Winner Winner Chicken Dinners

Leif Force managed to finish the deal versus Chris Brammer, and on an adjacent table, Sam Stein was besting Jon Jaffe.

Stein opened and bet, bet, shoved on a {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} board. Jaffe called all the way and all-in on the river with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Stein tabled {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and took the scalp and at least a min cash.

Brits in a Battle

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Stephen Chidwick and Chris Brammer were both drawn next to each other at table 10, but each faced off against a different opponent.

Chidwick has already been downed and Brammer just lost a big pot and was forced to trade in his third lammer.

He and Leif Force got to the turn where the board read {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}. Big bets were exchanged before the remaining chips quickly went in on the {7-Clubs} river.

"King-deuce," announced Force and opened {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Brammer's eyebrows almost reached his back hair, before he mucked.

Benefield Moves On, ElkY ShakY

We were watching the action by the two brightest heads of hair in the room - Guillaume Darcourt and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. The two Frenchmen seem to be enjoying their heads up match - Grospellier is casually eating a salad, they're laughing and speaking French between hands. Darcourt has the best of it at the moment - Grospellier is down to one lammer and around 10,000 while Darcourt still has both rebuy lammers.

At an adjacent table we saw David Benefield filling out his chip slip for a return tomorrow at 1 p.m. for Round 4.

Frantic to the Finish

We said the Shaun Deeb vs Eric Froehlich game was being paid at a frantic pace, so much so that it's over already.

Deeb lost his second bullet and then lost his third, and last, on the very next hand.

Froehlich opened to 800 and Deeb called to see a {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop. Deeb check-called a 1,200 bet here and a 2,500 bet on the {k-Hearts} turn. The river came {3-Clubs} and Deeb check-called all-in.

Froehlich opened {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for a turned flush and Deeb just mucked.

Anyone think Deeb has Stud on his mind after his recent performances in the SCOOP?
