Luneau in Trouble

Luneau: {x-}{x-} / {4-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} / {x-}
Kostritsyn: {x-}{x-} / {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} FOLDED
Mercier: {x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{K-Hearts} / {x-}

Alexandre Luneau completed and was called by Alexander Kostritsyn and Jason Mercier. Luneau bet forth and fifth, the Russian folding on fifth by Mercier continued and also called a bet on sixth. The Frenchman checked on seventh and called when Mercier bet, the American turned over {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades} for a rivered flush to win the pot. Luneau was left with barely a couple of thousand chips remaining and was eliminated the next hand, along with Ali Eslami, by Jason Mercier.

Monster Hands, Monster Pot

Nick Schulman
Nick Schulman

Schulman: {X-}{X-} / {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} {X-}
Gonzalez: {X-}{X-} / {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} / {X-}
Novick: {X-}{X-} / {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Hearts} / {X-}

We caught up with the action on fifth street where Hernan Novick checked, Fabrizio Gonzalez bet and Nick Schulman raised. Novick cold-called and Gonzalez re-raised all in. Schulman re-raised once more and Novick cold-called again. On sixth the action slowed down where Novick check-called Schulman’s bet. On seventh however, the action heated up again. Novick checked, Schulman raised, Novick re-raised, Schulman made it four bets and Novick called.

Schulman instantly turned over {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for rolled up sixes to start the hand that became quads by the end of it. Gonzalez revealed {J-}{J-} for a full house, jacks full of aces. Novick could only muster {8-}{3-}{2-} for a lower full house, threes over eights, and the worst hand in the pot as Gonzalez was eliminated and Schulman scooped.

Russian Out of Here

Alexander Dovzhenko is the latest player to be eliminated, he couldn't even make a pair and Bertrand "ElkY' Grospellier's jacks were enough to win the pot

Dwan Busts

Tom Dwan - Eliminated
Tom Dwan - Eliminated

Tom "durrrr" Dwan was all in on fifth street against Hernan Novick.

Dwan: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}/{Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Novick: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}/{4-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} (not necessarily in this order, but kings...trust us)

Dwan failed to improve his hand on sixth or seventh street, bringing his tournament to an end.

Laak Unlucky?

Phil Laak
Phil Laak

We missed the action but all we saw was Phil Laak make his exit as Men Nguyen raked in the chips from the previous pot. We can confirm that Laak has been eliminated.

Chau Time

Chau Giang
Chau Giang

Giang: {x-}{x-} / {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts} / {x-}
Kostritsyn: {x-}{x-} / {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} FOLDED
Luneau: {x-}{x-} / {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} / {x-}

Chau Giang had the bring in which had Jason Mercier in hysterics since he'd apparently had it in six of the last eight hands. Kostritsyn raised to two bets and Alexandre Luneau made it three bets, Giang called, as did Kostritsyn.

Giang paired his door card and began firing, Kostritsyn folded but Luneau called bets on every street on for Giang to show him {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} on the end. Aces full invariably being good enough for the pot.

Not Waiting For The World To Change

Seely: {X-}{X-} / {2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Hearts} /{X-}
Hennigan: {X-}{X-} / {9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}/ {X-}
Sexton: {X-}{X-} / {2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} / {X-}

James Seely brought in, John Hennigan completed, Mike Sexton raised and the other two players called. On fourth it was checked to Sexton who bet and again both players called. Fifth got checked around and Hennigan bet on sixth once he paired. Seely called the bet while Sexton folded and Hennigan bet again on seventh which got Seely to fold as well.

Gonzalez Boosting Down

Gonzalez: {X-}{X-} / {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {X-}
Smith: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs} / {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Spades}

We found Justin Smith call Fabrizio Gonzalez’s bet on fifth and both players checked sixth. Gonzalez check-called Smith’s bet on seventh only to be shown the trip kings of Smith which were good as Gonzalez mucked.
