Durrrr Doubles

Tom Dwan: {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Spades} / {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Spades}
John Langlois: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}(X) / {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}(X)

Tom Dwan wasted no time in getting his last few chips in, and when the cards were revealed it transpired that he had runner-runnered a flush on sixth and seventh streets, which his opponent John Langlois couldn't beat. Dwan doubled to 8,500.

Just a few minutes later and we strolled by his table to discover that Dwan had further increased his stack to 15,000. This constitutes an impressive comeback, and Dwan is out of the danger zone for now.

Gaspard Has 1, But Mizzi Has 2

Jean Gaspard: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} / {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Sorel Mizzi: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Spades} / {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Jean Gaspard completed on third street only for Sorel Mizzi to raise. Gaspard made the call, and then bet out down fourth, fifth and sixth streets. On seventh street it was Mizzi who did the betting and Gaspard called, only to discover that Mizzi's two pair, queens and sevens, beat his own lone pair of aces.

Mizzi moved up to 23,000, while Gaspard dropped to 25,800.

Kravchenko Back in the Game

Alex Kravchenko: {j-Hearts}{3-Spades} - the {a-Clubs} on seventh / {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
James Maguire: (XX) / {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} - folded
David Shapiro: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}(X) / {2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Alex Kravchenko completed and then bet every street until he was all in on sixth street. James Maguire called as far as fifth street when folded; David Shapiro went the whole way, only to discover that his pair of nines was no good against the Russian Team PokerStars Pro's jacks.

Kravchenko more than doubled to 8,000. Shapiro was still looking pretty good after the hand, on 21,000.

Ace-High Enough For Eam

Vorakboth Eam completed with the {A-Diamonds} and then called the all in of Richard Talerico on fourth street. Here's how the boards ran out:

Eam: ({10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}) / {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} / ({Q-Hearts})
Talerico: ({3-Clubs}{5-Spades}) / {2-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} / (X)

Incredibly Eam tabled ace-high which was enough has Talerico just couldn't find a pair to save himself and was sent to the rail. Eam now sits with 14,000 chips.

No Showdown For Durrrr

Tom "durrrr" Dwan has taken down another pot as we caught the action with Dwan leading the betting on fifth, sixth and seventh streets. His opponent, Michael Rocco, was doing the calling but eventually found a fold on the river.

Dwan: (XXX) / {J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Rocco: (XXX) / {8-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Dwan now sits at 12,500.

Queens for Traniello

Marco Traniello: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}(X) / {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}
James Kadlec: (XXX) / {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

We caught up with the action on fifth street, with Marco Traniello betting and James Kadlec calling. Traniello bet sixth street too and once again Kadlec made the call, before both players checked on seventh.

Traniello revealed a pair of queens and moved up to 15,000 (he'd taken a few hits before this hand). Kadlec, who started the day on over 40,000, mucked. Nevertheless he remains one of our big stacks - a few early pots meant that even after this encounter with Traniello, he was still on a very healthy 41,000.

Hang Gets To Two Pair

Catching the action on fourth street, Tommy Hang led out with a bet before Ernest Buckley raised it up. Hang called before taking the lead on fifth and sixth street where his last chips were sent into the middle.

Hang: ({5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}) / {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} / ({5-Clubs})
Buckley: ({K-Spades}{K-Clubs}) / {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{A-Spades} / ({3-Hearts})

Buckley had buried kings but Stud is often a race to two pair and Hang got there on the river with nines and fives to double to 11,000. Buckley is still in good shape with 30,000.

Pezzin Not Messin'

Pat Pezzin: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades} / {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Jason Estock: {{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} / {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Pat Pezzin completed and Jason Estock raised. Pezzin just called, but the rest of Estock's chips went in on fourth or fifth street and all the cards were turned over as the dealer dealt sixth and seventh.

At the end of it all Estock could only boast the pair of eightsthat had been his first two down cards. Pezzin's two pair was more than enough to secure the pot, and he moved on up to 24,000 while Estock hit the rail.
