Liebert Long Gone

Level 13

Pot-Limit Omaha

We arrived at the table just in time to see Kathy Liebert cheering for a card she needed to stay alive in the tournament. The board read {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} when we got to the table and we saw Liebert with {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{x-}{x-}.

Liebert's opponent held {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs} for the nut flush and Liebert was chanting "Seven, deuce, queen!" heading to the river.

Unfortunately it was not meant to be, though,a s the {A-Spades} peeled off on the river and Lieber was unable to best the flush. She quickly exited the tournament area.

Ivey Eliminated

Level 13

Pot-Limit Omaha

Josh Arieh has eliminated the legendary Phil Ivey from contention. According to Arieh, "Ivey didn't have s***."

Another observer told us that Ivey had raised and gotten two callers. Ivey proceeded to continuation-bet a {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts} board and was called by Arieh. Ivey then apparently jammed the rest of his chips in on {j-Diamonds}, and Arieh called with {10-}{10-}{9-}{3-}. Ivey had {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{6-}{6-} for overs and a flush draw, but Arieh filled up with a {j-Clubs} river.

Crain Can't Beat Number Three

Level 13

2-7 Triple Draw

We arrived at the table to find Eric Crain calling the all in of a a shorter stacked player. Both Crain and the short stacked player drew one card.

On the second draw, Crain was pat and his opponent drew one. Both were pat on the third draw and Crain's opponent announced "Number three", rolling over {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}. Crain mucked his cards and the pot of roughly 15,000 chips was pushed to Crain's opponent.

Arieh Gaining Steam

Level 13

Limit Hold'em

Josh Arieh continues to gain momentum. We found him facing a raise from an opponent on the button with the board reading {4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Arieh called, then led out on a {10-Clubs} river. His opponent quickly folded.

Turner Takes His Leave

Level 14

Stud Eight-or-Better

Jon Turner: {x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} / {x-}

We arrived on seventh street to see a large pot in the middle of the table and Jon Turner pondering one more bet. He thought for about thirty seconds before finally dropping in a call. Turner's opponent fanned {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for deuces full of aces and Turner mucked his hand. This loss left him with only 2,400 in chips. He was eliminated from play moments later.

"Oh S***, I Have a Pair"

Level 14

2-7 Triple Draw

Eric Crain was in the cutoff against an opponent in the big blind, and Crain laughed and drew four after his opponent drew one.
Crain's opponent fired out after the draw, and Crain raised. The big blind made it three bets, and Crain called.

The big blind stood pat, and Crain drew one. Crain called his opponent's bet.

The big blind again stood pat, and Crain drew a final card. His opponent checked dark. Crain bet, and his opponent called. Crain announced an eight-seven.

"No good," his opponent said, turning over his hand.

"I've got an eight...," the dealer trailed off as he noticed Crain's opponent had turned over a hand with two fours.

"Oh s***, I have a pair," the player said. "I suck."
