"Cocktails"
Annie Duke just asked the dealer to call for cocktails on Table 289.
"Has it been awhile?" asked the dealer.
"Before dinner," responded Duke.
Chip Jett then asked the question, "What do you think the ratio of masseuses to cocktail waitresses is?"
"Oh my god. 20-1," Duke responded, "I'd say at least 10-1." Whatever the case may be, Duke clearly wants a cocktail.

Pezzin Takes One From Fricke
Stud-8
Jimmy Fricke: (X-X) / 
Pat Pezzin: (X-X) / 
We picked up action on fourth street when Fricke bet and Pezzin made the call. Pezzin checked fifth street when he paired his fives and Fricke bet 1,200. Pezzin quickly raised to 2,400, putting Fricke to the test. After thinking about it for a moment, Fricke decided to fold.
With that win, Pezzin is up to 15,500 while Fricke is sitting with 32,400.
Recent Eliminations
A couple of recent eliminations include Lex Veldhuis who Tweeted about his demise to a slowroller in razz, David Bach who was spotted paying Jean-Robert Bellande for his last longer bet, and Howard Lederer who was kind enough to sign an autograph on the rail before heading for the nearest exit.

Joe Hachem:

We didn't catch the action until the river when three bets went in. Hennigan managed to get out of the way but Mizrachi was in to the end only to discover that his three aces and 8-7 low were second best to Hachem's flush and 6-5 low.
Hachem took down a nice pot and increased his stack to 43,000. Meanwhile, Hennigan is down to 12,000 and Mizrachi to 27,000.
Aces Up Anyone?
Stud-8
Michael Binger, Richard Ashby, David Oppenheim and a fourth opponent capped it four ways on third street before players started to drop away on fourth. Oppenheim bet, Binger folded and Ashby raised to force a fold from the fourth player as Oppenheim made the call.
On fifth, Oppenheim caught a brick and checked. Ashby bet but Oppenheim put in a check-raise. Ashby made the call, and then called down on sixth and seventh streets.
Binger: (X-X) / 
Ashby: (

Greg Raymer:

Negreanu faced off against fellow PokerStars Team Pro USA member, Greg Raymer. Negreanu completed and only Raymer made the call. Negreanu continued to lead out on every street and Raymer simply called every step of the way.
After being called on seventh street, Negreanu picked up his board and tossed them into the muck without even waiting to see Raymer's hole cards. In order to win the hand, Raymer showed that he had a 10-7-6-5-2 low.
"That would have been sick if I would have had the best hand," Negreanu, who was left with 48,000, quipped after the hand. Meanwhile, Raymer is up to 22,700.
Carlos Chops One
Stud-8
David Bach limped in and five others joined him on fourth street, as Bach paired his door card. He looked around the table and decided to check. Carlos Mortensen fired out a bet before the player to his left raised it up. The table folded back to Mortensen who made the call.
Mortensen check-raised on fifth before firing bets on sixth and seventh streets, with his opponent calling him down.
Bach: (X-X) / 
Mortensen: () / 
Opponent: (
) / 
Mortensen showed down a a seventy-six low to go with his pair of aces, but his opponent revealed aces and kings to take the high. They chop the pot with a small profit as Mortensen moves up to 52,000.
