Fernandez Finished

Stud/8

Jacobo Fernandez was just eliminated. With his last chips in the middle, Fernandez showed his hand {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

He couldn't beat Stefan Rapp's high: {2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} (sixes and sevens). And Alessio Isaia took the low with {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

Rapp has 82,000, and Isaia 12,500.

Tremblay Hanging On

Razz

Odette Tremblay was down to less than a full bet on fifth street, her board showing (X)(X){5-?}{7-?}{4-?}. Nick Frangos had a crummy-looking (X)(X){A-?}{Q-?}{K-?}, but said "all right" and called her last bet.

Tremblay next drew a {6-?}; Frangos another face card -- a {J-?}. "It doesn't matter now," said Frangos.

Tremblay is still alive with 14,000, while Frangos is hovering around the 100,000-chip mark.

Kostritsyn Flushes Fernandez

Stud/8

Kostritsyn: (X-X) {6-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} (X)
Turner: (X-X) {7-Spades} {6-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}-FOLD
Fernandez: (X-X) {10-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds} (X)

Picking up the action on fifth street, Jacobo Fernandez bet out. Alexander Kostritsyn called and then Jon "Pearljammer" Turner folded.

Fernandez bet sixth street and then seventh as well. On seventh though, Kostritsyn didn't just call, he raised. Fernandez made the call. Kostritsyn announced that he had a flush and showed the {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} from the hole. Fernandez patted the table and mucked his hand, dropping to 17,000 chips. Kostritsyn is up to 97,200.

The Secrets of Seventh Street Revealed

Razz

Michael Binger and Joe Cassidy had gone back and forth with the betting through sixth street, at which point Binger had (X)(X){4-?}{5-?}{5-?}{6-?} and Cassidy (X)(X){8-?}{A-?}{10-?}{A-?}.

The dealer dealt seventh street, but accidentally delivered Cassidy's last card face up -- {2-?}. The floor was called, and it was ruled that Binger's seventh street card would also be turned over, and betting could then commence. Binger's last card was {K-?}. Cassidy bet, Binger called, Cassidy turned over {6-?}{5-?} for 8-6-5-2-A, and Binger mucked.

Binger is still ahead of the pack with 124,000, while Cassidy has 45,000.

Harman Out

Jennifer Harman was just eliminated -- about 15 spots from the cash. Having gotten short-stacked, she was all in at the start of a stud hand against three other players, and ultimately her hand couldn't outrace all of her opponents.

Playing Perfect

Limit Hold'em

Nick Frangos fired a bet into Keith Lehr on a flop of {J-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. Lehr made the call and then the {Q-Clubs} hit the felt on the turn. Frangos bet again and Lehr folded.

Another player at the table commented on the hand, speculating what each player held. Lehr said, "I had a pair of sevens. If they turn didn't come a queen, I was going to raise him."

Frangos responded, "He played it perfect. He called when he had the best hand and folded when I had the best hand. He played it perfect."

Halle-LUU-jah

Omaha/8

On a flop of {J-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}, Eric Crain bet out and one player called before Thang Luu raised. Crain called and then the other player called all in.

The turn brought the {3-Spades} and Crain check-called a bet from Luu, building a side pot between the two players.

The river was the {J-Spades} and Crain checked-called a bet from Luu again.

"Send it!" exclaimed Luu as he slap-spread the {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} across the felt for the top full house. Crain and the other player both mucked, with the other player being eliminated on the hand.

"I'm going to start doing that." commented Crain. "Yelling 'send it' every time I win a big pot and slap my hand on the felt."

Luu - 145,000
Crain - 56,000
