Pescatori completed on third street and got two callers including Daniel Alaei. The action was checked to Alaei on fourth street. He led out and only Pescatori called. The Italian Pirate check-called three more bets on fifth, sixth, and seventh streets.
Alaei turned over 
for two pair sixes and sevens. Pescatori had 
in the hole for a 8-6-4-3-A low and they split the pot. Alaei is hanging on with 16,000 in chips while Pescatori is up to 68,000.

Mizzi bet sixth street after Bronshtein and Schulmn checked. Both players then called. On seventh, Schulman bet after Bronshtein checked. Mizzi tossed in a raise and Bronshtein folded. Schulman made the call.
"I misclicked," announced Mizzi. "I only have aces up," as he turned up the 
.
"It's good," responded Schulman, mucking his hand. He's down to 34,500 now while Mizzi moved up to 46,000. Bronshtein is on 26,700.

Shak checked fourth and Heimiller bet. Lauria raised and both Shak and Heimiller called. On the next street, Lauria bet after Shak and Heilmiller checked to him. Both made the call. The same action occurred on sixth. On seventh, Lauria bet when it was checked to him and this time only Shak called.
Shak held the 
in the hole for kings and sixes. Lauria held the 
in the hole for aces full of threes. He's up to 48,000 while Shak dropped to 23,000.
Tom Dwan has returned to Event No. 15 while on break from his final table, at which he's three-handed. Dwan has 27,000 chips over here and will spend the next 20 minutes killing time here while he waits to run back over there to try and finish the job.
Dan Kelly (X)(X) /

Max Pescatori (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
We picked this hand up on sixth street, with Dan Kelly leading out and Max Pescatori making the call. Kelly bet again on the river and Pescatori looked him up.
Kelly turned over 
for nothing more than a pair of fours and a busted low draw. Pescatori released a torrent of curse words in Italian as he tabled 
(?) for a busted flush draw. Kelly scooped the pot and is up to 58,000.
Across the room, Tom "durrrr" Dwan is heads-up for his first WSOP bracelet and over here in the $10k Stud 8, more than a few folks are starting to seriously sweat. Should Dwan win tonight, there will be a seismic shift in the poker economy as Dwan stands to earn a rumored eight to ten million in side bets from a slew of high-stakes pros.
Level: 8

Pat Pezzin was just eliminated in a three-way hand against Gus Hansen and Bob Lauria. Also making a late-night exit was Daniel Alaei, who bricked his low draw against Allen Kessler's sevens full of sixes.
