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.

Sjavik It Large

Jan Sjavik: (XX) / {5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Paul Sokoloff: (XX) / {4-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

We caught up with the action on sixth street, the pot sizable. Jan Sjavik bet and Paul Sokoloff thought about it for a long time. Eventually he laid it down, leaving himself on just 4,000. Sjavik meanwhile increased to 26,000.

MacPheeling Good

Kevin MacPhee: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades} / {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Anton Brenner: (mucked) / {4-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Marcandrea Trevisanato: (mucked) / {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Anton Brenner was all in on third street, but betting continued between Marcandrea Trevisanato and Kevin MacPhee - MacPhee bet every street and Trevisanato check-called him all the way.

Come showdown MacPhee tabled his wheel, and both his opponents mucked.

MacPhee, who by the by is among the speediest stackers we have seen in this or any event, was at roughly 40,000 after that.

Grinder Freeroll Falls Short

We arrived at Michael Mizrachi's table and found him all on fifth street against Joseph Santagata. In no particular order, Mizrachi's cards were {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Mizrachi made an 8-7-6-5-A low and a ten-high straight.

Santagata began the hand with rolled up kings and his board read {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}/{K-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. He sweated the last card, turning over the {K-Diamonds} for quads, chopping the pot with Mizrachi.

Santagata: 28,000
Mizrachi: 6,000
