Dan Kelly Getting Short

Level 8

Stud

On 3rd street, a player completed with the {7-Diamonds} and Dan Kelly ({7-Hearts}) and Joe Kuether ({k-Diamonds}) both called. Kuether bet out on fourth street after receiving the {6-Diamonds}, and both his opponents called. Kelly paired his board on 6th street with the {7-Clubs}, and he led out. Kuether folded, and his other opponent called. Here's how their boards looked on sixth street:

Kelly: {7-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Kelly checked his pair, his opponent bet, and Kelly tanked for about a minute before folding. He's now down to only 3,000 chips.

Jeff Lisandro scooped the pot.

Stud Eight or Better

We found Jeff Lisandro all in for the last of his chips with {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} against an opponent with {2-}{2-}{8-}. Lisandro's board after six cards: {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. He already had the low locked up since his opponent hadn't improved his deuces and had an eight-seven.

"One pair," Lisandro's opponent said after seeing his last card. Lisandro turned over another jack to scoop the pot.

Hennigan Regains Some Chips

Level 7

Omaha Eight or Better

After one player limped, the small blind called and John Hennigan raised from the big blind. Both other players called, and they saw a flop of {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. The small blind led out, and both Hennigan and the other opponent called. On the {2-Hearts} turn, the small blind led out again, but this time only Hennigan made the call. The small blind bet again on the {4-Clubs} river card, and this time Hennigan raised. His opponent called, and Hennigan showed {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts} for a pair of fours for high and an 8-low, good enough to scoop the pot.

Johnny World is now back up to 23,000.

Brunson Up and Down

Level 7

Stud Eight or Better

Todd Brunson was low on chips when the players returned from dinner break. He's done a good job of battling back, but recently took a hit to his stack.

He came to the table on 5th street. Brunson checked showing {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, and his opponent bet with {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. Brunson called, and the action repeated itself on 6th street. Both players checked the river, and it was time for a showdown:

Brunson: {x-}{x-}{x-}/{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}/{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The pair of queens was good enough to win, and Brunson's stack is back down to 4,500.

Bloch's Two Pair Better

Level 7

Stud Eight or Better

A player completed from early position with an eight, and Andy Bloch raised it with a three. His opponent called. Bloch kept firing as he caught a couple of low card, and his opponent kept calling, until Bloch checked seventh street and then called.

Bloch: {a-}{3-}{x-}/{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-}{9-}{a-}/{8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Bloch's aces up took the whole pot.
