John Racener
John Racener

5 Card Draw

In a preflop all-in contest, John Racener ended up at risk against Anatolii Zyrin. He tabled the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for kings and eights while Zyrin had the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for a set of jacks. Racener drew the {9-Clubs} as his last card and was eliminated while Zyrin's {8-Spades}{x-} were exposed for just a short moment.

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Big O Hi-Lo

Bets of 5,400 and 12,500 were already placed on a board of {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and it was then Tony Hartmann who bet the river for 20,000 out of the big blind. Michael Chow was in the tank on the button and eventually released his cards into the muck.

Turner Gets Scooped by Mizrachi

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Badacey

After taking one card each after the second draw, Robert Mizrachi bet and Jon Turner called. Mizrachi then patted and Turner took one for the former to bet and the latter to call.

"One two," Mizrachi announced and showed the {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Spades} to win the entire pot, as Turner mucked.

Monnette Gets Scooped by Barbero

Stud Hi-Lo

Nacho Barbero: {x-}{x-} / {2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {x-}
John Monnette: {x-}{x-} / {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} / {x-}

Nacho Barbero bet sixth street to get check-called by John Monnette, who then check-raised seventh and Barbero called. Monnette tabled the {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a flush and a low but Barbero had {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for the superior flush and a better low. That hand left Monnette on a short stack while Barbero continued his rise on the leaderboard.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

On the river of a board {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, Kevin Gerhart jammed for 26,400 when Mike Gorodinsky bet 13,000. Gerhart got through with it as Gorodinsky tossed his cards into the muck.

Mueller Among Latest Casualties

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Greg Mueller: {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} / {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} / {7-Spades}
Benny Glaser: {a-}{2-}{3-}{6-}{8-}{8-} / {x-}

Greg Mueller was all-in with a short stack and all but made a pair of sevens against Benny Glaser, who ended up with a lot and pair of eights to scoop it all.

Several other short stacks have been eliminated in quick succession including Jerry Wong and Ryan Hughes.

Saltzburg Remains in Contention

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Badugi

Down to just 10,600, Michael Saltzburg was all-in and patted on each draw. Adam Friedman took one card each and Saltzburg then tabled the {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a Queen-Dugi. Friedman briefly flashed his cards and appeared to have made an inferior King-Dugi eventually.
