Down to less than 2,400, David Sklansky raised from the cutoff, David Singer three-bet from the button, and it folded back to Sklansky who called with the last of his chips.
The two players with identical initials tabled their cards, and Sklansky showed to Singer's . The board rolled out , meaning Sklansky won the high with a set of aces and Singer took the low with an 8-6-4-3-A.
With the board showing , Clemens Manzano check-called a river bet by Robert Williamson III, then watched as "RWIII" tabled for a set of kings. Manzano flipped over a couple of his cards — a and a — and exhaled as he pushed his hand dealerward.
Steve Zolotow had the showing and was the bring in. Joe Cassidy and Scott Clements called and action hit Konstantin Puchkov who put out a raise. Freddy Deeb called the raise, Zolotow folded, and Cassidy and Clements tagged along to fourth street.
Puchkov continued out with a bet on fourth and Deeb quickly cut out a raise. Cassidy flat called the raise and Clements got out of the way. Puchkov decided to muck his hand as well and we were heads up to fifth.
Cassidy check-called another bet from Deeb on fifth and the two both checked sixth street. Cassidy led out on seventh, leaving himself with what looked to be around just one big bet behind. Deeb ultimately decided to fold his hand and Cassidy picked up the pot.
Cassidy now sits on about 13,000 while Deeb has fallen to 29,000.
J.C. Tran and Young Kim were battling through a seven-card stud hand, having reached seventh street with Tran showing and Kim . Kim bet dark on seventh, and after the final down cards were dealt Tran tanked a bit before calling Kim's bet.
Kim quickly flipped over . "Fives full," intoned the dealer, and Tran mucked as the chips were swept Kim's way.
We caught up with the action on the third and final draw, with Phillip Hui having been all in and standing pat since early on and three other players still vying for the pot. Jason Lester stood pat as did Hui (again), then Scott Nguyen drew one card.
It then appeared as though Joseph Deluca, acting last, stood pat as well, and Lester inaugurated the final betting round by saying he was checking. Deluca then said he hadn't decided whether to draw a card or not, and the floor was called to sort out the situation. Deluca was allowed to draw one card, then Lester checked again and it checked all the way around.
"I have a nine," said Lester, tabling his , but Hui had him beat with an 8 Badugi with his . As there was an all-in player both Nguyen and Deluca were made to show their hands, but neither had a winner, and Hui survived.
We arrived at the table to find that George Danzer had opened with a raise from the cutoff and George Linde three-bet from the button. James Van Alstyne was all in from the big blind for about 1,500 and action was back on Danzer. He made it four bets to go and Linde called.
The flop came and Danzer led out. Linde cut out a raise and Danzer stuck around. Both players checked the on the turn and the river brought a third heart with the . Danzer checked once more which prompted Linde to fire out a bet. Danzer took a moment before tossing out a call.
Linde showed for an ace-high flush which prompted Danzer to muck his hand. Van Alsyne tabled before standing up from the table and leaving the tournament area. Linde was able to drag in both the main and the side pot and now sits at about 30,000.
Start-of-day chip leader just added a few more to his leading stack while knocking out an opponent in a limit hold'em hand.
There was a bit of discussion at the river as the board showed , Smith had bet, his opponent had raised with the last of his chips, and Smith called while tabling his hand — .
At that point Smith's opponent had mucked his hand, but seemed to suggest that Smith had not called the raise — worth less than a big bet --but in fact was folding. The floor was called, however, and indeed it was ruled Smith had called, and thus was his opponent eliminated.
