Chad Brown Has an Admirer

Railer: "Hey Chad, good luck!"

Chad Brown: "Thanks."

Railer: "Hey, are you wearing armour?"

Brown: "What?"

Railer: "It's just the way the light hits your chest, it looked like you were wearing armour."

Brown: "What?"

Savage Saved

Savage knows the highs and lows
Savage knows the highs and lows
A three-way pot, and Matt Savage was all in on 7th street; Chad Brown raised and William Kohler called.

They flipped their cards and Savage was about a hair's breadth away from mucking and making his exit before he realized he'd won the low to chop the pot with Kohler. Oops.

Savage: {J-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {A-Clubs} ({7-Spades} {4-Hearts} {Q-Spades})
Brown: {3-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {8-Spades} {6-Spades} ({7-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {3-Spades})
Kohler: {2-Hearts} {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} ({A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {K-Clubs})

Smoking Kohler

An enormous three-way hand saw the pot swell to over 300,000 by the time William Kohler bet out on 7th. Chad Brown stared at his down cards a moment before folding, but David Halpern called.

"Three jacks," announced Kohler and duly flipped his hand over. With a slightly sad chuckle, Halpern mucked.

Halpern: {8-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} (muck)
Brown: {7-Spades} {9-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {4-Clubs} (fold)
Kohler: {A-Hearts} {3-Spades} {10-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} ({J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {5-Hearts})

Everyone's On a Boat

Zak Gilbert
Zak Gilbert
Some dreadful misfortune for Zak Gilbert, when his rather nice-looking full house looked rather less nice next to David Halpern's bigger full house. Ouch.

Halpern up to a massive 650,000, Gilbert back down to 160,000.

Gilbert: {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds} ({7-Hearts} {3-Spades} {4-Spades})
Halpern: {10-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades} ({6-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {J-Clubs})

Swinford Takes a Dive

David Halpern bet on every street and Brian Swinford called all the way down until 7th street, when he decided that whatever his down cards were, they weren't good enough to call.

Halpern: {J-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} (showed {J-Clubs} {8-Diamonds})
Swinford: {3-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {10-Spades} {Q-Clubs} (mucked with force)

Swinford is down to 160,000.

How Are They Looking?

Mainly like a bunch of guys playing cards, but these are the current standings:

Halpern: 370,000
Stern: 70,000
Brown: 460,000
Swinford: 270,000
Savage: 160,000
Kohler: 425,000
Gilbert: 265,000
