Brown Cripples, Then Eliminates Fernandez

[user75032]

Two tough hands for Ed Fernandez against Chad Brown have sent Fernandez to the rail. First, Fernandez led the betting on every street until the river, where he checked his board of x-x / {9-Hearts}

/ x to Brown, who had a board of x-x / {A-Clubs}

/ x. Brown bet the river, and Fernandez made a crying call with most of his stack already in the middle. Brown showed {A-Diamonds}

in the hole for two pair, aces and threes. Fernandez mucked.

The next hand, Fernandez got the rest of his stack in on third street with split deuces. Brown showed split fives, and by fifth street made a full house, fives full of tens. That was more than enough to eliminate Fernandez; the best he could come up with was two pair.

Fernandez walk away with $2,860 in prize money.

Play Slows Down

[user75032]

With stack consolidation and fewer tables in play, comes a slowdown in the action. 27 players remain, spread across four tables. The average stack is now 42,000, which is a just slightly comfortable 14 big bets. That means it will take a bit more effort for players to get themselves all in and to be eliminated.

Barbieri Up Again

[user75032]

Al Barbieri refuses to say die. He dragged Greg Pappas and George Brand all the way to the river, with a mixture of leading the betting or calling their bets. On the river, he put 3,000 of his last 3,500 in the pot. Pappas folded, but Brand made the call after standing up, putting his hands on the table, and thinking it through.

Barbieri's board showed x-x / {8-Diamonds}

/ x. Brand showed x-x/ {9-Hearts}

/ x. "Straight," announced Barbieri. He opened {7-Clubs}

and

in the hole.

"Good hand," said Brand as he mucked his hand. Barbieri now has 36,000 chips; Pappas has 29,000; and Brand has 17,000.

Roy Rose Takes One Off of Brown

[user75032]

Roy Rose misread his hand, but it turned out it didn't matter. He checked down a river in a hand against Chad Brown, then announced, "Jacks up." That would have been enough to take the pot, but then Rose realized that he made jacks full. He quickly corrected his call and showed his hand, but jacks up would have been enough.

He's up to 56,000 in chips.
