Giang's Full House Not Enough

Stud

Giang: X-X / {a-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} / X
Fitoussi: X-X / {5-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {4-Spades} {5-Clubs} / X
Su: X-X / {j-Diamonds} {a-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {7-Hearts} / X

Chau Giang must have felt confident he was going to win the main pot at showdown against Bruno Fitoussi. Giang completed third street and was raised by Fitoussi, then re-raised by Stephen Su. Giang called both raises, as did Fitoussi, who was all in.

Action was on the side between Su and Giang, with Su check-calling every street all the way to showdown. He mucked in the face of Giang's {a-Spades} {a-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, a full house of aces full of fours. For the main pot, however, the all-in Fitoussi opened two fives in the hole, having made quads.

Giang is at 53,000.

Seiver Pressures Turner

Stud-8

Jon Turner had slipped back down to just 8,500 in chips after being forced to concede a big Stud-8 pot to Scott Seiver.

Turner: (X-X) / {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Seiver: (X-X) / {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Seiver applied the pressure and Turner was forced to fold on sixth street, as Seiver raked in the pot to move up to 41,000.

Mizzi Busto

Stud-8

A wild four-way all in at Table 369 has resulted in the eliminations of Sorel MIzzi and Larry Stjean. Mizzi was already in when we came to the table on fourth street. Lonnie Heimowitz, with open aces, bet and was called by Zachary Milchman and by Stjean, who was then all in.

Heimowitz bet fifth street and himself was all in on sixth street. That led to a crazy four-way reveal heading into seventh street:

Milchman: {6-Clubs} {a-Spades} / {3-Spades} {4-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, a 6-5-4-3 low and a flush draw
Heimowitz: {2-Spades} {4-Hearts} / {a-Clubs} {a-Hearts} {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds}, a 6-5-4-2 low and a pair of aces
Mizzi: {8-Spades} {7-Diamonds} / {a-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {j-Spades} {2-Hearts}, an 8-7 low and ace-high
Stjean: {7-} {7-} / {9-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {q-Hearts} {4-Spades}, no low and a pair of sevens

The rivers cards came out: {10-Clubs}, {4-Diamonds}, {10-Hearts}, {k-Clubs}. Heimowitz took the low half of all pots with his 6-5-4-2-A but didn't get anything from the high despite having aces up. The high half of all pots went to Milchman, who made a club flush. Mizzi and Stjean were both eliminated.

The Great Sports Debate

It's a banner day for sports watching with the World Cup roups tage matches continuing and the final round of the U.S. Open taking place. Table 358 got into a debate about which sports make for the best television.

"I'd rather watch mini-golf than soccer," said Cory Zeidman.

Matt Savage agreed. "I was listening to golf on the radio on the way over here and it was more exciting than the World Cup."

Michael Greco took the conversation in a different direction. "I'd rather watch beach volleyball than American football."

The conversation drifted to the ears of Daniel Negreanu and Steve Zolotow at a neighboring table. Zolotow, chock full of opinions today, said, "Any sport where the score is 1-1 after three hours is," and then made a thumbs-down motion.

Bloch Out

Andy Bloch
Andy Bloch

Andy Bloch's day never really got going and he recently saw his last chips go into the middle and never return.

After losing a big pot in Stud-8 with aces up against a low draw that made a runner-runner flush, Bloch was down to his last 2,400 as the table entered the round of hold'em.

With a raise under the gun, Bloch was next to speak and he committed his last 2,400 chips. His opponent called.

Bloch: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board bricked {6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Bloch was sent to the rail.

Kristy Gazes Eliminated

Omaha-8

Kristy Gazes didn't have a ton of chips to start the day. Now she has none after a hand of Omaha Hi/Lo gone bad. Gazes led out on a flop of {k-Diamonds} {q-Spades} {4-Diamonds} and was raised by Loi Tran. Gazes three-bet, then called all in after Tran four-bet. Gazes tbled unimproved aces, {a-Diamonds} {a-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Spades}. Tran flopped a set of kings, {k-Clubs} {k-Spades} {q-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. The turn and river bricked out. Gazes is gone.

JJ Razzes AA

Razz

Catching the action on fifth street, John Juanda fired a bet and Andre Akkari raised it up. Juanda called and then again on sixth, before Akkari fired a bet on the river. Juanda announced a raise and Akkari called.

Juanda: ({A-}{5-}{7-}) / {2-}{9-}{3-}{J-}
Akkari: ({3-}{4-}{10-}) / {A-}{7-}{6-}{8-}

Akkari showed a seventy-six but Juanda had rivered a seventy-five to take it down. Akkari shook his head as he slipped to 9,500 with Juanda now up to 37,000.
