Tam Hanged

Tam Hang managed to double during a hand of Stud Eight-or-Better hand just a short while ago. He made a full house aces over tens against Anthony Bellino and raked in the double. He was still short after that hand though and was all-in just a few hands later. He didn't manage to catch the right cards and was eliminated.

Smith, Berumen Bow Out

Stud-8

Mike Krescanko{x-}{x-} / {10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades} / {x-}
Raymond Davis{x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} (FOLDED)
Lori Berumen{x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs} / {x-}

Davis completed, Berumen called, Krescanko raised, and both Davis and Berumen called.

On fourth street, the action checked to Krescanko, who bet. Davis and Berumen both called. On fifth, the action checked to Krescanko who bet again, and only Berumen called.

Krescanko made a pair of kings on sixth, and led out. Berumen shrugged, and decided that that pot was too big to fold. She called, and then called all in blind on seventh. Krescanko turned over {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for aces up, and Berumen showed {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for just a pair of aces.

She was eliminated, while Krescanko crossed the 100K mark.

On an adjacent table, Mallory Smith was busted as well.

Lisandro Building, Kassin Okay, Riesenberg Out

Omaha-8

Charles Kassin has just played out a couple of hands to see his stack sway up and down. We watched the first hand play out like this.

Jeff Lisandro was under the gun when he opened up the pot with a raise. Only Kassin would make a call a couple of spots to his left. The {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop would see Lisandro fire out a bet and Kassin called. Lisandro then bet the {k-Hearts} turn and Kassin folded. Lisandro then said, "i had a big hand," as he tabled {q-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, holding two flush draws.

A couple of hands later we noticed that Kassin was raking in the remainder of Jason Riesenberg's chips to see his stack build back up.

Jacks Full for Kovalchuk

Omaha-8

Perry Friedman led out on a flop of {6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Oleksii Kovalchuk and Timothy Frazin called. The turn was the {j-Hearts}, and Friedman led out again. Kovalchuk raised, and Frazin released, and Friedman tank-called.

The river was the {3-Clubs}, and Friedman checked for the first time. Kovalchuk quickly bet, and Friedman tank-called. Kovalchuk tabled {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for jacks full of threes, and Friedman showed {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a king-high flush.

Kovalchuk raked in the pot, rocketing his stack above 100,000 chips.
