Hour Two
Jul 01, '07
From Low Stack to Respectability
Anthony Lellouche was on the short stack after the elimination of Eugene Ji. He then tripled up to survive, and a few hands later he doubled up to put him back in the ball game. On the double-up hand he showed a seven-low to defeat the nine-low of Jon Shoremen. Shoreman was the new low stack after the hand with $175,000. Lellouche now held $375,000.
Jon Shoreman Eliminated in Fourth Place ($57,383)
Jon Shoreman was now all in for his tournament life in a pot against Lenny Martin. Shoreman was all in before the first drawing round where he took two cards. Martin also drew two, and he did the same on the second round. Shoreman drew one card on the second round. Both players drew one card on the last round and then Martin showed an 8-6 low. Shoreman turned over an 8-7 low and he was eliminated from the tournament in fourth place. Shoreman took home $57,383 in prize money.
Leader Board
Here is how the chip counts looked after a dozen hands of action following the bustout of Shoreman:
Lenny Martin: $1,000,000
Rafi Amit: $395,000
Anthony Lellouche: $220,000
Poker Face
Rafi Amit was all in on one hand and Lenny Martin went into the tank. For someone who was all in at that point, Amit had a constant smirk across his face. It may have induced Martin to call. Amit turned up an eight-low to survive, while Martin could only muster an ace-low.
Break Time
The players then went on a 15 minute break, and Amit ran over to the $10,000 pot-limit Omaha world championship to play a few hands, in between his quest for a second bracelet at this triple draw event.
Break Add-On
The players have decided to add an additional 20 minutes to their current break.

Eugene Ji Eliminated in Fifth Place ($41,504)
