Brett Richey Gets Cold Decked, Eliminated
Brett Richey check-raised sixth street against his opponent and called the third bet from his opponent.
Richey: (X-X)-7
-8
-2-10
Opponent: (X-X)-2
-3
-7-K
Richey called off the last of his chips on the river when his opponent bet. Richey tabled a flush and an eight low as he showed the J-6-5, but his opponent had a straight flush with a better low as he showed the 4-5-6 to send Richey to the Rail.
Benefield Chops with Yamron
David Benefield and Bruce Yamron were tangled in a heads-up pot. Yamron check-called a bet on fourth and Benefield check-called a bet on fifth.
Benefield: (X-X)-5-6-K-6
Yamron: (X-X)-7-5-2-Q
On sixth street, Benefield bet and Yamron called. The same action happened on the river.
Benefield tabled the Ah-8d-4s and Yamron showed 8-7-2 Benefield took the low and Yamron took the high with two pair. Benefield is at 18,500 and Yamron is in much better shape with 49,000.
Tony G Sent Packing
Tony G got the last of his chips in the middle against Barry Greenstein on sixth street with their boards looking like this.
Tony G: (X-X)-A-8-K-J
Greenstein: (X-X)-4-5-4-2
The rivers were dealt and Greenstein showed the 2-2-6, giving him a six high straight, which obviously qualifies as a low. Tony G could only muster up the A-Q-5, for only a pair of aces and was eliminated on day 1. Greenstein, however, has climbed to 74,000.
