Kesselman Scores Double-KO; Matusow, Dickstein Out

Mark Dickstein raised to 3,000 from the cutoff, the button folded, and Mike Matusow reraised all in for 19,400 from the small blind. Eric Kesselman then called from the big blind, and Dickstein pushed all in as well for a few more. Kesselman called for the extra chips.

Matusow drew two cards, Kesselman drew one, and Dickstein one. Matusow showed {A-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{3-} -- not a good draw for him. Kesselman showed {10-}{9-}{7-}{6-}{2-} -- better. And Dickstein tabled {J-}{8-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

Kesselman's hand was best, meaning both Dickstein and Matusow have been eliminated. Dickstein now has 84,000.

Adios Adams

Brandon Adams now on the rail
Brandon Adams now on the rail

Brandon Adams moved all in for his last 11,700 from the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu made the call from the big blind.

Negreanu stood pat with his {J-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{5-} as Adams drew one to his {6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

"Give him a five!" asked Negreanu in the direction of the dealer.

Unfortunately for Adams he could only find a {Q-} as he made his way to the rail, while Negreanu climbs to just on 80,000 in chips.

Mistakes Were Made

Huck Seed
Huck Seed

We picked up this hand after the draw. Steve Zolotow checked from the BB, then Tom Dwan bet 2,600 from UTG. Huck Seed was contemplating what to do when Zolotow -- thinking Seed had folded -- accidentally open folded his hand -- {10-}{7-}{7-}{5-}{5-}.

Seed didn't fold -- in fact, he shoved all in for 24,000. Dwan tanked for a while, then made the call, showing {9-}{8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}. Seed showed a {K-} and was out.

Zolotow apologized afterwards to Seed. "It's all right," answered Seed. "You made an honest mistake. Then I made an honest mistake. Then he [Dwan] made a good call."

Dwan is now up to 82,000.

Number One For Raymer

Mike Watts opened to 2,500 from under the gun and Greg Raymer made the call before Stephen Chidwick bumped it to 10,500.

Watts passed, but Raymer made the call drawing one as Chidwick stood pat.

After squeezing out his drawn card, Raymer moved all in for roughly 39,000 to prompt a fold from Chidwick.

Raymer tabled his {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for nuts and moved to 64,000 in chips.

Pair For Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Anton Allemann made the call from the big blind.

Both players drew one before checking after the draw.

Allemann tabled his pair of sixes as Negreanu rolled over his {8-}{6-}{4-}{5-}{5-} for a pair of fives.

"Nice hand" stated Allemann.

"Nobody had any heart" Negreanu added as he raked in the pot to move to 68,000 in chips.

Kings For Zolotow

Steve Zolotow from the Event #15 Final Table
Steve Zolotow from the Event #15 Final Table

With the action folding round to Steve Zolotow on the button, he entered the pot with a raise to 3,200.

Tom Dwan sat in the big blind staring directly at Zolotow for over a minute before grabbing chips from each of his stacks before deciding on a bet of 11,800.

"This is a good starting hand" commented Zolotow as he tabled his {8-}{3-}{2-}, before adding, "but this isn't" as he rolled his {K-}{K-} to go with it.

Zolotow mucked his hand while slipping to 48,000 as Dwan climbs to over 55,000 in chips.
