Salvation for Ferguson
Chris Ferguson: 
/ 
Opponent: (XXX) / 
Alex Kravchenko: (XX) / 
We caught up with the action on fifth street, just in time to see one player checking and Alex Kravchenko checking behind. Chris Ferguson bet, Kravchenko folded and the other player called. Heads up to sixth street.
Ferguson's opponent checked and then called Ferguson's bet, before both players checked on seventh street. Ferguson revealed a pair of kings, and his opponent just mucked.
The man in black is up to 5,800.
Turner Takes a Hit, Still Looking Good
Turner: (X-X-X) / 
Seat 6: 
/ 
We caught up with the action on fifth street when Jon Turner was contemplating a raise from the player in Seat 6. He eventually made the call, check-calling a bet on sixth street. Both players checked seventh street and Turner mucked upon seeing his opponent's full house.
Turner is still sitting comfortable with about 24,000 in chips
Smith Flushing Chips Away
Gavin Smith: 
/ 
Smith's opponent: 
/ 
Third player who didn't make it past fifth street: (XX) / 
The player with the ace up was the aggressor on third and fourth streets, and both Gavin Smith and the third player just called. Mr. Ace Up bet out again on fifth street but this time Smith raised. The third player folded, Mr. Ace Up called, and they were heads up to sixth street.
Smith, now with an ace up of his own, was first to act and he bet out. His opponent called. Smith bet out again on seventh and again his opponent called, and revealed a diamond flush. Smith could only boast a straight, and was reduced to 8,500.
It's Good, We're Sure
Gaspard: 
/ 
Pardey: (X-X-X) /
Jean Gaspard brought in and called a raise from Rodney Pardey to get things going on third street. On fourth street Pardey led out with another bet and called a raise from Gaspard. Pardey bet again on fifth and sixth streets with Gaspard opting just to call.
Both players checked on seventh street with Gaspard saying "Two pair," and Pardey replying, "It's good...I think," before checking his cards one last time.
It was good.
Team PokerStars Pro Watch
It looks as though our impressive starting field of Team PokerStars Pros has been reduced to five, and none of them are doing terribly well in the grand scheme of chip counts.
We just witnessed Andre Akkari muck with up to another player's 
(X) / 
straight. He dropped to 6,200.
Over on another table Greg Raymer called bets on every street with 
up and then mucked when his perma-betting opponent turned over 
/ for two pair. Raymer dropped to 8,100.
Elsewhere, Pat Pezzin, Florian Langmann and Alex Kravchenko are at 8,000 apiece.
Thor Feels the Hammer of Mizzi
We caught the action on fourth street with jovial Norwegian Thor Hansen betting out. Sorel Mizzi called.
Thereafter with a pair of sevens up Mizzi led the betting down fifth, sixth and seventh streets. Hansen called every time but just mucked to Mizzi's full house at the end and dropped to 1,750. Mizzi moved on up to the environs of 15,000.
Mizzi: / 
Hansen: (XXX) /
Fossilman Rises
Raymer: 
/ 
Opponent: (X-X) 
Greg Raymer called his opponent's bets all the way through to seventh street. In the end his pair of queens were good enough to take down the pot, boosting him up to 9,000 in chips.
No Stopping Gaspard
Gaspard / 
Opponent: /
It looks like there's no stopping Jean Gaspard. He three-bet an opponent on third street and got a call. On fourth street he bet once more, again getting a call. All of his opponent's chips went into the middle on fifth street after four bets. Gaspard's two pair held up and his stack is now at 33,000.
