Peter Brownstein Eliminated in 17th Place ($6,434)

[user67765]

Phil Ivey raised from under the gun and then fired on all streets with his opponent, Peter Brownstein, calling him down.

The board read {9-Diamonds}

and Ivey showed {A-Diamonds}

for the straight and seven-low to scoop the pot and leave Brownstein crippled with just 10,000 in chips.

Brownstein was all in on the blinds on the very next hand and failed to find a double up as he mucked his cards at showdown.

The players will now be redrawing for the last two tables.

Javid Javani Just About on the Felt

[user46298]

Debus: it's cold in the Brazilia room, you know

Two big hands have left Javani's stack in critical condition. First off, in Stud he ran into Tom Koral's full house, plumping up his opponent's stack to around 190k. Then as the game changed, he bet an Omaha hi-lo hand all the way until the river.

It was threeway on the {3-Spades}

flop, but Javani's 5k bet got rid of Jon Turner. On the {2-Clubs}

turn Javani bet again, called by button Frank Debus.

The river came the {Q-Hearts}

and once again Javani bet. This time, however, Debus paused for a moment, then raised him. With only 16k in his stack, Javani was at an all-or-nothing point, and he eventually decided on nothing, folding his hand and leaving himself on life support.
