Jett Scoops Chainsaw

Jett: {4-}{6-}{5-} / {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Kessler: {4-}{7-}{8-} / {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Allen Kessler completed after another player had brought in and Chip Jett was the only player to call. Kessler would go on to bet fourth street, and once more Jett agreed to go along for the ride.

Both players checked fifth street, but Kessler check-called bets from Jett on sixth street and the river.

When the cards were tabled, Jett's pair was good for the high, and his low was lower than Kessler's.

Zuffi Gets There on the River

Omaha 8/b

Regis Burlot and Mark Zuffi were in the small blind and big blind, respectively, for a recent hand. Burlot raised after the action folded to him. Zuffi debated before calling to a flop of {4-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {9-Spades}. Burlot continued and got a call from Zuffi, who mentioned something about calling one time.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds}. Burlot bet again. Again Zuffi called. On the river {2-Diamonds}, Burlot checked and called one bet from Zuffi.

"Flush?" Zuffi asked. Burlot shook his head, prompting Zuffi to open {q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, a diamond flush, and a 7-5 low. That was a scooper.

"Lucky," said Zuffi. "On the river."

Jeff Shulman Bricks and Busts

Razz

The chips were all in on third street between Jeff Shulman and Ward Crane on what would be the last hand of the event for Shulman.

Shulman: 2-8 / 6-6-A-K / A
Crane: J-9 / 3-2-K-4 / 4

Shulman was looking good when the money went in, but sixth and seventh street were terrible for him. Crane ended up with the better hand and Shulman gets to go to bed a little earlier than the rest of them.

Recent Eliminations

Ryon Nicholson and Paul Evans have both been eliminated. Nicholson was eliminated in the Omaha Hi/Lo round, all in with {a-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {4-Diamonds} against Michael Craig's {k-Clubs} {k-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts}. The board came {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {j-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts} to give Craig a straight-seven.

Evans mae his stand in the limit hold'em round. He was all in pre-flop with {a-Diamonds} {q-Hearts} and called by Regis Burlot's {j-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. Neither player connected on the {6-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {3-Hearts} flop, but then Burlot made a running two pair with the {5-Spades} and {j-Hearts}.

Pezzin Down Then Out

Razz

Pat Pezzin was recently involved with a hand against Andrew Revesz in which he folded on seventh street, leaving himself with just 2,000 chips.

Pezzin: (XXX) / 6-7-K-4
Revesz: (XXX) / 4-6-7-Q

We caught up with the action on fifth street, where Pezzin called a bet from Revesz, which he would do again on sixth street. He wasn't able to make another call on seventh street, though.

In the very next hand Pezzin was all in after starting with A-6-K, but would go on to fill up with aces full of sixes and bust.

Fair Play Award

At Blake Cahail's table, we witnessed the most amicable resolution to a dispute we can ever remember seeing.

The game was Omaha Hi/Lo. Apparently, at showdown, Cahail and Allen Kessler both tabled their hands. The dealer mis-read the hands and thought Cahail won. He killed Kessler's hand, pushed the pot to Cahail and then killed Cahail's hand.

It was just as the second hand was being killed that Kessler protested that he actually had the winner. A floor was summoned to oversee a resolution. The table agreed that Kessler tabled the winner. Cahail wasn't sure, but since the majority of the table agreed Kessler won, Cahail re-constructed the pot and then pushed it to Kessler.

Shulman Trending Downward

Omaha 8/b

Jeff Schulman was riding in the front of the pack for a while and was the first player to break into 100,000 chip territory. Lately, though, he's finding himself slipping and is down to just 25,000 after this hand with Tom Hunt.

Tom Hunt had raised preflop from late position and got called by Shulman and Robert Mizrachi. The flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and action was checked to Hunt, who bet. Shulman then raised and Mizrachi folded before Hunt called.

On the turn we got to see the {j-Spades}. Shulman bet and then called Hunt's raise.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and Shulman check-called a bet from Hunt, but mucked when Hunt showed {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Hunt is now up to 95,000 in chips, while Shulman is down to 25,000.
