Lowery First Elimination

Daniel Lowery has been eliminated and his tablemates were nice enough to fill us in on the action.

Frank Kassela opened and and Lowery called on the button. The flop came {Q-} {10-} {3-}, Kassela bet 725 and Lowery raised to 1,800. Kassela called and the turn came {K-}. Kassela checked, Lowery bet 3,000 and Kassela raised enough to put Lowery all in.

Lowery had a little under 12,000 behind and he called.

Lowery: {K-} {Q-}
Kassela: {Q-} {9-}

The river came a {J-} and Kassela rivered a straight sending Lowery to the rail.

Moorman Cruising

One player has seperated himself from the pack just before our first break here, and that player is Chris Moorman. The latest pot to add to his stack occurred in a heads up hand with Matt Chang. The flop read {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} when we arrived, and Moorman bet out 600. Chang tossed in the call, and the {7-Diamonds} hit the turn. Both players checked, and the {8-Diamonds} hit the river, completing a scary looking board.

Moorman fired out 2,150, and after about 30 seconds of thought, Chang tossed in the call. Moorman tabled {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a straight, and Chang mucked his hand. After that pot, Moorman is all the way up to 58,000, while Chang drops to 27,500.

Daniel Lowery and John Dolan went a flop of {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. Lowery checked, Dolan bet and Lowery raised to 3,575. Dolan called and the turn came {A-Hearts}. Lowery check-called 3,650 and the river came {6-Spades}.

Lowery checked, Dolan bet 10,800 and Lowery called. Lowery tabled pocket eights for a flopped full house and Dolan showed him bad news when he tabled {A-Spades} {10-Spades} for a larger full house.

Israelashvili Back in Brasilia

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Roland Israelashvili is back in action here right in front of the media desk. His other event is on break and doing a color up so he ran to catch a few hands here. He said has lost a few chips and is down to around 15,000 (below average) in Event 59.

Clinkscales bet 2,825 on the river and Stazsko raised to 6,500. Clinkscales thought for a minute and then tossed in a call. Clinkscales tabled pocket fives for a full house and Stazsko tabled {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for a larger full house.
