Dwan Fighting Back

[user80015]

After being crippled to just over two big bets, Tom Dwan has managed to fight his way back to a half-average stack.

Omaha-8
In the first hand, Erik Sagstrom, Tommy Hang and Dwan saw a {A-Hearts} {7-Spades} {J-Spades} flop with Sagstrom leading the betting and both players calling. The turn of the {K-Spades} saw Dwan find himself all in as both players called.

The river of the {9-Hearts} was checked down, and when Dwan revealed his {K-} {Q-} {10-} {6-} , and Sagstrom his {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {2-Spades} {x-} , both players chopped the pot.

The following hand, Dwan raised the small blind and Sagstrom made the call. Dwan fired every street on a {4-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} board before Sagstrom folded.

Dwan is now up to 160,000 following those two hands.

Frankie Can't Be Found

[user80015]

Level 19

Scott Clements wondered over and eye-balled Frankie O'Dell's stack.

It was then that we realized that O'Dell hadn't taken his seat in today's tournament and currently his stack has been blinded down from its original 295,000 to just on 220,000.

Hopefully O'Dell will be here shortly.

Yuval Bronshtein Eliminated in 21st Place ($21,905)

[user80015]

Razz

Yuval Bronshtein found himself all in on fourth street against Andrey Zaichenko and Tommy Hang. Zaichenko kept the aggressive streak with bets on fifth, sixth and seventh with Hang making the call.

Bronshtein: (X)(X) / {5-} {10-} {3-} {J-} / (X)
Zaichenko: (X)(X) / {8-} {6-} {A-} {6-} / (X)
Hang: (X)(X) / {4-} {K-} {7-} {9-} / (X)

WIth Bronshtein tabling his {A-} {K-} {7-} , it would unfortunately not be enough as Zaichenko tabled his {8-} {7-} {4-} for eight-seven low to best Bronshtein's ten-seven low as Hung flung his cards to the muck.

As Bronshtein collected $21,905 for his 21st place finish, Zaichenko moved to just under 400,000 in chips.

Tom McCormick Eliminated in 19th Place ($21,905)

[user80015]

Level 19

Stud

Speaking to Ram Vaswani, he detailed to us how he managed to eliminate the short-stacked Tom McCormick.

McCormick held a pair of aces, while Vaswani held a pair and a straight draw. Vaswani would be the one that improved as he made a runner-runner full house on sixth and seventh street to eliminate McCormick in 19th place.
