Schneider Snatches Up Chips

Mike Schneider was in late position holding {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} when faced with the open of a player in middle position. He made the call and then the player on his left three-bet. The player who opened the pot, along with Schnieder, made the call and the {j-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop was dealt.

On the flop, the middle-position bet, Schneider raised and the player to his left folded. The middle-position player called and a {4-Clubs} hit the turn. This time the player check-called a bet from Schneider and then checn-called again on the {10-Clubs} river. When Schneider turned over his flopped set, it was enough to take down the pot.

Lisandro Falters

Jeff Lisandro is now sitting behind just a few big bets and we were there to see him lose a bunch of his chips. It started when a player opened it up with a raise and Lisandro called in the big blind. The {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop would see Lisandro call the bet of his opponent before a {2-Clubs} hit the turn. Lisandro again called a bet and a {j-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Lisandro wouldn't commit another bet here, deciding to fold as his opponent fired out a third bullet.

Mercier No More

Prominent poker pro Jason Mercier is no longer involved in this tournament and we were there to catch his bust out. At the time, the board showed {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Mercier was calling the last of his chips when Mark Burford fired out a bet.

Mercier held {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, his pair of queens well ahead of the {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} that Burford held. However, that all changed on the river, as a {4-Spades} gave Burford the two-pair and all of Mercier's chips.

Chan the Leader

Terrence Chan's stack is ever-growing of late as we wtinessed him taking down another pot recently, this time against Daniel Negreanu. We caught the action from the flop with {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades} showing and Negreanu first to act. He flicked out a bet here and Chan called as a {6-Clubs} fell on the turn. This time Negreanu checked and Chan bet. A call from Negreanu and a {5-Spades} completed the board on the river. Another check from Negreanu and Chan would bet. Negreanu made the call and then mucked his hand as Chan turned over {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

Juanda's Last Hand

Five-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner John Juanda has just played his last hand of this tournament.

Juanda was all-in for his last chips preflop, while Gabriel Nassif and Kevin Song played out a hand with a board showing {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Spades}. The betting was capped on the flop and then one bet on the turn and river.

Nassif: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Song: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Juanda: {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Song's set on the flop was good enough to take down the pot, while Nassif's stack is now quite low and Juanda was sent out the door.

Baker Busto

David "ODB" Baker has just been eliminated. The last hand of Baker's afternoon began when Baker opened the cutoff holding {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Douglas Rutherford then three-bet the button holding {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Baker made the call and a {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop was dealt. Baker only one had one bet remaining in his stack and flicked that in on the flop. Rutherford called and the two players turned their hands over.

The turn {4-Diamonds} and river {6-Clubs} didn't give Baker the cards he needed to survive and he was sent out the door.
