Mike Leah: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} / {x-}
Jeff Lisandro: {x-}{x-} / {5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / {x-}
Yehuda Buchalter: {x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} / {x-}

We picked up the action on fifth street with around 20,000 already in the pot and three players still in the hand. Mike Leah had the betting and checked to Yehuda Buchalter who threw in a bet. Jeff Lisandro called along with Mike Leah.

Leah led out on sixth and got a fold from Buchalter but Lisandro still called. On seventh, Leah threw in another bet and Lisandro quickly turned his cards face down and pushed them into the muck.

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Daniel Tafur had been cruising through the day, knocking players out left, right, and center, at his table until Frank Kassela joined his table.

Frank Kassela: {x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} / {x-}
Daniel Tafur: {x-}{x-} / {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} - fold on fifth

The action was checked to Kassela on fourth who threw in a bet "just in case" as he said. Both Tafur and another opponent made the call. On fifth, Tafur made a pair of queens and led out with a bet. Kassela was the only player to call as they went heads-up to sixth.

Tafur checked to Kassela who showed four cards to a wheel and Kassela tossed in another bet. Tafur called and then checked again on seventh. Kassela bet again and Tafur let out a grumble.

"I don't think he's raising you," Esther Taylor pointed out at the table. Tafur indeed just called and Kassela turned over {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for aces up and a seven perfect. Tafur flashed the {k-}{j-}{10-} before his cards went to the muck.

"What street didn't you like there?" Kyle Miaso asked Kassela.

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Tom Koral: {x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} - fold on sixth
Brandon Shack-Harris: {x-}{x-} / {2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} / {x-}

Picking up the action on fifth street, the action was on Tom Koral who threw in a bet and was called by his opponent on his left and Brandon Shack-Harris. On sixth, the action checked to Koral again who continued with another bet. His opponent on his left folded and Shack-Harris quickly called.

Before the last cards were dealt, Shack-Harris checked, Koral bet, and Shack-Harris called. Koral flipped over {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a nine-high straight and an eight low. Shack-Harris lifted his cards up but was unable to beat Koral, sending the entire pot his way.

Brian Twete Scooping Pots, Possible Chip Leader

Sam Cosby
Sam Cosby
Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Brian Twete: {x-}{x-}/{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}/{x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-}/{Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}/{x-}

Picking up the action from fifth street, Brian Twete put out a bet when checked to and his opponent called. Twete bet again on sixth and seventh streets and his opponent called each time.

Twete showed down his {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} on seventh and with a straight and a six low, he would take down another pot. Twete looks to be the biggest stack in the room at this point with over 150,000 chips.

In 2012, Twete made the final table of the $5,000 Stud Hi-Lo event and he also has one cash from earlier this series in a stud hi-lo as well. He'll look to improve on those performances with a strong running in this event.

Vitch and Leah Chop a Four-Way Pot

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Chris Vitch: {x-}{x-}/{3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}/{x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-}/{5-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs}/{x-}
Dan Shak: {x-}{x-}/{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} - fold on fifth
Mike Leah: {x-}{x-}/{4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}/{x-}

After a limp from one player, Dan Shak completed. He was called by Mike Leah, Chris Vitch, and the original limper.

On fourth street, action checked to the fourth player in the hand and he bet. Shak, Leah and Vitch all called.

On fifth street, action checked to Leah. Leah put out a bet and Vitch called. The other player called as well while Shak let it go.

On sixth street, Leah led out with a bet again and he was called by Vitch and the other player. All three players checked on seventh.

Vitch showed his {4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for two pair. Leah held {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} for jacks and an eight-six low. The third player in the hand could only produce {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a pair of eights. That meant Leah and Vitch would chop the pot.
