On a flop of , Brandon Guss checked from the big blind and Steve Landfish bet from the hijack. Brad Libson was on the button and put in a raise, which drove Guss from the hand.
Landfish made the call and then check-raised Libson on the turn. The latter made the call and watched Landfish fire another barrel on the river. "Raise," Libson announced.
"You've got to be kidding me," Landfish said as he shot back in his chair. He made the call nonetheless and discovered his was no good against Libson's .
David Williams was the chip leader earlier today, but he's found the last few levels a little slower going. We just picked up a hand between he and Tom Schneider.
Razz:
Williams: (x-x) / / (x)
Schneider: (x-x) / / (x)
Williams bet his lead on fourth, then called one of Schneider's bets on fifth. Schneider bet sixth, too, and Williams was calling that bet. "Drawing at a wheel, buddy," he said as he did. "If it's not obvious already."
That didn't stop Schneider from firing one last bullet on seventh, and Williams could not call that one. He mucked, and his once mighty stack has dropped below the chip average.
Schneider, on the other hand, has been doing good work since our last update on him.
Andrew Barber was getting short on chips by the time this hand began, and he got himself all in on the turn of a board.
Showdown
Barber:
Opponent:
Barber had found a good flop, but the eight on the turn put him in a coin flip for his tournament life with one to come. He needed to find an out in a hurry, but the river was not enough.
We caught the action on the turn with an extremely short-stacked Michele Limongi all in. Gabriel Nassiff had just bet with a pair of queens and received a call from Chip Jett, who was showing a pair of fours. The on fifth gave Jett a set and he bet, prompting Nassif to fold and say, "Quads?"
Sam Grizzle opened with a raise, and Steve Landfish three-bet next door. Grizzle spent a good 30 seconds fiddling with some rap music playing loudly from his phone, then finally looked up and made his move. "What'd he do? Raise??" With that, Grizzle made the call.
The dealer spread out , and Grizzle check-called a bet. He almost beat Landfish into the pot with his chips, and he did so again on the turn. When the river, Landfish checked it back and showed down his .
Action folded around to a woman in the small blind and she put in a raise. A short-stacked Michael Chow was in the big blind and pushed back with a three-bet, which quickly escalated into a capped pot. The flop saw the small blind bet and Chow called off his last 900.
Showdown
Chow
Small Blind
Chow was ahead, but he needed to dodge two overs and a counterfeit to any . He did just that as the appeared on the turn followed by the on the river. Chow doubled to 24,000 on the hand, which is less than half the chip average.
