Chris Anzivino Crackes Aces

Chris Anzivino has just taken down a monster pot to storm up the chip count leaderboard. We caught the action on the turn on a board of {7-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} with Anzivino all in against his opponent who tanked for a long time before making the call with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. However he was in bad shape as Anzivino flipped {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for top set.

The river was the {4-Spades} and Anzivino jumps to over 80,000 chips!

Raj Vohra, during Event #21
Raj Vohra has just been eliminated by Gary Clark. The pot was about 12,000 on the flop, with the rest of the chips going all in on a jack-high flop. It was a classic cold-deck situation with Vohra's pocket kings running into the pocket aces of Clark. There was no miracle for Vohra and he is left heading to the rail.

"It was all skill!" joked Clark as he now sits with close to 80,000 chips.

Mizzi Sends Opponent in Tizzy

Preflop, Sorel Mizzi raised to 850 and his opponent raised to 2,150. Mizzi then went into the tank. After thinking for a couple of minutes the folllowing went down:

Mizzi: "Will you fold if I show?"

Opponent: "No."

Mizzi: "If I fold, and I show you what I fold, will you show?"

Opponent: "Nope"

Finally the clock was called on Mizzi and as the floor was counting down, Mizzi said, "I'm all-in." Mizzi's opponent called.

Mizzi showed {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and his opponent showed {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}.

Board: {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}

Queens held and Mizzi is up to 56,000.

Suck/Re-Suck

Keith Ferera got his chips all in before the flop, holding {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} vs. his opponent's {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. Ferera's opponent stood up, defeated and waited for his fate. When the flop came down {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs} he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down, ready to do business again. The turn was the {3-Spades}, but the {A-Clubs} peeled off on the river, giving the pot to Ferera. Time for our boy with the jacks to stand up and head for the rail.

After the hand, Ferera was up to 72,000.

The Song Remains the Same

David Singer just can't stop accumulating chips. On this latest hand Singer opened for 900 and the small blind called. The flop was {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}. The small blind checked, Singer bet 1,800 and the small blind called. The turn was the {2-Hearts}. The small blind shoved all in for 4,825 and Singer called. Singer turned up {A-Spades} {3-Spades} to the small blind's {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Singer dragged the pot with a straight, pushing his stack up to 104,000.

The Kevin O'Donnell Show Canceled

Probably will not end up on 'The View'
Probably will not end up on 'The View'
Kevin O'Donnell was all in against another opponent. O'Donnell held {7-?} {7-?} and his opponent held {K-?} {K-?}. The flop of {K-?} {J-?} {J-?} left O'Donnell needing running sevens to avoid cancellation. A turn {10-?} left O'Donnell drawing dead. The river {4-?} became irrelevant and The Kevin O'Donnell show is canceled.

Jeffrey Lisandro Eliminated

Jeffrey Lisandro
Jeffrey Lisandro just doubled his short stack only to be eliminated a few hands later.

Down to 3,000, Lisandro got his money in before the flop. It was a race situation between Lisandro's {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} and his opponent's {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} which ended with Lisandro flopping a set and doubling to just over 6,000.

On a subsequent hand, Lisandro got it all in preflop again, this time with {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} from the button, but ran into the small blind's {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}. The small blind flopped a set, Lisandro couldn't hit running cards to catch him, and he hit the rail.

Paul-Ambrose Rivered

Steve Paul-Ambrose

Steve Paul-Ambrose had his opponent all in preflop with Paul-Ambrose's pocket kings well in front of his opponent's pocket sevens.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and his opponent spikes a miraculous two-outer on the river to double up as Paul-Ambrose falls to 21,000.
