John Monnette was all in by fourth street, heads-up against Rep Porter. On fifth street, the boards looked like this:
Monnette: /
Porter: /
Monnette was in a big lead with two to come, but he bricked off with a and a to be stuck with a ten-low. Porter was drawing hot. He pulled a and a to make an eight-seven at showdown and signal the end of the road for Monnette.
"Runner-runner," Monnette astutely noted as he stood up to gather his things. "Perfect-perfect." With that, he was whisked away to the payout desk to collect 13th-place money.
Rep Porter put George Lewis all in on third streed for about 30,000. Through sixth streets, the boards read like so:
Porter: /
Lewis: /
Lewis needed to catch a card to stay alive, and Porter did him the courtesy of asking who he preferred to turn their river card over first. "Simul-?" Lewis asked. In unison, Porter flipped over a and Lewis a .
"Nine's good," Porter acknowledged, and that allows Lewis to double back to about 70,000.
We didn't quite catch the hand but know that Scott Bohlman was all in on third against Tommy Chen and had Chen drawing dead at some point before seventh.
Scott Bohlman completed and then called after Matt Smith had raised. Bohlman led out on fourth and received a call. On fifth, Smith bet and Bohlman called all in for 20,000 which was the exact amount of the bet as the players revealed their hands.
Bohlman: /
Smith: /
Smith was ahead with his jack-low at that point and hit a on sixth to give him an event better eight-low. Bohlman double-paired with a and was drawing dead. It came a meaningless for Smith and a for Bohlman on the end as Smith took a leap up the leaderboard while Bohlman was eliminated.
Both players checked fourth street, and Rechnitzer bet his lead on fifth. Smirnov called, and Rechnitzer let him bet on sixth before check-calling himself. On seventh, it went check-check again.
Rechnitzer showed / for the ten-low, but it was no good. Smirnov made sure, then tabled / for the eighty-seven perfect. It was good for the pot, and it's not good at all for Rechnitzer, down now to just 39,000 chips.
