Bleznick Wisdom

[user140525]

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Jared "Harrington25" Bleznick is sitting one table away from Will "the Thrill" Failla, and they're having a good time chatting about "the old days," which we imagine are different eras for the two of them. Bleznick, a high-stakes cash player used to battling at nosebleed stakes reminisced, "$1/2 No Limit, best days of my life. The more money you get, the more miserable you are. It's true."

Failla murmured agreement, but we're not sure he meant it.

Rast Eliminated by Svara

Chad Holloway

We're not sure when the money went in, but Brian Rast was recently eliminated. We found him with {K-} {Q-} {Q-} {8-} laid out in front of him on a board reading {K-Spades} {10-Spades} {3-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts} . However, Blaz Svara held {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} for a straight.

Rast will not be winning his second bracelet of 2011, while Svara has positioned himself as our chip leader.

Pollak Doubles Through Selbst

[user135779]

The action folded to Vanessa Selbst who raised to 6,000 from the button pre-flop, but Gary Pollak re-raised all-in from the small blind, forcing Layne Flack out of the way from the big blind. Selbst called and the cards were tabled:

Pollak: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}
Selbst: {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Clubs}

Pollak's hand held up all the way down the board of {K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and he doubled up to 35,000 in chips.

Moorman Bets the Flop

Chad Holloway

Jason Mercier raised to 4,800 from the hijack and was quickly called by Jeff Lisandro in the cutoff and Chris Moorman in the big blind. When the flop came down {7-Clubs} {4-Spades} {3-Clubs} , Moorman led out for 10,700 and both Mercier and Lisandro insta-folded.

Pollak Slashes Flack Back

[user135779]

Gary Pollak has scored another double-up to move to almost 90,000, courtesy of Layne Flack.

All the money was in the middle on a flop that read {J-Clubs} {6-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and we just got there in time to see the hands being tabled:

Pollak: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}
Flack: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}

Nothing changed after the turn and river ran out {2-Spades} , {8-Hearts} and Flack's now starting to look rather glum, now that he's down to 45,000 in chips.

Gary Pollak	88,000 53,000	53,000
Layne Flack	45,000 -58,000	-58,000

Selbst Back To Scooping

tayke2

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Shortly after Vanessa Selbst inexplicably lost a pot, she got right back to her winning ways, taking a big pot off Markus Ristola. We came to the table with the board dealt out {7-Hearts} {10-Spades} {6-Spades} {k-Hearts} {j-Clubs} . Ristola thought for about a minute before he decided to check his option to Selbst. She thought for about the same time before she put out a near pot sized bet of 29,000. Ristola went into the tank before eventually putting in the chips for the call. Selbst showed {q-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} for a rivered straight, and Ristola mucked. Selbst is back up to 375,000.
