Raymer and Wahlbeck Out; Chen Last Star Standing
Razz
PokerStars Pro Greg Raymer has been sent crashing out of the tournament during a recent round of razz. Raymer had a big stack for long periods of this event but was unable to get things moving post-dinner.
Raymer was all in on fifth street against John Hennigan with the board spread:
Raymer: (
) / 
/ (
)
Hennigan: (
) / 
/ ()
Raymer's board got very ugly as Hennigan made a nine to take it down and eliminate Raymer.
He was soon followed by Finnish star Ville Wahlbeck, to once again leave Bill Chen as the last PokerStars representative standing.
Seidel Squashed
Razz
Erik Seidel: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Marco Traniello: (X-X) / / (X)
Seidel moved all in on fifth, and Traniello called him despite pairing his board. Seidel showed and made a nine-eight on sixth. Traniello held 
and made a nine-seven. Neither player improved on seventh, and Traniello busted Seidel, moving up to 163,000.
Feature Table Shake Up
At the start of the day, the feature table was already pretty stacked. But with a few eliminations, it's even more frightening now. Brandon Adams and Todd Brunson are still there, and now they've been joined by Al Barbieri, Matt Glantz, and James Mackey.
Ashby Surging
Omaha-8
Richard Ashby has just scooped a big pot in Omaha-8 to surge up the chip count leaderboard as we start to inch closer to the money stage of this tournament.
It was a five ways the to flop of 
, with four players putting in two bets each to see the 
turn. Al Barberi fired a bet with all three opponents calling to see the 
on the river. Again Barbieri fired a bet but Ashby was the lone caller.
Barbieri showed 
as Ashby collected with 
for the flush. Barbieri is at 172,000 with Ashby up to 265,000 and well on his way to a second bracelet this year!
Persson Dented by Wheel
Stud-8
Marco Traniello: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Magnus Persson: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Traniello bet every street, and Persson called him all the way down, only to be shown 
for a wheel. The nut low was also good enough for the high, as Persson mucked and Traniello scooped the whole pot. Marco's post-dinner rush has him up to 240,000. Persson is down to 65,000.
Razz Blues For Richey
Razz
Bill Chen completed the betting before Brett Richey put in a raise. Chen made the call and then led out with a bet on fourth street. Richey made the call and again on fifth when he bricked, but he couldn't sustain the pressure and folded on sixth.
Chen: (X-X) / { / (X)
Richey: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Richey is left with just 11,000 in change as Chen is up to 90,000 and looking for another H.O.R.S.E. cash.
Lester Stacked
Stud-8
Jason Lester was all in and covered by both Richard Ashby and Phil Galfond in a big Stud-8 hand. But Ashby showed down a wheel to take the low half of the pot, and Galfond's ten-high flush was good enough for the high half. That left Lester with none of the pot and no more chips.
Ashby and Galfond split Lester's stack to move Ashby up to 317,000 and Galfond to 125,000.
Slow Down
We've lost players at a good clip all day and seen plenty of large pots. But the aggression is starting to drop off as we near the money. The field still needs to be cut in half, so we've got a long way to go, especially if everyone continues at this pace. Maybe it's just an after-dinner lull that they'll shake off on the next break.
FBT Takes One Off Mizrachi
Hold'em
With a button raise, Robert Mizrachi and Greg Mueller defended with calls from the blinds to see a flop of 
. Mizrachi led out with a bet, but Mueller quickly raised to force the third player from the hand. Mizrachi made the call.
The turn was the 
and Mizrachi checked to Mueller who fired again with Mizrachi making the call.
The river was a repeat and again the action was check, bet call. Mueller opened 
for top two pair and Mizrachi mucked.
Mizrachi sits at 221,000 with Mueller up to 99,000.
