Todd Brunson just got moved to a table with Annie Duke, and it wasn't long before they got tangled up in a pot. With the {A-Diamonds} showing, Annie raised the bring-in. Brunson and a player in seat four called.

Brunson: ({4-Diamonds} {5-Spades}) {7-Clubs} {2-Spades} {3-Clubs} {9-Hearts} ({9-Diamonds})
Seat 4: (X) (X) {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {J-Spades} (X)
Duke: (X) (X) {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {6-Spades} (X)

On fourth street, Annie Duke bet out, and both opponents called. She bet again on fifth, but Brunson raised, having made his seven-five low. Seat four and Duke both called. When Annie hit her black six on sixth street, she again led out, and did so again on seventh. Brunson showed the winning hand though, a pair of nines with that seven-five low.

Sabyl Cohen-Landrum and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson recently chopped a pot in a heads-up showdown. Jesus completed the bring-in, and Cohen-Landrum made the call.

Ferguson: ({2-Spades} {4-Hearts}) {A-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {A-Spades} ({Q-Diamonds})
Cohen-Landrum: ({10-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}) {2-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {10-Clubs} ({8-Hearts})

Cohen-Landrum bet the whole way before check-calling a seventh street bet from Jesus. When the hands were turned up, Cohen-Landrum held the high with tens up, and Ferguson took the low with an eight-six.

Tom Schneider couldn't get much going today. On fourth street, Schneider was all in with his small stack.

Schneider: ({6-Hearts}) ({6-Diamonds}) {Q-Hearts} {4-Spades} {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}
Opponent: ({7-Clubs}) ({7-Diamonds}) {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {2-Spades}

Schneider's opponent made a flush and Schneider couldn't pull out a full house or a low to win or chop the pot. He was eliminated from today's tournament.

Raymer and Arieh Chop One Out

Josh Arieh and Greg Raymer are seated together, and they just teamed up to knock out a player. Here are the winning cards that played:

Arieh: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {3-Spades} {3-Clubs}
Raymer: {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {A-Hearts}

Their third opponent in the pot had a Broadway straight, but it wasn't good enough, and he sends half his chips to Arieh and Raymer each.

Mike Wattel brought it in raising with the {A-Clubs} showing, and he got two takers, including James Van Alstyne. Wattel bet it the whole way, and got called each time by both players. Van Alstyne took one bet off when he folded on seventh street.

Seat 1: (X) (X) {J-Spades} {8-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {9-Hearts} (X)
Van Alstyne: (X) (X) {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} (X)
Wattel: {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

Mike Wattel took both halves of the pot, aces up for the high and a seven low on the other side.
