The river brought the K and Hastings bet again. Kargen folded and Hastings turned over A642. Lenaghan had AJ93, which was not enough to top the straight of his opponent. Hastings was up to 625,000 and Lenaghan was out in eighth place.

Jeffrey Lisandro Eliminated in Seventh Place ($42,442)

Brian Hastings raised preflop and Arthur Kargen called all in. Danny Fuhs also called and the board fell KQQ106 as both live players checked it down.

Fuhs mucked his hand after he saw Hastings’ 9632 and it was also enough to beat the A863 of Kargen. Hastings was up to a million thanks to a heart flush and Kargen was out in sixth place.

Viacheslav Zhukov Eliminated in Fifth Place ($72,809)

Christopher George raised preflop on the small blind and Viacheslav Zhukov called all in. No one else came along for the ride so the two players revealed their cards.

Zhukov: QQ84

Board: AK6J3

Levels 13 and 14- Razz and Stud

Jun 24, '07

RAZZ

Rolled Up Aces Wasted

Bart Hanson was dealt (A-A) A during the razz portion of this past hour, and facing a raise from Phil Hellmuth had to muck the rolled up aces. 

The Dragon Hits The Rail

All in after three cards, the short stacked David Pham was showing a jack, while Eli Elezra was showing a 2.  Elezra called and revealed the 5-3-2, which was ahead of Pham's J-5-8. Pham paired his jack, and when Elezra made a six low after five cards, Pham was drawing dead.  Elezra remains the clear chip leader, with around $500,000.

Vos Short on Chips and Energy

Mark Vos has appeared extremely under the weather all-day, and it seems it chip stack has suffered because of it.  Vos' stack was essentially halved by the second part of this level.

STUD

Pescatori Takes Brown Downtown

Max Pescatori won a sizable pot off of "Downtown" Chad Brown with a broadway straight.

Gazes Busts Berman

Lyle Berman was sent to the rail during the stud portion of this level.   Gazes started with (A x) Q against (7-7) K.   Gazes caught an ace on fifth street and despite never filling her flush, her aces held against Berman's hand and sent him to the rail.

Kaplan vs. Hellmuth

Gabe Kaplan and Phil Hellmuth played an interesting pot together.  With a board of A A K 5 for Kaplan and 7 7 K 9 for Hellmuth, Kaplan bet out as he had each previous street.  Hellmuth thought for a moment and called, saying, "Nice hand , Gabe."  Kaplan jokingly ribbed Hellmuth, saying, " You played this hand awful, and somebodies writing it down " as he gestured to the media.  After the seventh card was dealt, Kaplan again bet, and Hellmuth eventually called.  Kaplan revealed a K for aces up, prompting Hellmuth to reveal his (Q Q Q) for a full house.

Hour One - Three Bust Outs!

Jun 04, '07

Suck Out City

The fist half dozen hands went by rather quietly, and then things got rather interesting. Craig Crivello bet preflop and Bart Hanson called. Hanson had about $50,000 remaining at this point and he pushed all in, in the dark. The flop was dealt KQ9 and Crivello made the call. Crivello flipped over A10 and Hanson flipped over J2. Hanson nearly jumped off the stage when a spade was dealt on the turn, the 8. The A followed suit on the river and Hanson made a runner-runner flush draw to survive.

On the very next hand Andreas Krause moved all in and Matt Vengrin reraised all in over the top of Krause. Everyone else folded and Vengrin flipped over pocket nines. Krause showed AQ and the flop was dealt 832. The train to suck out city would leave the station one more time though, and 45 were dealt on the turn and river. Krause raised both his fists into the air and let out a barbaric yell in celebration of his runner-runner straight draw. This could be a long final table.

Matt Vengrin Eliminated in 9^th Place ($43,378)

For the third hand in a row a player pushed all in when Matt Vengrin reraised all in after Alex Jacob opened the pot for $150,000. Jacob called and Vengrin turned over his opponents’ initials in the form of AJ. Jacob, whose hair might have its own field of gravity at this point flipped over KQ. The board was dealt Q8349 and Vengrin was eliminated in ninth place. He will take home $43,378 in prize money and Jacob increased his chip lead on the hand.

Bart Hanson Eliminated in 8^th Place ($55,246)

Two more all in bets took place during the next three hands after Vengrin was eliminated, but they received no calls. Then Hanson pushed all in preflop before Krause moved all in over the top of him. Hanson turned over A10 and Krause showed a pair of ladies. The board was dealt J4424 and Krause won the pot with fours full of queens. Hanson is eliminated in eighth place and he will take home $55,246 in prize money.

Thad Smith Eliminated in 7^th Place ($73,661)

Only two more hands transpired before U.S. soldier Thad Smith moved all in preflop for $290,000. Crivello made the call and had Smith covered. Smith turned over KQ and Crivello flipped over pocket fives. The flop was dealt 995 and gave Crivello a full house. The turn and river cards were no help to Smith and he was eliminated in seventh place. Smith will take home $73,661 in prize money.

What a first hour here at the final table. After a plethora of all in bets and two energetic double ups we are already down to six players. Jacob still retains the chip lead after busting Vengrin in ninth place.
