Checking in on the Champ, Day 2

Eric Brooks is still plugging away in today's field. He recently had to surrender a pot on the river. He had led out on sixth street with (X-X) / {K-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {6-Spades}, a bet that his opponent raised with (X-X) / {2-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. Brooks called on sixth but check-folded to a bet on the river.

"Ace-clubs five-clubs," Brooks' opponent said, flashing those cards in the hole for a five-high straight. "It was that or rolled up." Brooks just nodded. He's on a roughly average stack, with about 60,000 in chips.

Negreanu Gives Corkins Respect

Negreanu still scrapping.
Negreanu still scrapping.
A few tables away from Eric Brooks, Daniel Negreanu found himself in a similar situation. He led out sixth street with the best board, (X-X) / {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {7-Spades}, only to see his lone opponent -- Hoyt Corkins -- raise (X-X) / {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}.

Negreanu studied Corkins' board. "Eight-nine?" he asked. Corkins just chomped on his trademark cigar. Whatever it was he did, it was enough for Negreanu to convince himself to fold.

Recent Eliminations

John Juanda - out
John Juanda - out
Two recent eliminations at the hand of "Miami" John Cernuto: Team Full Tilters John Juanda and Erick Lindgren. Juanda was very short-stacked and unable to avoid Cernuto's Broadway straight. Lindgren made a stand with split kings, {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} / {K-Spades} at the same time that Cernuto was dealt buried aces, {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} / {9-Clubs}. Each player made trips on sixth street, but neither filled up. As a result Cernuto's three aces were the best hand and Lindgren is out.

Cernuto has about 100,000.

Chiu Gets the Best of Judah

David Chiu got things started on third street with buried kings, {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} / {9-Hearts}. His customer was Mel Judah, who had a nine of his own. Judah took over the betting all the way until sixth street, when he slowed down and checked. At that point, Chiu's board had developed {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} and he bet. Judah called with {7-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}, then check-called again on the river. Chiu rolled over a river card of {J-Spades} to go along with his buried kings for two pair, kings and jacks. He's up to 52,000.

Buried Kings Bring it In

Hasan Habib
Hasan Habib
Hasan Habib was the bring-in with the {2-Spades}. Three seats over, Randall Skaggs completed, and Michael Sigel put in a raise down the line. When it came back to Habib, he bumped it up to 6,000. Skaggs ducked out, but Sigel came along.

Habib: (X-X) / {2-Spades} {5-Hearts} {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} / (X)
Sigel: (X-X) / {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} / (X)

On fourth, fifth, and sixth streets, Sigel was check-calling bets from Habib. Seventh street went check-check. Habib opened up {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts}, good for kings up. Sigel nodded, exposing the {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} that he had buried to start the hand. "I picked up a straight draw too. Just couldn't get away, you know?"
