Bouncing Around
As has been the trend in recent years, there are number of playing bouncing around the different tournaments and, fortunately for the players, the seven card stud event has been low on their list on their priorities. There were a few sighs, however, when Phil Ivey entered the room. He's now take his seat on one of the central tables and has around 7,000 in chips.
Men Nguyens Half
Men Nguyen: 
/ 
Nguyen's opponent: 
/ 
We caught up with the action on sixth street with a raising war between Men Nguyen (queens up) and his opponent (deuces up). Nguyen's opponent seemed to be having some trouble with the concept of limits, which seemed to both irritate and please Nguyen. Either way, they made it to seventh street and following another couple of bets they chopped it up, Nguyen's full house taking half the pot and his opponent's seven low taking the other.
Nguyen stayed hovering on 6,000 following the hand.
Team Pro on Team Pro Action
Pat Pezzin: 
/ 
Chad Brown: (XXX) where two of those X's were sufficient to make him a low / 
PokerStars Team Pro Pat Pezzin completed and to his immediate left fellow Team Pro Chad Brown called. Brown was the aggressor all the way down until he was all in on seventh street and Pezzin called all the way.
When the cards were flipped, Pezzin's full house was good enough for the high and Brown had made a respectable low, meaning that there was little change in the stacks - 2,000 for Brown and 7,000 for Pezzin.
No-Look Negreanu Eliminated
On a quick break from Event #26, the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six Max, Daniel Negreanu took his seat at Table #363 and was out five minutes later. We arrived at the table and the boards would eventually look like this.
Daniel Negreanu: {X}{X}/
Chris Grigorian: {X}{X}/
It became clear that Negreanu had been playing the hand blind as on 6th street, Grigorian and Negreanu exchanged dark bets and raises, culminating with Daniel's tournament life at stake. He was happy to see his down cards of 
for a pair of tens with a low draw. Grigorian turned over 
for a made 7-5 low, with outs to a straight.
Negreanu peeled seventh street and turned over the for a usually good 7-6-5-3-2 low, but not in this case. Grigorian flipped over the 
, making a straight and scooping the pot.
"That was fun," said Negreanu. "Back to the other tournament."
Chris "The Armenian Express" Grigorian is up to about 5,000.
Duke Chops
Annie Duke: / 
/
Second player: 
/ 
/ 
We caught up with the action on sixth street with one player betting all in and Annie Duke calling. They turned their cards over and awaited seventh street - and duly chopped the pot, Duke with a pair of sevens for the high and her opponent with a seven low.
Duke remained a relatively big stack, on 8,800.
Boeree Struggling
Liv Boeree is down to just 1,500 after calling a bet on fifth street, and folding to sixth.
Boeree: {X}{X}/
Opponent: {X}{X}/
Opponent: {X}{X}/
- folded fifth street
Also joining the table is MaxPescatori; he has 4,200.
Not Taking It O'Brien Down
Dan O'Brien: (XX) / 
Opponent: (XX /
Dan O'Brien completed; his opponent, who had made the bring in, called, eyeing up O'Brien suspiciously.
O'Brien's opponent checked on fourth street, still squinting at O'Brien as though he didn't trust him at all. O'Brien bet and after a little while his opponent folded.
O'Brien was still pretty short after that though, on 1,300.
Haxton Survives
Isaac Haxton was all in moments ago, but survived a three-way pot to chop the pot and increase his stack by a small amount.
Haxton: /
Opponent: {X}{X}/
- folded sixth street
Opponent: 
/
Haxton was all in by sixth street, but managed to grab the high with aces and kings whilst his opponent took the low with A-2-3-5-6. Haxton, however, still only has 1,000 in chips.
