Queens Over Jacks

Hasan Habib
Hasan Habib
Hasan Habib recently got involved with Frank Thompson, and it cost him a good many chips.

Thompson completed with the {3-Clubs}, and Habib called with the {7-Spades}. Through sixth street, Thompson led the betting and Habib called all the way down. When the hand was over, the cards were shown down.

Habib: ({A-Spades} {K-Spades}) {7-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {3-Diamonds} ({Q-Hearts})
Thompson: ({5-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}) {3-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs} ({9-Diamonds})

Thompson's pair of queens is good enough, and he rakes in a nice pot. He has chipped up to 75,000, while Habib has slipped back to 36,000.

Barry Greenstein: (X) (X) {5-Spades} {4-Clubs} {6-Spades}
Kirill Gerasimov: (X) (X) {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

Greenstein completed on third street and Gerasimov raised. Greenstein called.

On fourth street, Gerasimov checked and Greenstein bet. Gerasimov called.

On fifth street, Gerasimov checked and Greenstein bet again. This time Gerasimov folded and handed the pot over the Greenstein.

Greenstein is now up to 27,000 and looking to climb even higher.

So Long, Farzad Well

Farzad Bonyadi was all in with kings up but ran into Sebastian Ruthenberg's aces up, signaling the end for Freddy. Ruthenberg meanwhile has chipped up close to the century mark, sitting with 93,000.

Andrew Brown
Andrew Brown
Andrew Brown: (X) (X) {5-Hearts} {K-Spades} {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds} (X)
Larry Reynolds: (X) (X) {4-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} (X)
Farzad Rouhani: (X) (X) {8-Spades} {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} (X)

On third street, Reynolds brought in, Rouhani raised, Brown called, and then Reynolds called. On fourth, everyone checked around.

On fifth street, Brown bet and both Reynolds and Rouhani called. On sixth, Brown bet, Reynolds called, Rouhani raised, Brown reraised all in, Reynolds called all in, and Rouhani called.

Brown: ({2-Clubs}) ({2-Diamonds}) ({A-Clubs}) {5-Hearts} {K-Spades} {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds}
Reynolds: ({3-Clubs}) ({8-Diamonds}) ({4-Hearts}) {4-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts}
Rouhani: ({5-Spades}) ({7-Diamonds}) ({2-Spades}) {8-Spades} {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

Brown's two pair wasn't better than Rouhani's straight for the high. Reynolds took the low.

Brown was eliminated.

Jesus Rising

Chris Ferguson
Chris Ferguson
Chris Ferguson has chipped up a little bit in the moments following the dinner break. Recently, he was in a three-way pot with Robert Mizrachi and Sebastian Ruthenberg. Ferguson completed the bring-in with the {3-Spades} up, and both opponents called. His next card was the {5-Clubs}. Again, he bet and got both callers. On fifth street, he picked up the {A-Spades}. He bet once more, and this time both of his opponents ducked out, shipping the pot to Jesus without a contest. He has worked his way up to 78,000.

Reason to Be Grumpy

Ron "Grumpy" Ware got tangled up with Frank Thompson, and it cost him his tournament life. Ware got all in on third street after a string of raises and reraises. The players' cards ran out as follows:

Ware: {A-?} {2-?} {2-?} {6-?} {4-?} {9-?} {K-?}
Thompson: {K-?} {K-?} {5-?} {7-?} {8-?} {K-?} {9-?}

Ware was unable to come from behind to take either half of the pot, and he is eliminated just before the dinner break.
