Dehkharghani Can't Win the Race

No Limit Hold'em:

Raymond Dehkharghani got his last 5,000 or so all in preflop with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and was racing against the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} of his opponent. Dehkharghani was ahead at that moment, but not after the {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop. The {K-Diamonds} turn meant Dehkharghani needed one of the two remaining tens on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the {2-Spades} blanked.

Kenney Having Fun in Razz

Razz

Bryn Kenney{x-}{x-} / {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{x-}
Opponent{x-}{x-} / {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Hearts}{x-}

We caught the action on fifth street when Bryn Kenney bet and his opponent, who had a king-low as best possible hand, decided to raise. The players at the table started laughing and Kenney made the call. On sixth Kenney caught the {9-Clubs} and lead out again.

"In a cash game I would raise now, but now it's barely a call," Kenney's opponent said while the whole table started laughing again.

"He's telling the truth," Eli Elezra added with a smile, after which the player called.

Seventh street got dealt and Kenney checked.

"Paint, it's another paint," Kenney's opponent said who flashed a {J-}. Kenney showed {4-}{4-}{J-} and took down this pot.

"You started with a jack?" Elezra asked Kenny who laughed and said, "No, with a pair of fours," and this cracked up everyone at the table once again.

"So when he raised with the king he had the best hand," Scott Seiver said as everyone was enjoying this little banter. "We should just play two for one in Razz," Seiver added as he thought it was a good idea to play twice as many Razz hands. With the amount of fun the players are having that sounds like a good idea.

More Eliminations

The field is being culled and the eliminations are beginning to mount. Here's a look at the latest round of bustouts:

Hellmuth's Stay Short and Definitely Not Sweet

We noticed Phil Hellmuth, who had late registered for this event, was no longer seated over at Table 360. We checked with former table mate Chris "PiMaster" Viox for the details, but all he could tell us was: "I don't think he ever won a hand."

"Did he ever win a hand?" Viox then asked Gavin Smith across the table. Smith, who had his chair turned around and was receiving a massage, simply smirked and shook his head, "No."

Whatever the case, the late reg didn't work for the "Poker Brat" and he won't be capturing bracelet number thirteen in this event.

"ElkY" vs. "ODB"

No Limit Hold'em:

With about 5,700 in the pot and a board reading {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}, David "ODB" Baker fired out 3,300 from the big blind into Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. The latter thought for a moment before releasing. It wasn't much of a hand, but it was a good excuse for us to get you updated on their respective chip counts.
