Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri
Razz

Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri was all in on third street against Stewart Yancik in a hand of razz. Sugar Bear's board ran out {A-Spades} {5-Hearts} {10-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {9-Hearts}, but Yancik's ran out {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. Barbieri was officially the 49th place finisher and the tournament's bubble boy. Barbieri had this to say upon his exit.

"You can stick it up you a** and bubble it!"

Binger Busts

Michael Binger
Michael Binger
Stud

Michael Binger is not a happy boy right now after he has been eliminated in a cruel hand of Stud.

After re-raising on third street and getting his last chips in by fifth, Binger found that his buried kings had run into aces. The boards ran out:

Binger: ({K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}) {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{K-Spades} ({8-Spades})
Opponent: ({A-Spades}{A-Clubs}) {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{A-Hearts}-X ({6-Spades})

Binger slammed his cards into the muck in disgust and stormed out of the Brasilia room.

Jesus Can't Walk on Water

Omaha-8

The board was reading {Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{A-Spades} when Chris Ferguson decided to make the call against his opponent Scott Lake who was in the big blind.

"Sixes full" said Lake and tabled {6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. Ferguson took another peek at his cards, sighed and mucked.

After having a healthy stack during the day, Ferguson is now down to just 16,000 chips, while Lake scoops his way to 155,000.

Ferguson On the Move

Another table has just broken here and again Chris Ferguson finds himself on the move. As he arrived at his new home he commented to the table how he'd been sitting at six of the last eight tables to have broken here today. This makes it very difficult to build an image, adjust to table dynamics and get reads on your opponents, but it doesn't get any better for Ferguson as his new table is now once again the next table to break!
