Shak Eliminated by Johnson

Level 15

Dan Shak

Razz

Marco Johnson almost mucked his cards but since it was an all-in showdown, the nine-six-four was still showing. His opponent Dan Shak on the other side of the table also had a nine-six but only made a five as the third card to hit the rail soon after returning from the break.

Perry Loses A Bunch to Buckley

Level 15

Seven Card Stud

DJ Buckley: {x-}{x-} / {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} / {x-}
Sean Perry: {x-}{x-} / {4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} / {x-}

After checking fifth street, Sean Perry bet sixth with a pair of fours and was called by DJ Buckley. Perry also bet seventh and Buckley instantly called to get shown the {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} by Perry for sixes and fours. He had that beat with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for the superior aces up and dragged in the pot.

"I have no idea what I was doing in that hand," Perry admitted.

Vitch Triples up Against Negreanu and Katz

Level 15

Stud Hi-Lo

Chris Vitch: {x-}{x-}/{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}/{x-}
Daniel Negreanu: {x-}{x-}/{6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts}/{x-}
Cary Katz: {x-}{x-}/{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}/{x-}

The action was discovered as Chris Vitch pushed his last few thousand chips across the betting line on sixth street and was all in. Both Katz and Negreanu called the bet.

Katz and Negreanu both checked seventh street. Vitch's two-pair showing was good enough for the scoop and a triple up.
