Luneau Hang-ed

Stud-8

Alexandre Luneau found himself virtually all in on third street before committing his final few thousand against Tommy Hang on fourth as both player's boards ran out as following.

Luneau: {6-Spades}{5-Hearts} / {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Spades}
Hang: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} / {K-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

With Hang catching the {2-Spades}, Luneau was unable to improve as he found the {J-Hearts} to be forced to the rail as Hang moves to 300,000 in chips.

Alexander Kravchenko
Alexander Kravchenko

Stud-8

Alexander Kravchenko found himself all in on fourth street with Chris Klodnicki and Tom Dwan playing out the pot before Klodnicki folded on seventh.

Kravchenko: (X)(X) / {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} / (X)
Dwan: (X)(X) / {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{Q-Spades} / (X)
Klodnicki: (X)(X) / {A-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} / (X)

Dwan tabled his {Q-}{9-}{9-} or trips, and when Kravchenko flashed his {8-}{8-}(X), he mucked and headed to the rail as Dwan climbed to the chip lead with 330,000 in chips.

Pirate Doubles through Soulier

Level 15

Hold'em

Max Pescatori got his last 19,500 in preflop with {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Fabrice Soulier looked up his fellow European with {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. "Oh, nice," Pescatori said when the {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop put his pair in the lead. The {j-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river were blanks, and the Italian Pirate more than doubled to 47,000. The price was sweat for Soulier, who is still chip leader with 310,000.

Fricke: (X)(X) / {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} / (X)

Matusow: (X)(X) / {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{Q-Hearts} / (X)

Catching the action with each player's board reading as above, Mike Matusow would bet seventh street only to have Jimmy Fricke two-bet. Felipe Ramos folded, and after deliberating for several moments, Matusow folded leaving himself just under one big bet.

Binger Binks A Mammoth Pot

Stud-8

We came in after all the betting was done and Michael Binger showed {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for sixes full of aces which was good enough to beat Pawel Andrzejewski and Ken Lennaard. Binger only had 30,000 or so behind after the betting, but scooped the pot and is now up to 230,000. Lennaard busted the very next hand and Andrzejewsk is down to only 30,000

Stern, Wong Chop

Level 15

Omaha-8

Fu Wong opened to 10,000 from under the gun only to have Jason Stern three-bet next to act. Fabrizio Gonzalez made the call from the cutoff as Wong called the additional 5,000 to see a {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop fall.

Stern bet out 5,000 and brought about a fold from Gonzalez as Wong check-called before the turn landed the {9-Diamonds}. Wong check-called 10,000 before leading the river of the {7-Diamonds}.

Stern made the call tabling his {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for the low, while Wong's {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} for the high was enough to see both players chop the pot up.

Godfather Puts a Hit on Ho

Stud

Doyle Brunson: (X)(X) / {8-Hearts}{a-}{j-}{7-Hearts} / (X)
Maria Ho: (X)(X) / {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} / (X)

Doyle Brunson bet sixth street as we arrived, and Maria Ho sank into thought. Finally she moved in for just slightly more than the bet. Brunson called and didn't need to sweat seventh as he had {10-}{9-} in the hole for a jack-high straight. Ho's river was no help and she said her goodbyes, leaving only men behind to fight over a piece of jewelry.
