Level 9 : 400/800, 200 ante

James Alexander was the chip leader at a table featuring Anthony Zinno, Roland Israelashvili and John Hennigan, and he may have been the chip leader of the tournament.

However now, he's out. According to Zinno, a big pot involving Alexander's {j-}{j-} and the {a-}{k-} of Hennigan resulted in Hennigan stacking up the chips, and he now sits on close to 90,000.

Bicknell Eliminated by Tabb

Level 9 : 400/800, 200 ante

On the first draw, Daniel Negreanu drew two, Kristen Bicknell drew one and Steven Tabb stood pat.

Negreanu checked and Bicknell bet 4,000. Tabb and Negreanu both called.

Negreanu drew one and both Bicknell and Tabb stood pat. It checked to Tabb who bet 6,700 and Negreanu folded.

"I need to ask a really important question," said Bicknell, before stopping herself. "I call."

The dealer waited for their final draws.

"There's another one?" asked Bicknell. "Oh I check. No more." Tabb also stood pat.

"What is that look!" Bicknell asked tablemate Dario Sammartino, "Now I'm thinking I did something wrong!"

Bicknell checked and Tabb put her all in. She called. Tabb showed {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for a number two. Bicknell showed {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}.

The inquest began, with Bicknell at the forefront of the discussion. "Let me write this hand down, because I really want to learn this game."

"It's a cooler," said Sammartino reassuringly to Bicknell, "But you can play better, for sure."

Ferguson Wins a Pot

Level 9 : 400/800, 200 ante

No-Limit 5 Card Draw

The player on the cutoff opened to 1,800 and Chris Ferguson took his time on the button. After contemplating what to do he put in chips for a call and both the players in the blinds folded their hands.

Both players only drew one card and the action checked to Ferguson. Ferguson then put in a bet of 3,600 and his opponent called after thinking it through.

Ferguson tabled {K-}{K-}{8-}{7-}{7-} for two pair and that was good enough to win the hand.
