Laak Looking Up

Phil Laak: (X)(X) / {3-}{k-}{8-}{4-} / (X)
Fei Chu: (X)(X) / {3-}{q-}{8-}{5-} / (X)

Both players checked on fourth street, and then Chu check-called a bet on each subsequent street. Laak opened up {2-}{4-}{5-} for an eight-five, prompting Chu to flash a {6-}{2-} then muck.

Laak raked in the pot, and is nearing 40,000 chips.

No Candy for Sugar Bear

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We found Al 'Sugar Bear' Barbieri all in against three opponents. Unfortunately, Barbieri was no longer at the table by fifth and had exited the tournament area. After the hand played out, Barbieri was officially eliminated.

Bihl Not Smiling Against Smirnov

Smirnov: (X)(X) / {5-}{2-}{Q-}{10-} / (X)
Proulx: (X)(X) / {2-}{Q-}{A-} FOLDED
Bihl: (X)(X) / {4-}{4-}{7-}{4-} / (X)

We caught up with the action on fifth where Miguel Proulx checked to Thomas Bihl who bet. The action was on Mikhaeil Smirnov next who raised and Proulx folded. Bihl came along and said “Oh, come on” when he made trips on sixth where both players checked. On seventh, both players checked again and Bihl showed {3-}{6-}{K-} for a king-low. Smirnov turned over {J-}{2-}{7-} for a jack-low which was good to win the pot as Bihl nodded his head in frustration.

Owais Has Technique

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

George Lewis completed with an {a-}, Owais Ahmed called with a {3-}, and the two went heads up to sixth street.

Lewis: (X)(X) / {a-}{j-}{10-}{j-}
Ahmed: (X)(X) / {3-}{10-}{q-}{8-}

Phil Laak was calling the action as it happened, doing his best Lon McCarren impersonation. Ahmed bet when Lewis bricked on fourth, and Lewis called. Lewis returned the favor on fifth when Ahmed caught a queen, and Ahmed called. Lewis paired on sixth though, and when Ahmed bet he quickly folded.

"I was on the edge of my seat there," George Lind said with regards to Laak's commentating.

"Owais has technqiue!" Laak blurted.

Habib Doubles Shorty

Habib: (X)(X) / {5-}{4-}
Paulson: (X)(X) / {7-}{4-}

Hasan Habib completed and Kai Paulson raised. Habib made the call and check-called Paulson’s all in for 500 as the players revealed their cards.

Habib: {Q-}{3-}
Paulson: {2-}{3-}

Habib paired his {5-} on sixth while Paulson also hit a {5-} to give him a seven low. Habib’s {K-} on sixth had him drawing dead as Paulson doubled up but was still short while Habib’s stack got a bit shorter himself.

Seidel Triples

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Erik Seidel: (X)(X) / {5-}{9-}{3-}{3-} / (X)
Fabian Holling: (X)(X) / {9-}{2-}{a-}{j-} / (X)
David Funkhouser: (X)(X) / {3-}{7-}{10-}{7-} / (X)

We reached the table on fifth street, where four bets got in, putting Seidel all in. Holling bet into the side pot on sixth, Funkhouser called, and the two checked on seventh.

"Nine-six," Holling announced.

Seidel remained silent, then tabled {2-}{2-}{4-} for a nine-five. He scooped the pot, tripling to nearly 30,000 chips.
