Bad Start for Israelashvili
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
Stud Hi-Low
We picked up the action on fifth street when Roland Israelashvili bet and Andrew Brown called. The action repeated itself on sixth, and then both players checked seventh.
Israelashvili: 
/ 
Brown: 
/ 
Israelashvili had the low, and Brown the high. Chop it up.
It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on their chip counts. As you can see, it has been a bad start for Israelashvili.

Feast Your Eyes on These Studs (and Ladies)
Raymer Gets Scooped
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
Omaha Hi-Low
Greg Raymer and his opponent had both 800 chips in the pot and the 
board was already completed when we arrived at the table. Raymer could not beat the of his opponent and he dropped some chips, we don't know if he held a straight though as he mucked the cards.

Tryba vs. Finne: Who is the Bigger Stud?
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
Stud Hi-Low
We caught the action on sixth street when Tim Finne bet and Chris Tryba called him. Both players then checked seventh.
Finne: 
/ 
Tryba: 
/ 
Finne had an 8-6-5-3-2 low, while Tryba had the high with a pair of tens. This is a tournament played with split-pot games, so it's no surprise to see the two chop it up. Both Finne and Tryba are hovering right around the starting stack.

Touil the First to Fall
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
We didn't catch exactly how Samuel Touil was sent to the rail, but table 404 said that he raised every single hand so far and eventually ran out of chips. Nicolas Halvorson benefited from that the most, as he already doubled up his starting stack.

Aces For O'Dea
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
Stud Hi-Low
We had four way action until fourth street but Vanessa Selbst folded whereas the small blind bet and Eoghan O'Dea as well as one further opponent stayed in the pot. There was a single bet in fifth and sixth street before all three checked the river. The small blind had a 8-7 low and got scooped by the 8-6 low of other opponent whereas the former November Niner took half of the pot.
