Bohlman Cripples Volpe

[user66118]

Scott Bohlman completed with the {4-Spades} , and Paul Volpe flatted showing the {5-Hearts} .

Bohlman: (x-x) / {4-Spades} {2-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} / (x)
Volpe: (x-x) / {5-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} / (x)

Both men checked on fourth street, and Volpe took his cue to bet on fifth. Bohlman raised, though, and Volpe called the extra bet. He also check-called bets on sixth and seventh streets.

Bohlman opened up {A-Spades} {10-Spades} {2-Diamonds} / {4-Spades} {2-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} , and the two pair earned him the pot. Volpe is left with just 900 lonely chips.

Ellis Bests Deeb Again

[user66118]

Shaun Deeb had the {A-Diamonds} up, and Freddie Ellis started with the {K-Spades} . We joined them in a heads-up pot on fourth street.

Ellis: (x-x) / {K-Spades} {7-Hearts} {4-Spades} {7-Spades}

Deeb check-called a bet on fourth, then check-raised on fifth. Ellis called on fifth, then made a bet of his own when he was allowed to on sixth. Deeb check-folded, and Ellis showed him his down cards, opening up {Q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} for trips.

McCormick Busts

[user66118]

We caught up with this three-handed pot on fourth street.

Shaun Deeb: (x-x) / {5-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {A-Diamonds} / (x)
Freddie Ellis: (x-x) / {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {2-Clubs} / (x)
Tom McCormick: (x-x) / {4-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} / (x)

McCormick was already all-in by third street, and Deeb called an Ellis bet on fourth. Ellis check-called bets on fifth, sixth, and seventh streets. At showdown, Ellis rolled over {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} / {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {2-Clubs} , and Deeb couldn't beat it. He flashed two of his cards — the {3-Spades} and {7-Spades} , but a straight-flush draw doesn't beat two pair.

Ellis chips back up, knocking Deeb back under 50,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Freddie Ellis	85,000 10,000	10,000

Shaun Deeb	49,500 -8,500	-8,500

Seed Takes a Few Off Ramdin

[user66118]

We picked up the action on fourth street, heads-up between Victor Ramdin and Huckleberry Seed.

Ramdin: (x-x) / {2-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {9-Spades} {5-Clubs} / (x)
Seed: (x-x) / {8-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} / (x)

Ramdin bet his lead on fourth, then called a bet when Seed made an open pair on fifth. Sixth street went check-check, and Seed made a final bet on seventh. Ramdin couldn't call, but he was curious.

"Aces?" he asked.

Seed responded by flashing only the {A-Spades} as he pulled in the pot. The prettiest card in the deck.

Victor Ramdin	101,000 -9,000	-9,000

Huck Seed	50,200 3,200	3,200

Kenney Sliding; Schertzer & Ruberto Gone

Chad Holloway

After Nacho Berbero brought it in with the {3-Diamonds} , the start-of-the-day chip leader, Bryn Kenney, completed and was immediately two-bet by Marco Traniello. Barbero got out of the way and Kenney made the call before taking the lead on the turn. Despite that he checked and allowed Traniello to put out a bet. Kenney called but then check-folded on fifth.

Kenney (x-x) / {5-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}
Traniello: (x-x) / {7-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

Meanwhile, both Anthony Ruberto and Ivan Schertzer have been eliminated from the tournament.

Billirakis Gets it In

[user66118]

When we walked up to the pot on sixth street, there was a big pile of chips in the middle of the felt, and there was heads-up action between Michael Sigel and Steve Billirakis.

Sigel: (x-x) / {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {A-Hearts} / (x)
Billirakis: (x-x) / {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} / (x)

Sigel bet sixth, and Billirakis got his last 4,800 into the pot right there. Both men would pull blanks on seventh street, and Billirakis had the winner. He tabled {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Spades} / {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} , and his mighty sevens and deuces are going to keep him around. He's close to the average chip count once again as he sits with nearly 30,000 chips.

Violette Finishes Off Leah

Chad Holloway

Mike Leah completed and then called Cyndy Violette's two bet, which led to him calling bets on both the turn and fifth. The latter put him all in and the cards were turned up.

Violette: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} / {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {9-Clubs} / {3-Spades}
Leah: {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} / {J-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {2-Spades} / {Q-Spades}

Leah held two pair and was ahead going into seventh street, and while he improved to queens and fours, Violette caught a three to makes kings up. With that the Violette, who won a bracelet in Stud Hi/Lo back in 2004, dispatched the Canadian.

Last Year's Runner-Up Elimnated

Chad Holloway

A short-stacked Steve Landfish was all in after completing with the bring in, which was called Todd Barlow. Brandon Guss then raised on the side and Barlow called, action that would be repeated on the turn, fifth and sixth. Guss slowed down on seventh with a check, which led to him check-folding to Barlow's bet.

Landfish: {J-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} / {2-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades}
Barlow: {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} / {8-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}
Guss: (x-x) / {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Barlow caught a flush, which easily down Landfish's pair of sixes.
