Erik Cajelais had to make the bring in with the . Jerry Buss and another player made the call. On fourth street, Buss made a bet, Seat 1 folded and Cajelais raised. Buss called and they were headed for fifth street.
On fifth Street, Buss check-called a bet from Cajelais. Buss went all in on sixth street when his bet was raised by Cajelais.
Buss had two pair - aces and threes. However, Cajelais had him outdone with aces and sixes.
Who knows, maybe this will give Buss some time to actually watch his Lakers play their next game.
Down ti just 575 in chips, Lex Veldhuis got the whole lot in with with a up and down. His opponent had a up and another down for a pair, and once Veldhuis had failed to hit anything, he exited the tournament.
Fellow Dutchie Marcel Luske, rather disappointingly wearing a hoodie and sneakers today instead of his trademark sharp suit, is also missing in action.
Steve Wong looks to be our sole remaining Netherlands representative.
Tom Dwan has upped his stack to 6,000 after betting every street with the utmost nonchalance until his opponent was all in. Said opponent just called every time - he seemed in no hurry to get the chips in - and busted very shortly after.
Dwan: / for a pair of kings
Opponent: (X) / for a pair of sevens
Andre Akkari: /
Player 2: (X) /
Player 3, all in before we arrived: (XXX) /
Betting continued between Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari and the other player (let us call him Player 2) while the all-in gentleman (who shall be known henceforth as Player 3) sat and waited. When all betting had been completed and the cards were turned over, it was discovered that Akkari had binked a second pair on seventh street to give him the pot and put him up to 13,000.
Player 3 sat there for a while, complaining to the dealer that she had shipped the pot to Akkari before she'd looked at his own, all-in hand. She gave Player 3 a funny look and reminded him that he had mucked his cards. He wandered off, disgruntled.
We caught up with Phil Ivey when he was all in on 5th street and drawing thin against an opponent who had just made a set of eights. Ivey's two pair failed to fill up and he was left without any chips.
Ylon Schwartz had jacks up and his opponent aces up when said opponent got his last in on fifth or sixth street. However, once all the cards had been dealt Schwartz could boast a full house - jacks full of fives - and his opponent was bust.
Schwartz meanwhile is flying high on 21,000, only a little behind chip leader Jean Gaspard who has improved to 26,000.
We arrived just in time to see Bill Munley turning his cards over and wishing the rest of the table good luck - whatever he had it couldn't beat the, er, three pair that his opponent was holding, and he headed for the rail.
