dead." He thought a bit longer, then made the call.

Hennigan opened {7-Diamonds}

in the hole, for a made diamond flush. Zeidman turned over {Q-Hearts}

for a pair of queens. He was indeed drawing dead. He pushed his cards in towards the dealer, got up and left the table before the river was dealt.

Hennigan is now over 20,000 in chips.

against Devonshire's {K-Diamonds}

Both players were looking to improve and third street brought Grizzle the {8-Diamonds}
