Shaun Deeb Left Short After Tangling with Viacheslav Zhukov; Busts Shortly After

Deeb showed {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. "No good," said Zhukov, showing {10-Hearts}{k-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for a Broadway straight.

Deeb was left very short, and although doubling up in the very next hand through Jon Turner, he bust shortly thereafter.

"This is Why I Play Online!"

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Grospellier: {x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{K-Clubs} / {x-}
Zinno: {x-}{x-} / {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} / {x-}

On fourth street, Anthony Zinno bet, and Bertrand Grospellier called. Grospellier picked up the betting lead on fifth, and he bet. Zinno called. On sixth, Zinno grabbed the betting lead back, and he bet. Grospellier called. Zinno bet again on seventh, and Grospellier called again.

Zinno showed {6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a pair of threes and a low. It was almost good, because Grospellier just about mucked his hand, then pulled it back and flipped it over, just to make sure he wasn't making a mistake. He showed his hand and did, in fact, have a better low than Zinno. That allowed him to take back at least half the pot.

"That's an embarrassment," Norman Chad said to Grospellier.

"This is why I play online!" Grospellier said. "They do everything for you! Can't make a mistake."

Everyone laughed as the two chopped the pot.

Konstantin Maslak Eliminated by Esther Taylor

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Maslak: {8-}{3-} / {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} / {x-}
Taylor: {a-Spades}{2-Hearts} / {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-} / {x-}

Konstantin Maslak raised on third street, and Esther Taylor reraised. Maslak called, then check-called a bet on fourth street. Taylor made open fours on fifth street. With Maslak short, Taylor bet, and the pair proceeded to get the rest of Maslak's chips into the middle.

Maslak picked up a low draw on sixth street, but Taylor drew the {7-Spades} on seventh street to give her a pair of fours and a seven-six low.

The Russian needed to find a pair bigger than Taylor's fours to grab half of the pot, but he drew the {4-Diamonds} and was eliminated.
