Brandon Adams {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} / {3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{Q-Spades} / {10-Diamonds}
Vladimir Schmelev {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} / {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} / (X)

Adams was all-in on fifth street with a pair of sixes and a low draw against Schmelev's two pair, tens and sevens. Adams bricked his low and Schmelev took down the pot.

"Good luck, guys," said the Harvard professor without a hint of irony as he made a gracious exit.

Mike Sexton Eliminated

Mike Sexton was all-in for his last 4,300 on fourth street against Frank Kassella. Sexton had jacks up by the river, but Kassela made a wheel to scoop the pot and eliminate Sexton.

We're down to 20 players and will be playing until the end of Level 18 tonight. Right now it's anybody's guess if we make the money before Day 2 concludes.

Big Pot Sees Kessler and George Soar

Frank Kassela: (X)(X) / {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} / (X)
Allen Kessler: (X)(X) / {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} / (X)
Glenn Cozen: (X)(X) / {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} - fold
Christopher George: (X)(X) / {J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} / (X)

Kassela completed the bet on third and Kessler, Cozen and George called. On fourth street, Kessler was up first and checked. Next was Cozen and he checked. George checked after him and then Kassela bet. All three players that had checked made the call. On fifth street, Kessler and Cozen checked. George bet out when his board showed three diamonds and Kassela called in the next spot. Then Kessler called before Cozen folded and was left with just about 15,000 chips.

On sixth street, Kessler checked and George bet. Kassela called and then Kessler called as well. For the final street, seventh, Kessler checked, George bet and both Kassela and Kessler called.

George showed the {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for a full house, queens full of kings. Kessler showed a low 7-5-3-2-A and Kassela mucked. Kassela dropped to 150,000 while George moved to 350,000 and Kessler to 320,000.

Larry Scott Bernstein {A-Spades}{5-Spades} / {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} / {10-Diamonds}

Although Bernstein picked up a low draw on fourth street and a straight draw on fifth, he bricked out and Minieri scooped with his pair of aces, sending Bernstein to the rail just short of the money.

Minieri is up to 380,000

Harman Staying Alive... and Warm

Brrrrrrr!
Brrrrrrr!

Steve Zolotow (X)(X) / {6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} / (X)
Jennifer Harman (X)(X) / {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} / (X)

Jennifer Harman has been fighting on the short stack for a while now and took down a small pot against Steve Zolotow with a pair of sixes against a pair of deuces.

"I'm playing like a little girl because I am one," said Harman, who is attempting to stave off the late-night chill of the Amazon Room with a blanket procured for her by the floor staff.

Isaia's Boat Scoops Benson

With his board showing (X)(X) / {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / (X), Alessio Isaia scooped big pot from Gary Benson who's board read (X)(X) / {8-Spades}{K-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs} / (X). Isaia bet fifth and then called Benson's raise before check-calling on sixth. On seventh, he check-raised Benson and was called.

Isaia turned up the {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a full house, fives full of sixes. Benson couldn't beat that or make a low and mucked his hand, dropping to 150,000 chips. Isaia increased to 390,000 chips.
