2009 World Series of Poker
Event 55 - $2,500 Limit Deuce to Seven Triple Draw
Day: 3
Chip leader Masayoshi Tanaka has about thirty big bets to work with.
One card was good enough for both on the next round, and they both checked. Each needed one more card on the final round, and Libson check-called a bet this time. Schneider tabled 8-7-6-4-2, and Libson couldn't beat an eighty-seven.
Libson - 310,000
Schneider - 200,000
On the next round, Rodman took just one card and bet again. Mosseri needed the same two cards, and he called after his swap.
Both players checked on the end as Mosseri patted and Rodman drew one. Mosseri tabled J-8-6-5-4, and Rodman had nothing to beat the jack low.
Rodman - 240,000
Mosseri - 395,000
Masayoshi Tanaka just took down a small pot, and the happy couple stood up and cheered loudly. Tanaka went over to shake hands and hug the bride, and it looks like they may be friends of the player.
Only in Vegas can a Wednesday wedding be followed by a honeymoon in the Amazon Room.

Schneider would pat the next round while Juanda traded in two more cards and called another bet. On the last draw, Juanda drew one card and both players checked. Schneider had the winner with her eighty-seven low.
Schneider - 260,000
Juanda - 148,000
Blair Rodman - 418,000
Abe Mosseri - 342,000
Masayoshi Tanaka - 325,000
John Juanda - 220,000
Julie Schneider - 207,000
For now, the featured table lays dormant and dimly lit.
Each player drew one card on the next round, and nobody liked the one they got. They all checked, and everyone traded their card in one more time before Rodman got in a bet. Tanaka folded, but Lord made one last call.
Rodman showed down his 8-7-5-3-2, and Lord couldn't match it. He mucked his cards, leaving himself just a few chips to work with.
Rodman - 430,000
Lord - 35,000

On the next hand, Lord raised again, and Abe Mosseri was the caller this time. Lord would draw one card the whole way while Mosseri took two cards before patting twice. On the first draw, Mosseri check-called a bet. On the second, Mosseri bet out, and Lord went into the tank before calling all in for 11,000.
After the final draw, Mosseri turned over 8-7-6-3-2, and that was the winner. He's dealt the final blow to Kris Lord who exits in 7th place.
On the next round, Mosseri drew just one, and Lord discarded two before calling another bet. Both men drew a single card on the final round, and Lord called one final bet.
Mosseri turned over J-5-4-3-2, having only managed a jack on his final discard. No matter though; Lord couldn't beat it and he returned his cards to the muck.
Lord - 85,000
Mosseri - 310,000
