Perry KO'd by Dutch

Level 9 : 200/600, 100 ante
Perry Friedman
Perry Friedman

David Bach had the bring-in and Perry Friedman completed all-in for his last 300. Dutch Boyd made it 600 and Bach made the call before calling on fourth and betting out on fifth and sixth. Boyd called each time before both players checked seventh.

Bach: {X-}{X-} / {2-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades} / {X-}
Friedman: {X-}{X-} / {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{K-Diamonds} / {X-}
Boyd: {X-}{X-} / {9-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} / {X-}

Boyd tabled his {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and captured the pot after Bach flashed the {2-Spades} and Friedman just mucked.

Mizrachi Has Heart

Level 9 : 200/600, 100 ante

Michael Mizrachi: {x-}{x-} / {8-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {x-}
Farshad Ben Cohen: {x-}{x-} / {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} /{x-}
Ashly Butler: {x-}{x-} / {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} (FOLD)

We caught the action on fourth street, where Cohen bet double the limit with a pair showing, and unbeknownst to Cohen's pair on board, Butler tossed out a bet. Butler's bet was ruled a call, and Mizrachi opted to call as well. Cohen bet again on fifth, Butler folded, and Mizrachi raised. Cohen called.

Cohen check-called bets on sixth and seventh, then folded when Mizrachi showed {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a flush.

Friedman Rising

Level 9 : 200/600, 100 ante
Adam Freidman
Adam Freidman

Three players saw fourth street but it would be Adam Friedman raising an opponent's bet to push out Shawn Buchanan. Friedman's opponent made it three bets to go and Friedman just called before calling a bet on fifth. Both players checked sixth and seventh with each player's boards as follows.

Friedman: {X-}{X-} / {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} / {X-}
Opponent: {X-}{X-} / {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} / {X-}

Friedman announced two pair and tabled his {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} / {8-Hearts} and after his opponent mucked his two pair with {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} / {8-Diamonds}, Friedman was stacking the pot to move to just on 65,000 in chips.

Martin Pairs Up on Sixth

Level 9 : 200/600, 100 ante

Jesse Martin: {x-}{x-} / {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Calvin Anderson: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}

A player brought it in with the {2-Clubs}, Martin completed on his direct left, and Anderson called. The rest of the players folded, including the player who brought it in, and Anderson called bets on fourth and fifth. On sixth, Anderson folded to a bet facing Martin's queens on board, and Martin dragged in the pot.

Benson Surging, More Casualties

Level 9 : 200/600, 100 ante

Australian Gary Benson has surged up the chip counts here early on Day 2, and with a Seven Card Stud bracelet back in 1996, he is surely one of the ones to watch out for as the day progresses.

Wrong Seat Causes Major Stud Issues

Level 9 : 200/600, 100 ante
Ivan Schertzer
Ivan Schertzer

A major issue has developed here early in the Stud Championship with Ivan Schertzer playing the wrong seat and stack.

Schertzer was supposed to be seated on table 442 seat 3 actually took a seat on 432 seat 3. Two issues arose with this. Firstly that seat was actually the vacant seat of George Danzer, and when Schertzer sat down he started playing Dario Sammartino's stack (who had yet to arrive) who was located in seat 4.

Once Sammartino arrived, attention was brought to the Tournament Director on duty, but the major problem was that Schertzer had dwindled Sammartino's 20,600-starting stack down to 12,400. Tournament Director Charlie Ciresi decided that firstly Schertzer would be moved back to his original seat and have his stack reduced to what he roughly lost from Sammartino's stack.

Those chips were then added to Sammartino's stack to bring him up to approximately what he began the day with. However since that table had played roughly 9 hands and Sammartino was forced with a bring-in, he would forfeit chips amounting to 1,200 and the dealer would add 200 to each subsequent hand to balance out what was missing.

Kessler Eliminated

Level 9 : 200/600, 100 ante

Allen Kessler: {x-}{x-} / {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades} / {x-}
Freddie Ellis: {x-}{x-} / {3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} / {x-}
Scott Seiver: {x-}{x-} / {6-Spades}{k-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} / {x-}

We arrived on sixth street, where Kessler was all in. Seiver check-called a bet from Ellis, then check-folded on seventh. Ellis showed {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} for aces and threes.

"I just have kings," Kessler said, opening up {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

He sweat his last card, but it wasn't the case king that he needed, rather it was the {6-Diamonds}. After the hand, Seiver told Kessler that he had the {k-Clubs}.

Kessler hit the rail, and there have been several other eliminations, including Poker Hall of Famer Eric Drache and George Danzer.

Bad Runout for Clements

Level 9 : 200/600, 100 ante

After a complete, Scott Clements raised it up to 1,200 from a few seats over and his opponent made the call.

Clements then called a bet on fourth before folding to a 1,200-chip bet on fifth with his opponent displaying a fairly scary board.

Clements: {X-}{X-} / {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {X-}{X-} / {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Clements however still has 16,700 in chips.
