Phan, Saab Out; Minieri Still Doing Well

Donnie Peters

Tim Phan was just eliminated by Dustin Sitar. Sitar made quad sixes to bust Phan from the tournament. Sitar has 130,000 chips thanks to that hand.

On the adjacent table, Michele Limongi and Dario Minieri checked to Neal Friets on seventh street. Friets bet and Limongi called. Minieri then put in a check raise and both players called. Minieri tabled a flush and Friets held a low. Limongi mucked by slamming his cads into the middle of the felt. Minieri is up to 140,000.

On another table, Dutch Boyd just busted Doug Saab as well with an ace-high flush and an eight-six low. He has about 137,000 chips.

Rivera Rivers Brunson

I always have this expression

Anthony Rivera just managed to scoop a huge pot off Todd Brunson when he rivered a third five to make trips. Brunson's aces up were crushed, and with neither player making a low, Rivera took down the whole thing, sending his stack up to 72,000. Brunson was left on fumes with only 6,100 and didn't look too pleased about it.

Mike Sexton: (X)(X){8-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {Q-Spades} (X)
David Benyamine: (X)(X){5-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {K-Spades} {2-Clubs} (X)
David Sklansky: (X)(X){5-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {A-Hearts} (X)

Mike Sexton was all in on fourth street while Benyamine and Sklansky continued the betting. Benyamine bet out on fifth and Sklansky called. Both players checked sixth street. Sklansky checked seventh, Benyamine bet and Sklansky called.

Benyamine showed {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} for kings up, good for the high, while Sklansky showed {8-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} good for a 8-7-5-4-A low. They split the pot, while Sexton mucked and headed for the exit.

Joe Tehan from an earlier event
Joe Tehan from an earlier event
Chip leader, Tuan Le, just dropped a huge pot worth about 50,000 chips to Joe Tehan. Tehan made a spade flush that was ace-queen high, and a seven-six low. Tuan checked his hole cards after Tehan showed his hand for a moment more. He said, "Ace-queen high, eh?" and then mucked his hand.

Le - 205,000
Tehan - 130,000

Scotty Nguyen raised to put Jimmy Fricke all in on third street. Fricke tossed in his chips saying, "I've got live cards I think." Although he held a pair of tens, Nguyen tabled queens in the hole. Here's how the board ran out:

Fricke: ({10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}) {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {9-Spades} {7-Clubs}
Nguyen: ({Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}) {A-Clubs} {2-Spades} {7-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {5-Spades}

Fricke was eliminated by Nguyen's pair of queens on the hand and Scotty moved up to 85,000 chips.
