Zeidman Scoops Mitseff with Queens Up

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Cory Zeidman completed and John Urpsis called. Jeffrey Mitseff made it two bets, and once the bring-in folded, both Zeidman and Urpsis called.

Mitseff bet fourth and only Zeidman called as fifth street checked through. On sixth, Mitseff bet, and Zeidman called.

Zeidman: {x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} / {x-}
Urpsis: {x-}{x-} / {q-Spades}{9-Clubs} (folded on fourth)
Mitseff: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs} / {x-}

On seventh, both players checked, and Mitseff tabled his {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a pair of fours.

Zeidman revealed his {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} for queens up, and he scooped the pot from Mitseff.

Racener: "I'll Take It In Cash"

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
John Racener
John Racener

John Racener just took his seat in the Stud Hi-Lo Championship, and since he had bought in after the event started, he was supposed to begin with a full stack of 60,000.

Unfortunately his stack had been in play for the first part of the level, and the Tournament Director came over and broke down his stack.

"You have 58,600, so I owe you 1,400," stated the Tournament Director in reference to adding chips to his stack to make it up to 60,000.

"Ok. I'll take it in cash," responded Racener as he and the tabled laughed.

Friedman tabled his {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a pair of fours, and Paz-Gutierrez folded.

"You don't bet the nuts?" asked Chris Bjorin.
