Brown Turns the Screws

Hold'em

Action passed to Chad Brown on the button. He opened pre-flop and was called only by the big blind. The big blind checked the {8-Hearts} {q-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} flop, allowing Brown to continue with a bet that the big blind raised. Brown called.

The turn fell {3-Clubs}. The big blind bet, then folded to a raise from Brown. Dragging the pot increased Brown's count to 140,000.

Sabic Busto

Stud

Sebastien Sabic was already all in by the time we got to his table, and the cards were flying out rapid-fire. He was drawing dead by the time the river card came down, his {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} having absolutely no shot at beating Yuebin Guo's two pair, {2-Diamonds} {k-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {6-} {6-}. Sabic never even turned up his river card. Instead he stood up and quickly strode out the door of the Amazon Room.

Puchkov Continues Hot Form To Eliminate Wahlbeck

Stud-8

Topias Wahlbeck has been eliminated in a hand of Stud-8 against recently crowned WSOP bracelet winner Konstantin Puchkov.

Wahlbeck fired a bet on fifth street, before tossing in his last 100 chip on sixth street. Wahlbeck held two pair, nines and tens, as Puchkov was showing four low cards on board and revealed an open-ended straight draw before the river was dealt. Wahlbeck didn't improve but Puchkov made his straight to scoop and eliminate Wahlbeck from the tournament. Puchkov is up to 105,000.

Meanwhile Eric Brix has finally lost the battle with his short stack, eliminated on a nearby table by Scott Seiver.

Bubble Time

We've reached that stage of the night. With 25 minutes to go in the level, there are 51 players remaining in this event. 48 will get paid. The floor supervisor has just announced to the dealers that they must inform him immediately if a player busts out.

Play has predictably tightened.

Fellows Bows Out In Brutal Razz Hand

Razz

Zac Fellows was making a solid defense of his title in this event, but he's just been eliminated in rather brutal fashion, just before the money, during a recent hand of razz.

Fellows and Adam Hourani were all in at some point, but we're not certain which street, with Mitch Schock having both covered. The dealer was pitching cards all over the table as we frantically tried to jot down 21 cards.

Hourani: ({A-}{3-}) / {4-}{5-}{q-}{J-} / {2-}
Schock: {3-}{9-}{2-}{6-}{4-}{A-}-X (hole cards unknown)
Fellows: {2-}{6-} / {J-}{5-}{4-}-X / {A-}

Schock made a sixty-four and Hourani squeezed out a wheel on the river. Suddenly Fellows looked down at his board and realized he was drawing dead on the river, but he found an ace anyway to make a sixty-five.

Fellows is gone, Hourani more than doubles to 75,000 by winning the main pot, while Schock collects some chips in the side pot to move up to 115,000.

Suharto Busto

Darus Suharto doubled once during the stud round, from 5,000 to 10,000, by making nines and sixes agaisnt a player who completely bricked out. Just as we were coming back to the desk to describe the double-up, Suharto was in again. He must have bricked out, because he stood up and left the tournament area.
