Ladies Works for Lisandro

Hold'em

Bill Chen, the new chip leader, raised from early position pre-flop. Action passed to Jeff Lisandro, who put in the third bet. Everyone else folded back to Chen, who called to a flop of {9-Spades} {7-Spades} {9-Hearts}. Chen check-called a bet there, check-called another on the {2-Diamonds} turn, and then checked the {q-Diamonds} river. Lisandro fired one last bet. Chen, shaking his head, called and then mucked when Lisnadro showed {q-Hearts} {q-Spades} for queens full of nines.

Chad Brown Eliminated in 8th Place ($29,406)

Chad Brown - 8th place

Hold'em

Finally, a short-stacked player has busted off of this star-studded final table. Chad Brown raised from the cutoff pre-flop. Bill Chen, sitting in the big blind, was the only caller.

Both players checked the {5-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {4-Spades} flop. When the turn came a small heart, {2-Hearts}, Chen led out. Brown raised all in for 87,000 total and Chen quickly called. It turned out that both players were drawing. Chen had a straight draw with {7-Spades} {6-Clubs}; Brown had the best hand and a flush draw with {j-Hearts} {9-Hearts}. Neither player made their main draw, but Chen paired sixes on the river with the {6-Diamonds} to collect the pot.

Brown leaves with $29,406.

Juanda Can't Get It in Gear

Omaha-8

John Juanda came into this final table as the chip leader, but his stack is down to about 310,000 -- almost 600,000 off its high point -- after losing a small pot to Dave Baker. Baker raised in early position pre-flop, with action folding to Juanda's big blind. He called, and then check-called a bet on a flop of {3-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {q-Diamonds}. Juanda also checked the {6-Clubs} turn, then folded to another bet by Baker.

Baker has about 380,000 chips now.

Ivey Biding His Time

Omaha-8

After going on a tear about an hour ago, Phil Ivey has been sitting back for roughly the last 30 minutes of play. He limped into an omaha pot from middle position and took a flop of {4-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {a-Spades} with only the blinds, John Juanda and Jeff Lisandro. Juanda and Lisandro checked to Ivey, then folded for a single bet.

Ivey has about 720,000 in chips.

Hahn Rivers Two Chops

Omaha-8

Twice, Albert Hahn ran into a flopped set. Twice, he rivered a low to chop the pot. First he raised pre-flop and was called by Jeff Lisandro in the small blind. Lisandro bet the {7-Clubs} {k-Clubs} {2-Clubs} flop and the {9-Spades} turn. When Hahn called each time and the river came {5-Spades}, Lisandro slowed down. He checked, then called one bet with {k-Spades} {k-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}, a set of kings. Hahn showed {a-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} for the nut low and a pair of sevens. Chop it up.

The next hand, Hahn again raised from middle position. He was called by Phil Ivey out of the big blind. Ivey got in a check-raise on a flop of {8-Diamonds} {k-Clubs} {3-Spades}, then bet the {10-Clubs} turn and the {6-Diamonds} river. Hahn called every time, tabling {a-Spades} {a-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} for a pair of aces and the second nut-low. Ivey turned over {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {a-Hearts} {6-Hearts} for a set of treys. Again, chop it up.

Chen Extends His Lead

Omaha-8

In a battle of the blinds, small blind Phil Ivey raised pre-flop and was called by the big blind and chip leader, Bill Chen. Ivey fired out a bet after the flop came down {a-Clubs} {k-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} and fired again on the {q-Clubs} turn. Chen called each time to see the {j-Spades} hit the river. Both players checked. Chen showed down two pair, aces and queens, {a-Diamonds} {q-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}, to scoop the pot.

Chen is now sitting behind 1,350,000. Ivey is hanging tough at about 580,000.

Players Slog Their Way Through Razz

We're in the razz round now, probably the least-favorite round of most H.O.R.S.E players. The first five hands have already been played, with the low card completing the bring-in and taking down the pot on third street each time.
