Thorpe and Salama Carve Up Lipiner

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

A massive three-way Badacey pot just left Jason Lipiner on fumes.

Lipiner, Mike Thorpe, and Hisham Salama each were basically all-in, and only Lipiner drew one, while his opponents patted. Lipiner patted after his first draw and the cards were revealed.

Mike Thorpe: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Hisham Salama: {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Jason Lipiner: {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Thorpe won half the pot with a six low, while Salama took the other half with a five badugi. Lipiner busted shortly after.

Friedman Among the Big Stacks

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

NL 2-7 Single Draw

David Moskowitz revealed his busted superior draw for just a second as Adam Friedman dragged in the pot with his {8-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{2-} to reduce the field further. Moments later, James Mcwhorter departed from another table as the casualties in the money have continued to pour in.

Salama Doubles

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Badacy

Hisham Salama told the dealer "you have given me the same card three times in a row" after he discarded. However, he ended up with a seven-five in the end while Bradley Jensen couldn't beat that and briefly showed his cards only before sending them into the muck.

Elezra's Heater Continues; Tops 400,000

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

On a {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop, Eli Elezra led into Ryan Hughes for 13,000 and Hughes called.

Elezra kept firing on the {q-Clubs} turn, this time for 35,000. Again Hughes called.

The dealer placed the {j-Clubs} on the river and once more, Elezra bet, this time for 18,000.

Hughes couldn't call the bet and Elezra dragged another big pot to send his stack over the 400,000 mark.

Dealt Quads for Elezra; Salazar Busts After the Bubble

5 Card Draw

Amnon Filippi was the first player out in the money and Hernan Salazar followed shortly after. A short-stacked Salazar was already at risk and got called by Kevin Gerhart and Eli Elezra. Salazar discarded three while Gerhart and Elezra took one card each.

Elezra then bet 42,000 and Gerhart moved all-in, earning a snap-call by Elezra within a fraction of a second.

"Quads!" Elezra immediately announced and rolled over the {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} before then adding "sorry Hernan, I got dealt quads with a jack". The cards of Salazar were almost instantly mucked and Gerhart exposed {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for two pair and paid off the 120,000 of Elezra.

Andino Busts Matsumoto on the Bubble

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Badeucey

David Matsumoto put the remainder of his chips in against Carlos Andino in a hand of Badeucey, and after Andino drew one and patted, Andino's {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} with a badugi scooped the pot and burst the bubble.

The remaining 47 players will all receive at least $2,400.

Hand-For-Hand Mode Activated

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Phuong Tran busted in an Omaha Hi-Lo hand and Christopher Gallagher followed to reduce the field to the final 48 contenders. This means the tournament will continue hand for hand on the money bubble.

Henson Gets a Bluff Through

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Amnon Filippi: {x-}{x-} / {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} fold
Ray Henson: {x-}{x-} / {9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} / {x-}
David Solomon: {x-}{x-} / {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs} / {x-}

David Solomon bet sixth street and was check-called by Ray Henson while Amnon Filippi folded. Henson then bet seventh and Solomon folded to get shown {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} by Henson.

Nathan Gamble

Nathan Gamble entered Day 2 of the WSOP Event #7: $1,500 Dealers Choice 6-Handed with the chip lead, and it really shouldn't be surprising. As he told PokerNews in an interview, he is skilled in all 19 poker variants spread during the tournament.

"At this point, I consider (all the games) my strength," Gamble said. "I've played an $80/$160 mix the last two years at Resorts World (in Atlantic City), so I'm comfortable in every single game there is."
