Elizabeth Doubles Through Jacob

Alex Jacob: (X) (X) {7-Clubs} {2-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} (X)
Shannon Elizabeth: (X) (X) {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {J-Spades} (X)

Jacob completed and Elizabeth called. On fourth, Elizabeth bet and Jacob called. On fifth, Jacob bet and Elizabeth called. On sixth street, Elizabeth bet her last 1,400 and Jacob called.

Jacob had just a pair of sevens at the end of the hand with no low. Elizabeth showed ({A-Hearts}) ({A-Spades}) {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {J-Spades} ({7-Hearts}) for a better pair of aces. She doubled back up to 13,000, but has been on the short stack for most of the day.

Elizabeth Doesn't Get There

Chris Ferguson completed the bring-in, and Shannon Elizabeth and Michael McKenna both called. Action was checked around on fourth and fifth streets. On sixth, Elizabeth bet out, McKenna folded, and Ferguson called. Once again both players checked on seventh street.

Ferguson: ({Q-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}) {Q-Clubs} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} {K-Diamonds} ({A-Hearts})
Elizabeth: (X) (X) {2-Spades} {5-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {7-Clubs} (X)

Ferguson takes down the whole pot with queens up, as neither player made a low.

David's Chips

The controversial low half of the Benyamine/Frazen pot has been awarded to David Benyamine after reviewing the tapes. Those chips are back in play now.

Whose Chips?

[user66118]
[user66118]
Tim Frazin has gotten himself into a bit of a sticky situation. He and David Benyamine were involved in a pot that went to showdown. When the cards were turned up, Benyamine had {8-?} {7-?} {6-?} {5-?} {4-?}, a straight and an eight-seven low.

It was Frazin's turn, and he couldn't beat the high, but he did hold an eight-six low, good enough to win him the low half. As with every pot, the dealer was occupied preparing the pot for a split, awaiting the results of the showdown. Frazin didn't wait though, and he mucked his hand before the dealer had a chance to read it.

The floor was called over, and each player gave their side of the story. The high half was clearly awarded to David Benyamine. However, the low half of the pot is in poker limbo at this moment. The chips were placed in the dealer's rack while the surveillance team reviews the tapes to find out exactly what ruling to make. The chips are out of play pending a decision.

Interesting Dark Check

Allen Cunningham: (X) (X) {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {8-Hearts} {K-Clubs} (X)
Danny Dang: (X) (X) {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {4-Spades} (X)

Cunningham bet on third, fourth, and fifth. He was called each time. On sixth, Dang bet out and Cunningham called.

Cunningham then checked dark on seventh and Dang checked behind.

Cunningham turned over {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {6-Spades} for a full house and Dang mucked.

Jacob Scoops with Low Cards

[user66118]

Alex Jacob completes the ante showing the {A-Diamonds}, and Sirous Baghchehsaraie calls him with the {4-Diamonds} up. Jacob bets on fourth and fifth street, getting called both times. The hand is checked down on sixth and seventh.

Jacob: {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {A-Spades} {2-Diamonds} ({3-Clubs} {4-Spades} {6-Hearts})
Sirous: {4-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {7-Hearts} (X) (X) (X)

Jacob's two pair is good enough for the high, and he takes the low with his six-four.

The Dutchman Flying High... And Low

Marcel Luske: (X) (X) {4-Clubs} {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} (X)
Tex Barch: (X) (X) {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {10-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} (X)

Barch bet on third and fourth and Luske called. On fifth and sixth, Luske bet with Barch calling.

After receiving their down cards on seventh, Luske counted out a bet, but did so past his cards so the floor determined it a bet. Barch put out the chips for the call, as he thought it was a blind bet by Marcel. Luske was a little confused as he wanted to raise, but couldn't do so. The betting was over and the cards were shown.

Luske: {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs} {5-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {A-Clubs}

Barch mucked his hand when he saw that Luske had enough strength for both the high and the low.

Chad Survives All In

[user66118]
[user66118]
Norman Chad completed the bring-in with the {3-Clubs} in the door, and Alex Jung came along, showing the {6-Hearts}. Jung bet out when the {7-Spades} hit him on fourth street, and he continued the betting on each successive street. Chad called him down all the way, getting himself all in by the end.

Chad: ({A-Clubs} {2-Clubs}) {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {5-Diamonds} ({4-Spades})
Jung: ({7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}) {6-Hearts} {7-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs} ({7-Diamonds})

Both men nailed their money card on seventh street, Chad making his wheel and Jung spiking quads. Power hands on both sides, and the pot is chopped up.
