Two Pair for Luske

Flying Dutchmen and Team PokerStars Pro Marcel Luske isn't flying at the moment, but he's still in, currently on a stack of 18,000. He just chopped one up with Mark Janeczek, Luske taking the high with two pairs eights and tens, Janeczek the low with A-2-4-7-8. Janeczek is also on 18,000.

Dwan Chops to Survive

Tom Dwan
Tom Dwan

Tom Dwan was down to just 300 when he was dealt an {8-Hearts} face-up, but with so much preflop action before him, he decided there we enough value to make the call.

Tom Dwan: {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}/{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Dale Phillips: {3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{X}/{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Paul Sherr: {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}/{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
James Richburg: {folded sixth}/{A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

On third street, preflop raiser Phillips continued his aggressive nature, leading out for a single bet. Both players called. He then bet all three subsequent streets, which again were called, Sherr finding himself all in on sixth.

In the end, Phillips took the high (I missed one card, but I sense he either had a house or flush), whilst Dwan snuck in for the low with A-2-5-6-7.

D'Agostino Happy to Chop

Bruce Burke: {5-Spades}{7-Clubs} / {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} / {q-Spades}
Edward Clemente: {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} / {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts} / (mucked)
John D'Agostino: {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}[ / {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} / {10-Spades}

Edward Clemente and John D'Agostino both found themselves all in by sixth street. Gina Hecht had been in the hand as well but reluctantly folded to the bet and raise ahead of her on sixth - she later told the table she'd folded aces. The rest of the cards were dealt and Clemente just mucked his last down card and after a while left the table, busted; Burke took the small side pot and he and D'Agostino chopped the main.

"Happy to chop with you sir," said D'Agostino, "We've been playing together a long time."

D'Agostino was at 19,000 after that, Burke at 6,000.

Bit by Bit

Peter Costa

"Tell the wife I'm up to 29,000?" requested Peter Costa.

"Was it all in one hand?" I inquired, knowing he'd only started the day with 16,000.

"No, you know me, bit by bit."

"Kind of like Tim Robbins' escape from Shawshank."

"Yeah, poker's a bit like that. Oh, and tell her that Ivey's on my table [18,000], and I'm going to bust him soon."

Bailout

Gregg Merkow: {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}/{3-Spades}{A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Hamid Salari: {mucked}/{A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}
Allen Bari: {4-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades}/{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The above players all reached seventh street of a pretty meaty chop, but in the end, only Salari was left penniless, Merkow and Bari chopping up the pot with the high and low respectively.

"Man, just a three or an eight to scoop the whole pot," wallowed Bari. "Who would have though that 10 would be the card?"

"Bailout," replied Merkow with a smile.

Merkow - 18,000
Salari - 31,500
Bari - 25,000

The Adventures Of Tom Dwan

We arrived at the table and saw Tom Dwan call bets from Brandon Cantu on every street from fourth street on.

Dwan: {X}{X}/{K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}/{X}
Cantu: {X}{X}/{A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{A-Spades}{8-Clubs}/{X}

Cantu tabled {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for Aces and 7-5-4-2-A low and Dwan took a look at his down cards. "Oh s*** I misread my hand," Dwan said. He could not best Cantu's holdings and dropped down to 3,500. Cantu moved up to 28,000.

However on the next hand, Dwan got it all in against Esther Taylor on fifth street.

Dwan: {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}/{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Taylor: {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}/{4-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Taylor failed to hit anything to beat Dwan's trips and slipped to 22,000. With the double up, Dwan is back to just over 7,000.
