Ming Reslock Eliminated in 15th Place ($8,339)

Ming Reslock - 15th place
Ming Reslock - 15th place

Stud

Reslock: (X) (X) / {4-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {4-Spades} {4-Clubs} / (X)
Awad: (X) (X) / {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {J-Clubs} / (X)
Cahail: (X) (X) / {9-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {5-Spades} {J-Diamonds} / (X)

We joined the action on fourth street as Cahail bet his king-nine, and Reslock raised to two bets. Awad called both bets, and Cahail flicked in the extra 8,000 as well.

On fifth street, Reslock bet all in for her last 6,000, and both opponents called. Cahail got bets in on sixth and seventh streets, with Awad calling both.

Cahail had {J-Spades} {9-Hearts} (X) for two pair, so Reslock's trips were safe on that side. Awad, however, turned up {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} for the straight, and Reslock would need some help from her final card to stay alive. She shook her head and flipped over {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, then her final card, the useless {10-Clubs}.

Unable to improve her trip fours, Ming Reslock has been sent to the exit in 15th place.

Johannes Steindl Eliminated in 16th Place ($8,339)

Johannes Steindl - 16th place
Johannes Steindl - 16th place

Stud

Mizrachi: {j-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} / {j-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {4-Spades} / {3-Diamonds}
Steindl: {a-Hearts} {2-Spades} / {q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {5-Diamonds} / {8-Hearts}

A short-stacked Johannes Steindl doubled up once during the second row, but his second attempt ended in his elimination. Robert Mizrachi completed the bring-in directly to Steindl's right. Steindl squeezed out his hand and then raised, folding all other players back to Mizrachi. He put in another raise, which was enough to get Steindl all in.

Steindl's board came about as ragged as it could possibly come. He was drawing dead going into the river after Mizrachi made jacks and treys. Just to add insult to injury, Steindl drew a complete blank to finish his last hand with an ace-high pai gow. He's been eliminted in 16th place and will leave with $8,349.

Reslock Does Too

Omaha 8/b

Ming Reslock raised, and Konstantin Puchkov reraised. Reslock had 34,000 total chips to start the hand, and she went ahead and got them all in there preflop. Cards up, lady and gent:

Reslock: {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {2-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}
Puchkov: {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {8-Clubs}

The board ran out just fine for Reslock, coming {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. Kings full of aces is the best hand, and Reslock doubles her way back to 80,000.

Lennaard Doubles Up

Omaha 8/b

Looks like Ken Lennaard has intentions to stick around for a while. He just doubled up in Omaha Hi/Lo, getting all in on a flop of {3-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {a-Clubs} against Allen Kessler. Lennaard showed a pair of aces and a low draw, {a-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {q-Clubs}; Kessler tabled {2-Clubs} {4-Spades} {5-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} for a big straight-and-low draw. Kessler missed everything when the turn and river were running jacks.

After the hand, Lennaard asked floor supervisor Robbie Thompson to un-register Lennaard rom the $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em event starting in fifteen minuets.

James Darnaby Eliminated in 18th Place ($6,877)

James Darnaby - 18th place
James Darnaby - 18th place

Stud 8/b

James Darnaby completed with the {Q-Diamonds} showing, and Hani Awad called with the {9-Clubs}. Blake Cahail called with the {8-Clubs}, but he'd duck out on fourth street.

Darnaby: (X) (X) / {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {K-Spades} / (X)
Awad: (X) (X) / {9-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {6-Spades} / (X)

On fourth street, Darnaby's bet was quickly called, and he said, "Eighteen," to tell Awad how many chips he had left. On fifth street, Darbaby bet the 16,000, and Awad put him all in.

Darnaby turned up {Q-Spades} {4-Diamonds}, having made two pair by the time the money went in. Awad tabled {A-Spades} {4-Spades}, and he plucked a lucky {A-Clubs} on seventh street to improve to trip aces. Darnaby just shook his head and flipped over his last card, a useless {6-Diamonds}.

That's the end of Darnaby's day, out the door in 18th place.

Cliff Josephy Eliminated in 19th Place ($6,877)

Cliff Josephy - 19th place
Cliff Josephy - 19th place

Stud 8/b

Revesz: (X) (X) / {2-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} / (X)
Han: (X) (X) / {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {j-Hearts} FOLD
Josephy: (X) (X) / {a-Spades} {10-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {7-Spades} / (X)

A big three-way pot of Stud Hi/Lo drew our attention to Cliff Josephy's table. The action was already to sixth street with a large number of chips in the middle. Andrew Revesz showed an open pair of nines and had the betting lead. His bet folded short-stacked Kyung Han, but Josephy called to the river.

At the river, Revesz checked to Josephy. Josephy fired out a bet, leaving himself about 10,000 behind. Revesz then check-raised, causing Josephy to look like he wanted to vomit. He seemed to sense he had blundered, but with so few chips left and so many in the pot Josephy probably didn't have much choice in his action. He called.

"Full house, no low," said Revesz. He opened {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} for nines full of deuces. Josephy appeared to table {a-} {5-} {j-} for aces and fives with no low. The whole pot went to Revesz, allowing him to climb to 410,000 in chips. Josephy, however, is out in 19th place.

Steindl Slipping Back

Razz

The up cards were already out on board when we found this action.

Johannes Steindl: (X) (X) / {10-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {3-Spades} / (X)
Konstantin Puchkov: (X) (X) / {8-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {6-Spades} {A-Hearts} / (X)

There was a pot of more than 100,000 chips in the middle when we joined the pot on sixth street, and Steindl fired out a bet. Puchkov promptly raised, and Steindl tank-called. Puchkov got one more bet in on seventh street, and Steindl reluctantly called.

Puchkov turned up {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {9-Spades} for kings up, and Stendl shook his head, looking a bit frustrated. After staring at his cards for another few seconds, he flopped them into the muck, dropping his stack down to 85,000.
