Just The Wheel For Elezra

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Eric Wasserson raised it up from under the gun, and Eli Elezra three bet it from the cutoff. Wasserson made the call, then both players drew one card. Wasserson fired out, and Elezra made the call. Wasserson stood pat, and Elezra tanked for about 20 seconds before saying "I'm pat." Wasserson checked, and Elezra fired out. Both players stayed pat, and the same betting action occurred, with Wasserson tanking about a minute before calling.

Elezra chucked his hand face up towards the middle, showing the stone cold nuts: {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Wasserson said something along the lines of "I thought you had that hand," before rechecking his hole cards, then mucking.

Sarkeshik Sunk

Shamus
Shamus
Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Finally Ali Sarkeshik's Event #59 has ended in 24th place, but not before he left everyone with a few last grins by which to remember him.

All in from the small blind against Brian Brubaker (big blind) and Michael Mizrachi (cutoff), Sarkeshik took three cards and the others each took two.

"I check!" said Sarkeshik with a grin, even though he had no chips left with which to bet.

Brubaker also checked, Mizrachi bet, and Brubaker called. Sarkeshik and Brubaker both took two on the next draw, and Mizrachi just one. Again it checked to Mizrachi who bet, and Brubaker folded this time.

Both Sarkeshik and Mizrachi drew on the end, and Mizrachi showed his four cards — {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-} — then turned over the fifth, a {5-}.

At the sight of that Sarkeshik winced as he turned over his four cards — {8-}{6-}{4-}{2-}. "How many outs do I have?" he asked out loud. Mizrachi pointed across the room to the exit doors. "There are lots of outs," said the Grinder with a big grin.

Sarkeshik squeezed his last card — a {10-} — then bid everyone good luck before he departed. Meanwhile, Mizrachi has pushed up over 350,000 and into the lead once again.

Anderson Survives, Still Short

Shamus

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

A couple of the short stacks just went to battle, with the shorter of the two — Calvin Anderson — surviving. Anderson managed to draw a smooth eight — {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} — while his opponent, Dale Townsend, ended up pairing a {7-} on the end. Anderson survives, but both remain short with 23 left.

Amundsgard Busts With Number Four

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

We were only able to walk up in time to see the hands at the end, but we do know that Stian Amundsgard was all in after the second draw with {7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}. His opponent, Eric Wasserson, also stood pat after the second draw, and he showed one of the few hands that had Amundsgard beat: {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}. Amundsgard thus hit the rail in 23rd.

Brubaker Doubles Through Puchkov

Shamus
Shamus
Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Konstantin Puchkov raised and a short-stacked Brian Brubaker called from the big blind. Brubaker took three on the first draw while Puchkov took but one. Brubaker then check-raised Puchkov's bet and the Russian just called, leaving Brubaker with just a couple of chips left.

Both took one on the last draw and Brubaker got the last of his chips in the middle. Puchkov stood pat on the end while Brubaker drew one, so Puchkov showed his {9-}{8-}{7-}{3-}{2-} first.

Brubaker fanned out his {8-}{7-}{4-}{2-}, then turned over his final card... a {3-}. Brubaker had survived, although is still sitting with only about a half-dozen big bets.

Townsend, Hale Out; 20 Remain

Shamus

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Two more eliminations to report, both coming in rapid fashion over on Table 347.

The first to go was Dale Townsend after having gotten involved in a three-way hand versus Brant Hale and Farhad Momeni. Momeni had taken the lead early in the drawing in that one, standing pat while the other two kept taking cards. Hale finally dropped out on the third draw, after Townsend was all in, and Townsend was needing one more card while Momeni continued to stand pat.

Momeni had a number four — {7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} — while Townsend had {7-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and slim hopes of drawing a suitable fifth card. Alas for Townsend, he picked up another {3-} on the end and was knocked out in 22nd place.

After losing chips in that hand, Brant Hale soon followed Townsend to the rail in 21st place after losing the last of his stack to Calvin Anderson.

Brubaker Doubles, Then Triples

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Brian Brubaker was down to just his last 7,000, but he quickly turned that into 45,000 in back-to-back hands. In the first hand, Brubaker was all in before the first draw, and Sebastian Sabic made the call. Both players drew two the first draw, one the second draw, and on the third draw, Sabic stood pat, while Brubaker drew one. Sabic showed {9-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-}, and Brubaker tabled {5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. He flipped his last card up, a {7-} for the wheel, and he took down the pot to double up.

On the next hand, Brubaker raised it up from under the gun, and Sabic made it three bets. Mizrachi called, as did Brubaker, and everyone drew two cards. Mizrachi checked to Brubaker, who fired out. Sabic called, then Mizrachi raised, and both players called, with Brubaker calling all in. Brubaker drew two again, while Mizrachi and Sabic both drew one. They checked it through, and again they both drew one, while Brubaker patted. It was checked again, and the {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-} of Brubaker bested the {10-} low of Sabic and the {j-} low of Mizrachi.
