Hastings and Morgan Busto

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Jordan Morgan was very short stacked coming back from break, and he was eliminated in one of the first hands back. We also lost Brian Hastings, and while we didn't catch that hand, we saw the chips being pushed towards Todd Brunson. We asked Brunson about the details, and he said that he had middle set, while Hastings held the nut flush draw and a pair. The draw never came through, and Brunson was given a boost to 235,000.

Harman Quartered

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Jennifer Harman raised to 10,000 under the gun and Robert Harwell looked her up from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded, the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Harwell called a bet from the two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner.

Both players proceeded to check the {9-Clubs} turn and then there was a bet and a call on the {8-Hearts} river (we're not sure who it was as the action happened so quickly). What we do know is Harman held the {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for an ace-three low and a pair of sevens and was quartered when Harwell tabled the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for the same low and a pair of eights.

Steinberg Scoops Big One Without Showdown

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

We walked up to the table where John Racener and Max Steinberg are currently residing to see the two of them tangled in a huge pot. Both players already had a ton of bets in front of them when we arrived, with the board showing {5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. We're not sure how many bets went in on the turn, but we do know that Steinberg was the last aggressor. The river was the {j-Spades}, and Steinberg fired out one more barrel. This bet sent Racener in the tank for about 90 seconds, which is a long time for a limit game. Eventually, Racener kicked his hand in, giving the big pot to Steinberg.

An International Showdown

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Kim Sherlin raised to 10,000 under the gun and action folded around to Hungary's Szabolcs Saskoy in the big blind. He asked Sherlin, who hails from Great Britain, if he wanted action, and then opted to give it to him without waiting for an answer.

Saskoy proceeded to check-call a bet on the {q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop and then checked the {Q-Hearts} turn. Shelin bet once again and then called off his remaining 8,000 when Saskoy check-raised.

Saskoy: {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Sherlin: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Sherlin was in a bad spot as Saskoy had turned trips; in fact, the Brit needed an ace on the river to survive. The dealer burned and slowly put out the {6-Diamonds}, the last card Sherlin would see in Event #20: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low 8-or-Better before exiting in 44th place.
