Ken Lennaard Eliminated in 4th Place ($75,058)

Ken Lennaard - 4th place
Ken Lennaard - 4th place

Stud 8/b

Ken Lennaard was all in for his last 14,000 chips after sixth street in a decisive pot against Dustin Leary. Here's how things looked when the cards were turned up:

Lennaard: {6-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} / {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} / X
Leary: {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} / {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {Q-Clubs} / X

Lennaard was ahead with his lowly pair of sixes, but Leary flipped over his seventh street card to reveal the {10-Clubs}, making him a bigger pair. Lennaard sunk in his chair, now realizing that he'd need to catch a card in order to stay afloat. He squeezed his last card every way possible, and he finally shook his head and peeled over a useless {A-Hearts}.

Unable to hold his pair of sixes, Ken Lennaard has been sent off in 4th place, taking home more than $75,000 for his efforts over the past three days.

Hani Awad Eliminated in 5th Place ($53,321)

Hani Awad - 5th place
Hani Awad - 5th place

Stud 8/b

Awad: {10-} {j-} / {a-Spades} {2-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} / (X)
Barbieri: {4-} {5-} / {7-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} / (X)

At these limits, short stacks can find themselves all in very, very quickly. Hani Awad completed on third street and was called by Al Barbieri. Barbieri bet after Awad checked fourth street, with Awad making the call. Awad moved all in on fifth street and Barbieri was right there to take him on Barbieri showed a pair of fours and a low draw; Awad had only ace-high. Sixth street gave Awad a pair of deuces, with no low draw; Barbieri made trip fours. At that point Awad was drawing dead. He didn't even look at his river card.

Awad leaves with $53,386. We're down to four players.

Andrew Revesz Eliminated in 6th Place ($38,651)

Andrew Revesz - 6th place
Andrew Revesz - 6th place

Stud 8/b

Revesz: (X) (X) / {3-Clubs} {k-Diamonds} {a-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} / (X)
Puchkov: (X) (X) / {k-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {7-Diamonds} / (X)
Awad: (X) (X) / {5-Diamonds} {j-Clubs} {2-Spades} {6-Clubs} / (X)

A very short-stacked Andrew Revesz caught the bring-in. His bring-in bet was completed by Konstantin Puchkov. Hani Awad called the completion before Revesz called all in.

Puchkov bet into the side pot on fourth street and was called. Fifth and sixth streets were checked by both Puchkov and Awad. Down the river, Puchkov was first to act and bet. Awad folded, allowing Puchkov to claim the side pot uncontested. Then action moved to the main pot.

"Pair of threes," said a disappointed Revesz. He had no low and couldn't beat the diamond flush that Puchkov turned over. That ended Revesz's run in this tournament. He's now out.

Blake Cahail Eliminated in 7th Place ($28,569)

Blake Cahail - 7th place
Blake Cahail - 7th place

Stud 8/b

Ken Lennaard had the bring-in with the {2-Clubs}, and Blake Cahail completed with the {A-Clubs} showing. Al Barbieri raised with the {7-Diamonds} up, Lennaard folded, and Cahail's call put him all in. Let's run out some cards:

Cahail: {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} / {A-Clubs} {10-Spades} {J-Hearts} {4-Spades} / X
Barbieri: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} / {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} / X

Cahail was trailing after sixth street, and he'd need some help. Barbieri flipped over his card first though; the {4-Diamonds}. That ended it right there, as Sugar Bear's flush could not be beated by any card. Cahail flipped over the {9-Hearts} that he'd been dealt as a mere formality, and he's been knocked off in 7th place.

Leary Unstoppable

Stud

Leary: (X) (X) / {7-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} {2-Diamonds} / (X)
Barbieri: (X) (X) / {8-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} {k-Diamonds} {3-Spades} / (X)

It seems like every pot Dustin Leary enters, he wins. He called after Al Barbieri completed on third street. Barbieri kept the lead on fourth and bet it. Again Leary called.

Leary made open sevens on fifth street and kept the lead for the rest of the hand. He bet fifth and sixth streets before checking seventh street. Barbieri checked behind and couldn't beat the trip sevens that Leary showed when he produced a {7-} as one of his hole cards.

"You Got a Slice?"

Al Barberi just caught sight of a spectator up on the upper balcony who had a whole box of pizza on the rail. "Hey, you got a slice?" Barbieri asked.

The spectator came rushing down to the tableside dividers, saying, "Here you go Mr. Al! Sorry, I don't have any more napkins, Mr. Al." Barbieri pulled a big slice from the box and thanked his new fan as he returned to his chair.

"It could be poisonous," Ken Lennaard said.

Barbieri just shrugged and continued eagerly shoving the oversized slice of pepperoni pie into his mouth. It has been devoured without a trace in the time it took to write this post.
