Alligator Man Identified

You may remember the gent from yesterday who turned up sporting a waistcoat made out of what looked like an entire alligator, with matching boots.

He is pleasingly wearing his reptilian fashion statements again today, and has now been identified as Raymond "RW" Miller. He's at around 11,000 right now. We'll endeavor to set the photographer on him.

Getting Luskey

My, how fast things change.

Marcel Luske is down to 21,000. We're not sure what did most of the damage, but we know it was much worse than that as he just know scooped a nice pot from Timothy D'Alessandro.

Luske: {2-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {4-Spades} ({5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Spades})
D'Alessandro: {5-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {9-Spades} {3-Spades} ({A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {8-Clubs})

Jelinek Wobbling

A mixed start to the day for PLO8 final tabler Steve Jelinek. "I did half my stack on the first hand," he told us, "But I've managed to get some of it back."

The details of how he lost those chips initially are hazy, but he some back after chopping a three-way pot with Justin Bonomo.

Bonomo bet out on every street down to 6th and a lady opponent and Jelinek both called all the way down, Jelinek raising on 6th street and then betting on 7th. All three made it to showdown, at which point Bonomo took the low, Jelinek took the high with a flush and their opponent just mucked.

Bonomo: {3-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Spades} {2-Hearts} ({6-Spades} {7-Hearts} {2-Clubs})
Jelinek: {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} ({7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds})
Ms Opponent: {8-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} (mucked)

Shawn of All Pretence

Shawn Kimmel has had a pretty good start -- he bet on every street and Max Pescatori called him all the way (Barry Greenstein called him too until 5th street before giving up). Come 7th street, Kimmel turned over aces up and Pescatori mucked, giving Kimmel a much-needed chip booster.

Kimmel: {6-Hearts} {3-Spades} {J-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} ({A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {J-Spades})
Pescatori: {2-Spades} {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} (mucked)
Greenstein: {4-Hearts} {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} (folded)
