Mark Johns Eliminated in 23rd Place ($9,604)

Mark Johns - 23rd place
Mark Johns - 23rd place

Stud-8

The chips were all in on third street for a short-stacked Mark Johns. He was drawing live with {k-Clubs} {10-Spades} {8-Hearts} against Bill Chen's split fours, {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for Johns, his board bricked all the way to the river, where Chen drew a third four to make trips. That left Johns drawing dead. He's busto in 23rd place, leaving with $9,604 in prize money.

Alexandre Luneau Eliminated in 24th Place ($9,604)

Alexandre Luneau
Alexandre Luneau

Stud

Alexandre Luneau raised on third street and was called by Dan Heimiller.

Luneau had the lead on fourth street and bet again. Heimiller followed along to fifth street where Luneau bet. Heimiller raised and Luneau thought about it for a moment before making the call.

On sixth street, Luneau had the lead again and his bet was called by Heimiller. On seventh street, Luneau bet out, only to be forced with a raise by Heimiller. The call would put Luneau all in and after sitting in the tank for a bit, he made the call for his tournament life.

Luneau: {q-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts} -X- ({9-}{q-}{7-})
Heimiller: {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} -X- ({9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts})

Luneau couldn't beat Heimiller's full house and therefore was eliminated.

Johns Crippled

Stud-8

After finding an early double up, Mark Johns is now down to under 20,000 after losing a stud-8 pot against Bill Chen.

The players were already at seventh street when we saw Chen fire a bet and Johns consider his options. He finally announced a call.

Chen: ({3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}) / {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Johns: (X-X-X) / {J-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

A wheel for Chen was good for the high and the low to scoop the pot and leave Johns hanging on for dear life.

Seiver Doubles Through Wheeler

Stud

David Baker completed and Scott Seiver raised. Brent Wheeler re-raised and both opponents made the call.

On fourth, Seiver checked to Wheeler who fired a bet. Both Baker and Seiver made the call to go to fifth street. Seiver paired up but so did Wheeler to take the lead and he came out betting. Baker had seen enough but Seiver made the call.

On sixth street, Wheeler double-paired his board and he bet out, but Seiver raised to put his last chips into the middle. Wheeler made the call.

Baker: (X-X) / {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Seiver: ({A-Spades}{K-Hearts}) / {Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs} / ({8-Hearts})
Wheeler: ({Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}) / {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} / ({2-Spades})

Seiver made kings up which was good for the double up as Wheeler showed down three pair. Seiver doubles to 160,000 with Wheeler down to 180,000.

Full House for Aldridge

Stud

We caught the action in this hand on sixth street. Kenneth Aldridge was showing X-X {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Phil Ivey was showing X-X {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Aldridge check-raised Ivey's bet sending Ivey in the tank. Eventually Ivey folded and Aldridge flashed {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} for a full house.

Ivey has dropped to 125,000 and Aldridge moved up to 300,000.

Johns Doubles

Stud

The second-shortest stack to start the day was Mark Johns. He got it all in on third street against Bill Chen. Chen started with three diamonds, but didn't improve to anything more than a pair of deuces. That was no good against Johns' buried aces, which made trip aces on sixth street.

Johns now has 60,000 chips.

One Hand, One Down

Razz

Hughes: 4-3 / A-7-6-J / 10
Trigeorgis: 6-3 / 2-A-6-8 / 8

George Trigeorgis brought back the shortest stack to start the day. On the very first hand, Ryan Hughes completed an ace. Trigeorgis squeezed out 6-3-2 and called all in. Hughes had 4-3-A and the race was on. Hughes made a 7-6 by fifth street, leaving Trigeorgis drawing. He didn't get there and has been eliminated in 25th place.
