So Many Outs!

It was a four-way limped pot that ended Marcel Luske's tournament. He was in there along with Cliff Josephy, Michael Watson and Isaac Baron. Action checked to Luske on a flop of {9-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}. His pot bet was called only by Josephy.

When the turn fell {10-Hearts}, Luske moved all in for his last 10,000. Again Josephy called, taking us to showdown:

Josephy: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Hearts}
Luske: {K-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {4-Diamonds}

It was two pair for Josephy, fours and deuces, against a big draw for Luske. Luske had a flush draw, a straight draw and several bigger two-pair draws. He missed everything with the {6-Spades} river, shook a few hands, and left.

After a flop of {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} Dario Alioto bet 20,000 and Ralph Perry raised to 60,000. Alioto moved all in for a few thousand more and Perry made the call.

Perry: {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} for the nut straight, and redraws to a higher straight and king high flush.
Alioto: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} for the same nut straight as Perry.

The board fills out {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {7-Spades} giving Perry a straight to the jack and the pot.

Dario Alioto - eliminated
Ralph Perry - 265,000

Chris Ferguson is all in before the flop against Rifat Palevic and Jeff Lisandro.

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {7-Spades} with both Lisandro and Palevic checking.

The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} and Palevic called a 15,000 bet from Lisandro.

The river was the {K-Spades} . Lisandro checked, Palevic bet 36,500 and Lisandro folded.

Palevic: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} for queens full of kings.
Ferguson: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {4-Spades} for kings and jacks.

Palevic continues to knock out big name players and is now at 345,000.

A Boost for BoostedJ

Justin "BoostedJ" Smith recently doubled through Steve Sarrafzadeh. David "Devilfish" Ulliott was also in the pot for a flop of {10-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}. Action checked to Smith, who moved all in for 28,000. Sarrafzadeh called with {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. He was behind Smith's two pair, {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. The turn {Q-Hearts} helped neither player; the river {7-Clubs} gave Smith an unnecessary third pair.

Smith is up to 87,000, while Sarrafzadeh has fallen back to 117,000.

Mizzi Gets Maximum Value

The Table of Death, Table 62, just saw Isaac Baron's stack take a dive. He was one of four players in the hand for a flop of {A-Spades} {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}. Action checked to Sorel Mizzi, who led out for about 10,000. Baron called in position.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}. Mizzi fired a second bullet, this time for 21,000. Again Baron called. When the river fell {Q-Clubs}, Mizzi put 35,000 chips into the pot. This time it took Baron longer before sliding a call into the middle. Mizzi turned up {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} {J-Clubs} {6-Clubs} eights full of aces for the flopped full house. It was good.

Mizzi's count is now roughly 252,000. Baron is down to 230,000.
