Shawn But Not Forgotten

Shawn Buchanan raised from the button and both Steven Werdehoff and Edward Nassif called in the blinds. Three-way, they saw a flop.

Flop: {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Werdehoff bet out and Nassif called. Buchanan flatt-called too, and they continued to the turn.

Turn: {q-Spades}

Werdehoff and Nassif now both checked to Buchanan, who bet. Werdehoff called, Nassif gave it up, and they were heads up to the river.

River: {2-Spades}

Werdehoff checked-called another bet from Buchanan, but couldn't beat the {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for two pair that Buchanan tabled. Werdehoff mucked, and Buchanan bumped his stack up to 30,000.

Black Day for Brown

We arrived just in time to see Team PokerStars Pro Chad Brown mucking to Frank Kassela's {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} full house on a {6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board. This left Brown with just 900 in chips, of which 300 went in as the small blind the next hand. He folded.

So it was that Brown, now reduced to 600, just called all in from the button with {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The small blind folded, the big blind flipped {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, and the board was dealt.

Board: {3-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Brown doubled to 1,500, but that went in before the flop of the next hand, and this time Brown would not be so fortunate.

Brown: {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Craig Repoz: {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Board: {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

With the exit of Brown, it looks as though Barry Greenstein is the one remaining hope for Team PokerStars in this event - he's on a roughly average 17,000 right now.

Williams' Top Pair Holds on Dangerous Board

Nicholas Derke was in the hijack when he raised, prompting a re-raise from Williams. The button and blinds folded around to Derke, who made the call.

The flop came down {7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} with Derke checking, only to raise Williams' bet. When the {5-Hearts} fell on the turn, Derke led out with a bet, and called a raise from Williams. The river was {6-Hearts} and Derke opted to check, later calling one last bet from Williams.

Williams showed {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Derke mucked.

Mize Out-Sheyned

Three players made it to the {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Spades} flop and the first player, Philip Chong, chacked. To his immediate left David Mize went all in for his last 500. Ilya Sheyn called, Chong folded, and they were on their backs.

Mize: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Sheyn: miles ahead with {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Turn: a too-little-too-late {j-Diamonds}

River: not the one out Mize needed, but the {10-Spades}

Schwartz Gets Much Needed Boost

Ylon Schwartz picked up a few much-needed chips in this hand against Eric Rivkin.

Schwartz was acting under the gun and threw in a raise, with Rivkin making a re-raise just two seats over. Schwartz called, and the two headed to the flop.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Schwartz checked. When Rivkin bet, Schwartz raised and Rivkin called. Rivkin called Schwartz's bets on the {3-Diamonds} turn and the {j-Spades} river. When it came time to show some cards, Schwartz tabled {k-}{k-}, which was better than Rivkin's hand of {q-}{q-}.

After the hand Schwartz was up to 15,000, while Rivkin slipped to 29,000

Myung Doesn't Need to Find Straight to Bust Dubois

John Myung and Evan Dubois were in the small and big blind respectively when action was folded to them. Myung raised it up, and Dubois re-raised, with Myung calling.

The flop came {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Myung check-raised Dubouis. Dubois called Myung's bet on the turn, which was the {j-Hearts}, and commited his last 200 chips with a call on the {4-Clubs} river.

Myung tabled {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, having missed his straight draw, but making top pair, which was good enough to eliminate Dubois.

Who's Late?

The 3pm start proved a little early for certain of our players - you know you are, er, David Williams and Matt Woodward.

Nevetheless it looks as though most players have now made it to their tables, and the action is as fast and furious as a limit tournament can be.
