Albini Clubs Shebell

Scott Seiver completed with the {9-Diamonds} before Darren Shebell raised his {6-Diamonds}. Steven Albini made the call with his {A-Clubs} and Seiver came along.

On fourth Albini led with both opponents calling, before Shebell paired up and led on fifth. Albini called and Seiver folded. On sixth and seventh Shebell check-called.

Seiver: (XX) / {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Shebell: ({Q-}{J-Diamonds}) / {6-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs} / (X)
Albini: ({Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}) / {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} / {10-Spades}

Shebell made a reluctant call on the river with two pair but once again Albini had the goods as he takes it down to move up to 76,000. Shebell slips to 65,000.

Slowdown

Since we went to four tables, the action has somewhat slowed - presumably our remaining runners will now have their eyes on the very real possibility of a WSOP final table.

Nevertheless, the limits are large and some of the stacks are very small, and the combination of these two factors means that we'll be seeing a few more eliminations before long.

Kollmann Eliminated

Eric Kollmann
Eric Kollmann

Erich Kollmann is on the rail after he was all in on third street against Alex Kravchenko and Said Elsanafiri. The two live players checked on the side until sixth street when Elsanafiri fired a bet and Kravchenko raised. Elsanafiri made the call and then again on the river.

Kollmann: ({5-Clubs}{5-Spades}X) / {J-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Elsanafiri: ({A-Clubs}{3-Spades}X) / {3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}
Kravchenko: ({7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}) / {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Kravchenko made a nine-high straight to take it down and move up to 77,000.

Laird & Master of Ashby

Richard Ashby: (XX) / {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} - fold
James Laird - {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flashed / {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}

Richard Ashby bet third street and called the raise from James Laird. Thereafter Laird led the action, and he bet out on every street. Ashby called him all the way down to sixth, when he folded instead.

Laird flashed him {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} down for a full house.

Ashby - down to 83,000
Laird: up to 76,000

Shifting Down a Gear

Jim Geary: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} / {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} / {j-Clubs}
Pat Pezzin: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} / {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades} / {k-Hearts}

Jim Geary bet out on third street and Pat Pezzin called; he bet out again on fourth and this time Pezzin raised. Geary made the call.

Geary bet out again on fifth street and Pezzin raised again. Geary called all in, and his two pair by the end was no good against the set of sevens that Pezzin was sitting on.

Geary - busto
Pezzin - huge chip leader on 155,000

Albini Is All Rolled Up

Darren Shebell has just run into the rolled-up deuces of Steven Albini in a huge pot. Shebell led the betting on fourth, before fifth street was checked by both players. Albini took the lead on sixth and seventh with Shebell making the call.

Shebell: (XX) / {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / (X)
Albini: ({2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}) / {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} / {9-Diamonds}

Albini moves up to 35,000 with Shebell down to 83,000.

Pezzin Back in the Lead

George Trigeorgis: (XXX / {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Pat Pezzin: {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} / {5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
David Johnson: (XX) / {10-Spades}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

We didn't catch the action on third street, but we suspect that several bets made their way into the pot. When we caught up with the hand on fourth, David Johnson and George Trigeorgis (so good they name him thrice!) both checked to Team PokerStars Pro Pat Pezzin. They both called Pezzin's bet.

The action went check-check to Pezzin on fifth street as well, and once more Pezzin bet and the other two called to see a sixth card.

Trigeorgis now had a pair of kings showing and bet out, only for Pezzin to raise. Johnson folded but Trigeorgis called and they were dealt their last down cards.

Trigeorgis checked in the dark and then tanked up for a while when Pezzin bet. Eventually he called, but then swiftly mucked when the Canadian Team Pro turned over a full house.

Trigeorgis - 30,000
Johnson - 55,000
Pezzin - chip leader once again on 138,000
