Lisandro Tries a Bluff

Level 2

2-7 Triple Draw

After the last draw, Jeff Lisandro checked to Jeremy Ausmus, who bet. Lisandro raised, and Ausmus thought briefly before putting in a call. Lisandro knuckled the table, indicating he couldn't win, and placed two eights on the felt. Ausmus showed {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} for an eight-seven to take the pot.

Burr-n Notice

Level 2

Stud

Burr: {x-}{x-} / {6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} / {x-}
Duhamel: {x-}{x-} / {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades} / {x-}
Hang: {x-}{x-} / {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} --fold

We picked up with the action on fourth street in time to see Tommy Hang fire out a bet with eight-seven of hearts showing. Jonathan Duhamel called to see fifth and Melissa Burr came along as well. Hang paired his sevens on fifth and continued out with a bet. Both of his opponents called.

Sixth street saw Burr pair her sixes, but Hang still had the lead with sevens showing. He checked, Duhmael led out, Burr called, and Hang ultimately opted to release his hand.

Burr's sixes gave her the first action on seventh and she checked. Duhmael knuckled the table back. Burr showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{K-Spades} for Broadway. Duhamel tossed his cards into the muck and Burr took down the pot. She now has 142,000 in chips.

A Boat For Ivey

Level 2

Omaha 8

Elior Sion raised and Phil Ivey called from the big blind. The flop brought out {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Ivey check-called a bet from Sion. On the turn the {7-Diamonds} popped up and Ivey check-called another bet. The river brought the {7-Spades} and now Ivey lead out and Sion called.

Ivey tabled {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a full house and he took this pot down.

Song That Never Ends

Level 2

No-Limit Hold'em

On a flop of {2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Talal Shakerchi checked over to Jeremy Ausmus. Ausmus bet 3,500, Kevin Song called, and Andy Bloch folded the button. Shakerchi followed suit with a fold, leaving Ausmus and Song heads up to fourth street.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Ausmus slowed with a check. Song took the lead to the tune of 5,000. Ausmus stayed the course and the {5-Diamonds} paired the board on the river. Ausmus checked and Song fired a final bet of 10,000. Ausmus flicked out a call but mucked his cards after seeing Song's {6-Spades}{4-Spades} for a flopped straight.

Song pulled in the pot and now has 168,000 in chips while Ausmus has dropped to 137,000.

Kings For Lisandro

Level 2

Stud

We caught the action on fourth street when Jeff Lisandro bet and Jeremy Ausmus called. On fifth Lisandro bet again and Ausmus called. Sixth street gave Lisandro a pair of kings showing and a bet on that street was enough to take this pot down.

Jeremy Ausmus: {X-}{X-} / {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} --fold
Jeff Lisandro: {X-}{X-} / {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Lisandro finished seventh in the $1,500 Limit Hold'em just a few hours ago and you can follow the conclusion of this event right here.
