Yesterday, Lana Maier got a huge shot in the arm during a round of Stud Hi/Lo by scooping with a seven-high straight and a 6-low in a pot that went three-ways to the river. We can forgive her if she's feeling some deja vu because it just happened again.
We only caught the action on the river, where Maier was the first into the pot with a bet. James Van Alstyne and Phillip Marmorstein both called. Maier opened for a seven-high straight and six low; Van Alstyne called a "better 7" until he realized that Maier actually made a six. He then mucked and Marmorstein also mucked, giving Maier the scoop.
She is now vying with Shannor Shorr for the chip lead at around 400,000 chips.
A few moments after losing that big pot to Tad Jurgens, Lana Maier won almost all of the chips back after making a flush. She turned up () to rake in the pot and leave Jurgens shaking his head.
A very tight fold by Farzad Rouhani allows Alan Myerson to not have to put himself all in. The action started with Dustin Bryan completing the . Myerson then raised the , sending Rouhani into the tank for over two minutes. He stood up from his chair, counted down his own stack (about 150,000) and eyeballed Myerson's total stack (16,000 in the pot plus another 24,000). Rouhani finally folded what he said was buried kings! Bryan folded as well.
"I know you have to go all the way," said Rouhani. "And I know you can't be making a move on him." Myerson confirmed Rouhani's read by showing split aces.

Lana Maier just welcomed herself to her new table, Amazon 151, by taking a hand to showdown against Phillip Marmorstein and dragging the pot. We caught the action on sixth street, where Marmorstein bet the best board. Maier raised and was called.
On the river, Maier confirmed that Marmorstein checked before betting. Marmorstein called, then mucked when Maier declared an eight perfect with in the hole.
"I never used to call with a king," Maier said as she stacked Marmorstein's chips, "but I saw so many people doing it yesterday and winning pots. Now I know how it works -- run really good."

Kathy Raymond - 20th PlaceOmaha Hi/Lo:
We heard a call of "all in" from the dealer at Amazon 151. Kathy Raymond was all in preflop for her last 15,500 and was called by Sebastien Sabic (still not the chip leader, but at least his penmanship on his overnight ticket last night was much improved). The cards were quickly on their backs:
Raymond:

Everybody missed everything on a board of . Raymond finished with treys and deuces, no match for Sabic's tens and treys. She's off to the cage to collect $5,906.
Paul Evans raised from the button and Peter Gelencser called from the big blind. The flop came down . Gelencser checked and Evans bet. Gelencser then raised. Evans made the call.
The turn was the and Gelencser led with a bet. Evans made the call.
The river was the and Gelencser bet again. Evans announced a call and put the chips in. Gelencser showed him the and then Evans mucked his hand.
"So sick!" said Vanessa Rousso, popping out of her chair. She and Dustin Bryan checked a flop of . Bryan bet the turn and was called. Both again checked the river . At showdown, Bryan showed for a pair of threes. Rousso flashed and mucked.
"So nothing I could do," lamented Rousso. She doesn't seem much interested in the story Bryan is currently telling the table about his cross-country drive to Vegas with two friends.
