Racener Gets 3/4 Of Kravchenko

Alexander Kravchenko limped UTG and John Racener checked his option in the big blind.

The flop of {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {2-Spades} saw Racener bet 5,000 and Kravechenko called. Both players checked the {J-Diamonds} turn before Racener bet 22,000 on the river {6-Spades}.

Kravchenko made the call with {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} but ran into Racener's {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {3-Spades} {4-Diamonds} which scooped the low and chopped the high with the Russian.

Big Pot, Three Nut Lows

On a flop of {J-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}, action checked around between Jeff Lisandro, Mark Bartlog, and Matt Lefkowitz. The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and it was checked to Lefkowitz. He bet 5,000 into the pot and Lisandro called. Bartlog then check-raised to 12,000 and both players called.

The river fell the {K-Hearts} and Lisandro checked. Bartlog fired 25,000 and both players called. Here's how the showdown looked.

Showdown
Lisandro: {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts}
Bartlog: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {7-Hearts} {4-Spades}
Lefkowtiz: {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds}

Each player held the nut low, but Lefkowitz picked up the high with a diamond flush.

Lisandro - 120,000
Bartlog - 126,000
Lefkowtiz - 154,000

Clements Pots River to Push Off Ruiz

Armando Ruiz just gave some chips to Scott Clements, the latter betting 4,000 and 8,000 on the flop and turn of a {3-Spades} {J-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} board. When the river {5-Spades} came, Ruiz checked a third time and Clements potted for 33,500. Ruiz giving it up.

Both of Scott Clements' bracelets have come in Omaha, so at this point he has to be one of the favorites.

Who is the Lunk on the Rail?

With two Russians on the same table now (Kravchenko and Rabtsov), a couple more of their compatriots have turned up to rail them including the winner of the $40,000 event, Vitaly Lunkin.

All of this is of great amusement to Roland de Wolfe, who keeps waving to him and pointing at him every 30 seconds saying, "Lunkin Park!"

Lellouche Busts Negreanu Then Ladowsky

Negreanu has busted
Negreanu has busted
Daniel Negreanu was all in preflop holding {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {5-Clubs} against Anthony Lellouche's {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {3-Hearts}. The board ran out {K-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {J-Hearts} to give Lellouche a broadway straight and the winning hand to send Negreanu home.

Just shortly after that, Lellouche sent Stephen Ladowsky to the rail with {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. Ladowsky held {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {J-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. The board ran out {A-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {3-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}.

With those two eliminations, Lellouche now has an astounding 357,000 chips!
