Cliff Josephy raised in middle position and was called by George Lind in the big blind. the flop came down 
and Lind check-called a bet from Josephy.
Both players checked the 
on the turn and the 
on the rvier. When it was time to show some cards, Lind said, "I got an ace." It turned out Josephy did as well, and his 
was just one step better than Lind's 
.
Omaha 8/b
We came to Robert Mizrachi's table in time for a three-way flop of 
. Mizrachi was up against Guillermo Abdel, in the blinds, and button player Thomas Hunt. Action checked to Hunt, whose bet was called by Abdel and Mizrachi in turn.
All players checked the 
turn. At the 
river, Abdel checked again. Mizrachi's bet folded Hunt, but Abdel called. Abdel got the low half with 
; Mizrachi got the high half after tabling 
, a pair of tens.
Mizrachi has roughly 55,000 chips.
Game 7 of the NBA Championship between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics is nearing its conclusion. Every big shot brings out a roar from the entire Amazon Room. It's fair to say that there are far more people watching the game right now then are paying attention to poker -- and that includes most of the players in Event 31. Maria Ho is decked out and in some Lakers gear and seems to be hardly paying attention to anything at her table while she sweats the end of the game.
It's anybody's guess how much money is represented by sports bets on this game -- in this room -- right now.
Omaha 8/b
While everyone sweats the end of the game, we've had a massive pot at Jon Turner's table. Turner limped in pre-flop before the cutoff raised. Dustin Leary, one of the current chip leaders, then re-raised from the small blind and was called by the big blind, Turner, and the cutoff player.
That wasn't the end of the action. On a flop of 
, Leary led out. He was raised by the big blind and re-raised by Turner. The last player called before Leary put in the third raise. Everyone called.
Leary bet the 
turn. Again everyone called. It was the same action on the 
river. At showdown, Leary showed the nut-nut, 
. The big blind mucked. Turner showed 
, the nut low and a set of eights. The cutoff player had only the nut low and pair of fives, 
.
Once the pots were split, Turner got a sixth, the cutoff player got a sixth, and Leary got two-thirds. He's busy stacking chips so it may be a few minutes before we have a fresh count.

Brandon Cantu: 5-7-4 / 3-5-3-2
Jeffrey Tunkel : 6-4-k / 6-10-8-A
We arrived on fifth street to see Brandon Cantu making a bet with Jeffrey Tunkel calling. When Tunkel hit an ace on sixth street he went all in and Cantu made the call. Tunkel was behind and failed to catch up. As Tunkel headed to the rail, Cantu skipped away to watch the closing minutes of the basketball game.
In the first 40 minutes of post-dinner play, two full tables have broken. The tournament has 86 remaining players, with 80 getting paid. Expect things to tighten up for a while until we get through the money bubble.
Stud 8/b
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Someone was playing the wrong game. Cliff Josephy got to the river with George Lind and was facing a bet. He shook his head.
"I'll be honest with you," he said. "I didn't realize we were playing Stud Eight." In fact, it was the second hand of Stud Hi/Lo for that round. Josephy eventually did call with a pair of kings, which got the high half against Lind's low.
"I hate to think what I folded last hand," said Josephy.
We heard the floor staff call for all dealers to complete the hand they were on and then wait. The next announcement we heard was that the tournament was in the money. It seems that we didn't deal a single hand of hand-for-hand play.
So that's 80 happy players. We're doing our best to clean up the counts so we can figure out exactly who's still here and who isn't.
