Lisandro Plummeting

[user75032]

It's been tough going for Jeff Lisandro to start the day. Several of his open-raises have been reraised all in. He's folded a few times and in one case doubled up an opponent.

In Lisandro's latest adventure, his open-raise preflop was called in position by Nenad Medic. We're not sure what the flop action was, but on the turn {2-Hearts}

, Lisandro bet 6,500. Medic called to see the {Q-Clubs}

hit the river. Lisandro moved all in with that card, prompting Medic to snap-call. Lisandro's flopped set of kings, {K-Diamonds}

, had been brutally rivered by Medic's king-high straight, {J-Spades}

.

After the hand, Lisandro's stack was depleted to 46,000. Medic is all the way up to about 75,000.

Sweet Baby James

[user22113]

James Taylor opened the pot to a raise of 4,500. Erik Cajelais then re-popped the action to 13,500, folds back around to Taylor who then thought for a moment, and moved all in for around 70,000. Cajelais made the call quickly and showed {K-Hearts}

. Mr. Taylor tabled {A-Diamonds}

.

The board would run out {2-Hearts}

and Cajelais is left with a dismal stack of 2,100.

Taylor is now up to around 150,000 in chips.

It's Been a Long Month

[user75032]

The floor supervisor brought several racks to the Shane Schleger / Maria Ho / Nick Binger table in preparation to break it. This confused Schleger and Ho.

"I'm gonna ask," Ho said to Schleger. She called the floor over.

"When I asked you what the breaking order was, you said 'high to low'."

"It is," the floor replied.

"Then why are you breaking us?" She pointed out that they were at Table 70, and the last table broken was 73. The floor supervisor whistled at his mistake.

"Thank you Maria!" he added, then told the dealer to deal and sped off to Table 72.

Liebert Doubles Up

donpeters

Kathy Liebert was all in preflop holding a pair of threes, {3-Hearts}

. The player that called her all in was holding two overcards with {A-Spades}

. The flop came down {6-Clubs}

, keeping Leibert in the lead and adding a gutshot straight draw to her hand.

The turn brought the {4-Hearts}

, completing the straight and locking up at least a tie for Liebert. The river was the {8-Spades}

, enabling Liebert to earn the double up to about 50,000 chips.

Goodbye to Sandra

donpeters

Sandra Naujoks began the day with over 50,000 chips, but failed to make it out of the first level of the day. On her final hand, she checked the flop of {9-Diamonds}

to her opponent. He bet out 12,000 chips and Naujoks went into the tank. She then raised all in, only to be snapped off immediately by her opponent who held {A-Diamonds}

, for a pair and the nut flush draw. Naujoks did have some straight and pair outs with her {7-Diamonds}

.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds}

and unfortunately, that would be it for Naujoks. The river was the meaningless {9-Clubs}

to pair to the board and officially end things.

Relax!

[user75032]

As per usual, John Juanda is getting a massage. Directly across the table from him, Noah Schwartz flagged down a massage therapist as well and turned his chair around to prepare for his own massage, making it seem like the two men were facing off.

"Whoever busts first has to pay for the other's massage?" Schwartz joked with Juanda. It wasn't a good deal for Schwartz; his 16,000 chips are at a severe disadvantage to Juanda's 42,000.

Baron Looked Up by Ducks

[user75032]

Action folded to Isaac Baron the button. He opened with a raise to 4,200 that was called by the small blind (Sergey Rybachenko) and Johnny Lodden in the big blind. All three players checked a flop that came down {7-Spades}

. Action checked to Baron again on the turn {3-Diamonds}

. He fired out 8,400, a bet that was only called by Rybachenko.

The river was the {10-Hearts}

. Again Rybachenko checked. Baron looked like he might want to fire at the pot one last time, then reluctantly checked behind. Rybachenko showed {2-Diamonds}

, a lowly pair of deuces. That was enough for the win.
