Steve Sung Eliminated

Steve Sung - Eliminated
Steve Sung - Eliminated
Stud:

After crippling Steve Sung in a previous hand, Marcel Luske just finished him off. Sung was all in on third street in a multi-way hand with Luske, Daniel Negreanu, and Rob Hollink. Luske bet the whole way and Negreanu and Hollink eventually folded. Sung and Luske were the only players to see seventh street and they showed:

Sung: ({5-Diamonds}) ({9-Diamonds}) {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} ({9-Spades})
Luske: ({A-Diamonds}) ({Q-Hearts}) {10-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {K-Spades} {3-Spades} ({2-Spades})

Luske's Broadway straight was good enough for the win. Steve Sung was eliminated and Luske now works with about 300,000 chips.

Stud-8:

Tad Jurgens was recently eliminated when he got mixed up in a hand with Phil Galfond and Kenny Tran. Jurgens was all in on third street and Tran and Galfond checked through sixth street. Tran bet the river and Galfond called. The players showed:

Jurgens: (X) (X) {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} (X)
Tran: ({3-Spades}) ({6-Clubs}) ({5-Spades}) {A-Spades} {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {2-Hearts}
Galfond: ({A-Clubs}) ({Q-Diamonds}) ({A-Diamonds}) {Q-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {J-Spades} {K-Spades}

Galfond took the side pot with his aces and queens while Tran took the low with his {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} {2-?} {A-?}. Jurgens could beat neither and was eliminated.

"You Guys Are Too Good"

The Grinder Hates Razz

Razz:

Billy Argyros (X-X) {8-?} {A-?} {9-?}

Michael Mizrachi (X-X) {7-?} {6-?} {2-?}

Abe Mosseri brought it in with a {Q-?}, Billy "The Croc" Argyros called with an {8-?}, Michael Mizrachi completed with a {7-?}, Mosseri folded and Argyros called.

On fourth, Mizrachi led out and Argyros called. On fifth, Mizrachi led again having caught a {2-?} and Argyros went into the tank for quite a while.

"I know where I am, I've already got mine. I'm just not sure where you are" mused Crocky aloud before finally giving it up.

"You guys are just too good" said Mizrachi, flashing {3-?} {5-?} in the hole for a made 7-6.

"I hate f*ckin' razz!" sighed Mizrachi as he dragged the pot. Then, noticing one of our reporters was nearby, he amended his statement.

"Don't put the f-word in!"

Sorry, Grinder.

Robert Williamson III Doubles Up

Robert Williamson III (X-X) {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {10-Spades} (X)

Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond (X-X) {Q-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {J-Spades} (X)

Phil Galfond completed on third street, Robert Williamson III raised and Galfond called. Both players checked fourth street. On fifth, Galfond bet out, Williamson raised all in for 8,000 and Galfond called.

At the end of the hand, Williamson showed {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} {5-Clubs} in the hole for two pair and Galfond mucked. RW3 took it down.

On the very next hand, Williamson made a flush against Chris Reslock in another stud hand. That pot brought his stack up to 109,000.

Hold'em:

John Hanson limped in from the small blind, Michael DeMichele raised from the big blind and Hanson made the call. The flop was {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {4-Clubs}. Hanson checked, DeMichele bet and Hanson called. The turn was the {2-Spades} and both players checked. The river was the {5-Hearts}. Hanson bet and DeMichele thought for several minutes before making the call with only the {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. Hanson mucked and DeMichele raked in the pot with only ace-high, leaving Hanson on an extremely short stack.

A few hands later, Hanson went up against Roy Thung in another hold'em pot. On an eventual board of {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {7-Hearts}, Thung made a straight with {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} and Hanson hit the rail.
