Whoops

I've met Tom Schneider. Nice fellow. Earlier you might recall I passed along a hand in which I described Schneider taking down a small pot in a limit round. Turns out the hand was won by Mark Hause, not Schneider. A case of bad information -- indeed, Schneider is not playing today.

Will get more info on Hause's chip stack momentarily. I'm sure he's a nice fellow, too.

Lehmann Not Laying it Down

Back in the limit round, on a turn of {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, the small blind bets and Markus Lehmann calls. The river is {4-Clubs}. The small blind bets and Lehmann calls. He shows {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} to the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} of his opponent and takes a nice pot.

Soon after, Lehmann raises in early position and the middle-position player reraises. Lehmann calls. The flop is {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Lehmann checks. The middle-position bets and Lehmann calls. The turn is {J-Clubs}. Lehmann checks and the middle-position bets again. Lehmann calls. The river is {K-Spades} and both check. Lehmann shows {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and the opponent mucks. Lehmann is up to 24,500.

Jeffrey Lisandro Out

Lisandro raised from UTG+1. David Chiu, sitting on Lisandro's left, raised, and the player in the cutoff three-bet. Lisandro raised again, putting his last chips in the pot. Chiu, also running out of chips, called, as did the cutoff.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Chiu checked, the cutoff raised, Chiu check-raised, and the cutoff called. The turn was the {2-Hearts}. Chiu bet, the cutoff raised, and Chiu called with his last chips.

Chiu had {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for top pair. The cutoff had pocket jacks. And Lisandro had {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The river blanked, and Chiu's queens were good.

Lisandro is out, and Chiu is now up to 8,600.

Habib Clocks Cunningham

Hasan Habib raises and Allen Cunningham calls. The flop is {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Habib bets and Cunningham calls. The turn is {J-Clubs}. Habib bets and Cunningham calls.

The river is the {2-Clubs}. Habib bets, Cunningham raises, and Habib reraises! Cunningham gives him kind of a funny look and says, "You raise?" Cunningham thinks about it for awhile and calls. Habib shows {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Cunningham mucks. Cunningham is down to his last 2,500 and Habib has 39,150.
