Big Hands:
Top Set Got the Help Bottom Set Needed
It was a tough way to get bounced from the tournament, but Robert Przygoda didn't have much choice. After a pre-flop raise, Przygoda and Zac Fellows saw a flop of J
74
. Betting continued, and when the 5 came on the turn, both players proceeded to raise and reraise until Przygoda was all-in. Fellows turned over JJ
for top set while Przygoda held 44 for bottom set. Przygoda was still alive thanks to the flush draw, but the J
on the river gave Fellows quads and sent Przygoda out in 32nd place.
Lucky Sevens -- Once
Just after blinds increased to 2000/4000, Terrence Chen raised from early position and Zac Fellows made the call from the big blind. The flop came K74. Fellows checked, then put in a raise to Chen's bet. The 10 on the turn brought Fellows out betting, and Chen called. The 7 on the river brought the same action and Fellows turned over 75, having flopped middle pair, turned the flush draw, then spiking trips.
Lucky Sevens -- Twice
Steve Shkolnik raised from the button, was reraised by Gary Bogdanski, then raised again. The flop came 777. Shkolnik bet when action was checked to him, and the 4 hit the turn. The same action greeted the 9 on the river, before Shkolnik flipped over AA for the flopped fullhouse.
Ace-King No Good
Jim Schultz called from the cut-off and Fellows raised from the button, drawing a call from the small blind and Schultz. The flop came 832, and Fellows was called by Schultz for 4000. The Q on the turn was checked, as was the Q on the river, and Schultz showed 108 for two pair. Fellows mucked AK.
Bergerson Saved By River
David Bergerson was seemingly headed home, all-in on a board that began Q96, followed by the 10 on the turn. But the A on the river hit Bergerson's AK to keep him alive.
Jonathan Frutkin was eliminated in 33rd place when his queen-10 fell to the queen-jack of Ali Esbumi after a board of 10-7-5-4-4.
