-- Mike Matusow on joining Jeffrey Lisandro's table.
Also at the table are notables Robert Williamson III, Ken Wong and Sandra Naujoks.
This time I witnessed him bet 5,000 on an
board, only to exhale with feeling and lay it down to an all in push from Thomas Marchese. Nevertheless, Lawrence is still in good shape with around 11,000 chips remaining.
Average Stack - 8,100*
Shaun Deeb - 11,200
Martin Smith - 11,500
Ken Corkery - 11,850
Xavier Laszcz - 14,900

and none of them seemed particularly in love with it, as they all checked. Come the
turn, though, Higgins bet out 700. Lawrence passed, but Marchese called it. What Marchese had will never be known, though, as both players checked the 
river and Marchese just mucked as Higgins turned over

and after a brief loud, "YES!" Laszcz stacked his 22,000 chips while the Honeyman hit the rail. He started to chat a little about the hand - "If he had the Ace, why bet...?""I'm happy for you," smiled Martin Smith.
"I'm a little bit jealous," admitted Shaun Deeb, and heads nodded in sympathetic agreement around the table.
"You don't want to bet.." continued Laszcz, before dispensing the advice, "You want to trap the Froggy..."
He's got 'em.

"Bloody hell," comments Ryan Fronda, "I get excited over ace-jack."
Lawrence may finally have suffered a downswing that he can't recover from, as he has just 650 remaining. Marchese, however, seems to be our new chip leader with at least 35,000 as the table breaks.

.Four players had limped into the pot preflop -- Obrestad one of them -- and all checked the flop. On the turn, everyone checked around to Annette who made the push into an 800 pot.
Action then fell to French pro Remy Biechel who made the call, as did Huseyin 'Sonofmyr' Yilmaz; the fourth player in the hand got out of the way.
Biechel and Yilmaz both checked the
river and the following hands were shown down:Obrestad:

Yilmaz scooped the pot, worth just over 7,500 and Annette will have to try her luck again on Monday.
