Buss Goes Way of Lakers, Gets Swept in Pot
Level 9
Stud-8:
We caught the action on seventh street as Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss was involved in a heads-up pot.
Buss: (X)(X) - 
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
After quickly check-calling bets by his opponent on every street, Jerry Buss called a final bet on seventh street after squeezing his last down card. His opponent showed down 
for the eight-high straight and a low hand of A4567.
Buss looked befuddled as he held onto his hand, repeatedly looking at his opponent's holding and then back at his own cards. Eventually, like his basketball team did against the Mavericks earlier this summer, Buss waved the white flag and surrendered the pot.
Elezra Gives Some Back
Level 9
Stud:
We caught the action as tournament chip leader Eli Elezra was involved in a hand against a lone opponent.
Elezra: (X)(X) - 
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
After Elezra completed the 600 chip bet, his opponent made the call. On fourth street Elezra fired a bet of 1,200 and his opponent made the call. The action repeated itself on fifth street, with Elezra betting 1,200 and his opponent coming along.
On sixth street both players slowed down and checked the action. When the dealer tossed each player their last down card on seventh street, Elezra again tapped the table and his opponent seized the moment by firing a bet of 1,200 into the pot. Despite the tremendous pot odds he was being laid, Elezra declined to bite and mucked his hand.
The tournament and high-stakes cash game veteran was not fazed by this turn of events, however, and quickly resumed his march towards the 100,000 chip mark.

The turn was the and Bari fired another bet. His opponent called and the river landed with the . With three kings on board, Bari didn't slow down. He fired and his opponent called.
Bari instantly turned over the 
for quad kings and began pulling his chips back and stacking them. The dealer pushed him the pot and Bari stacked up to just about 20,000 in chips.
Barber Cutting It Up
Level 9
Andrew Barber has worked his way up the leader board and now sits with about 46,500 in chips.
Holloway in Action
Level 9
Omaha-8:
The under-the-gun player limped in, Chad Holloway limped in from middle position, the small blind called and the big blind checked all before the dealer spread the

The turn came down the 
and both players checked before the landed on the river. The small blind bet and Holloway called.
The small blind revealed the 
for a king-high flush. Holloway held the 
for the winning low and the two chopped up the pot.
PokerNews' own Holloway now sits with 12,100 in chips. Our very own Nichole Pickering caught up with Holloway on the last break to find out how things are going today.
