Two Pair No Good

Jesse Lamont can say that he got his chips in good. He was all in after fourth street, holding {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} / {2-Hearts} {2-Spades}. He was called by Ben Tang and George Markakis. Tang made an eight-six low on fifth street and bet the rest of the way. Tang called and caught running aces on sixth and seven to go along with the ace he had in the hole and make trip aces. Lamont never improved on his two pair and did not make a qualifying low. He is out in 47th place and receives $2,673.

More Eliminations

Jack Rosenfeldt is out. He got all in against Men "the Master" Nguyen on fifth street. Rosenfeldt held {4-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} / {7-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {2-Diamonds}. Nguyen showed {2-Hearts} {5-Spades} / {7-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} for a pair of fives. Neither player improved; Nguyen only made a pair of fives, no low, and Rosenfeldt couldn't come up with a low or anyther better than queen-high. He is out in 45th place and earns $2,673.

Larry Armstrong is also out in 44th place. He also earns $2,673.

Make Seven Up Yours

Travis Erdman brings it in with the {2-Spades} and Hellmuth raises with the {J-Hearts}. Erdman reraises and Hellmuth calls.

On fourth, Erdman gets the {A-Clubs} and Hellmuth the {10-Diamonds}. Erdman bets and Hellmuth calls.

On fifth, Erdman gets {Q-Diamonds} and Hellmuth {A-Hearts}. Erdman bets and Hellmuth calls.

On sixth, Erdman gets {7-Hearts} and Hellmuth {5-Clubs}. Erdman bets and Hellmuth calls.

On seventh, Erdman bets again. "I hope you have sevens up!" says Hellmuth as he calls. Instead, Erdman rolls over {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Spades} for three aces and takes the pot. "How did I play that, Phil?" he says. Hellmuth responds with silence.

Double Elimination: Craig Popowcer, Ben Tang ($2,673)

Earlier in the day, we noticed that Craig Popowcer's seat was empty. We erroneously believed that he had busted. Not so, we were told at dinner break! He was alive and healthy. That is no longer the case.

In a three-way hand with George Markakis, Popowcer and Ben Tang both got all their chips in the middle. Popowcer was drawing at an eight low, but missed it. Tang made a king-high flush, which was one rank worse than Markakis' ace-high flush. Markakis scooped the pot and eliminated both opponents. They each will collect $2,673 from the cage.
