Lennard First Out

Spoke too soon when saying we wouldn't see any eliminations for awhile. Even though it is limit, a sequence of unfortunate hands -- with the betting limits at 1,000/2,000 -- can spell doom quickly for those with below average stacks. And indeed, we've just seen our first player fall: Ken Lennard, over on Table #245.

Lennard had suffered a couple of quick losses in succession, moving his stack down around the 10,000-chip mark. Then came a hand in which Antonio Patelidas raised from late position, Lennard three-bet from the cutoff, Keith Ray and Steve Kim both called from the blinds, then Patelidas four-bet. Lennard, Ray, and Kim all called.

The flop came {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. Ray led out with a bet, Kim folded, Patelidas called, and Lennard called as well with his last remaining chips. The turn was the{9-Diamonds}. Ray bet again, and Patelidas called.

The river was the {7-Clubs}. Ray bet one more time, and this time Patelidas folded. Ray turned over {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the turned flush, and Lennard mucked, out in 8th at Table #245.

Ray now has 61,000.
