Luneau Expedition

Level 12 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jim Paluszek: {x-}{x-} / {7-Spades}{A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} / {x-}
Alexandre Luneau: {x-}{x-} / {10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} / {x-}

Alexandre Luneau made it two bets after Jim Paluszek had completed on third. Paluszek led out on fourth but once both players made open pairs it was Luneau who fired every street, Paluszek finally folding on seventh as the Frenchman who hit a one-outer yesterday to stay in this tournament picked up another pot.

Bear Doubles Through Master

We just found Barry Greenstein all in and at risk against Men Nguyen. Barry held a pair of 10s plus a flush draw and inside straight draw going into seventh while Nguyen had two pair, sevens and fives. Greenstein squeezed a three to give him two pair, 10s up. Nguyen couldn’t fill up as he squeezed the {A-Hearts} which gave Greenstein the double up and avoided him having to sign a copy of his book off to Nguyen.

Where There’s a Ville, There’s a Way

Wahlbeck: {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} / {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Hastings: {X-}{X-} / {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {X-}

We caught up with the action on fifth where Brian Hastings bet and Ville Wahlbeck called. The action was the same on sixth but on seventh, Hastings check-called Wahlbeck’s bet. Wahlbeck showed two pair which was good as Hastings mucked and Wahlbeck continued to climb towards the top of the leaderboard.

Nobody Loves Raymond

Level 11 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Dehkarghani : {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {x-}{x-}
Zolotow: {x-}{x-} / {9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} / {x-}
Habib: {x-}{x-} / {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{7-Spades} / {x-}

Raymond Dehkarghani fired a bet out on fifth when it was checked to him, but both Hasan Habib and Steve Zolotow made the call. Dehkarghani then made open deuces and bet again, but was called by the other two again. Dehkarghani fired one last time and Habib called, Zolotow then rechecked his cards before electing to much.

We couldn't make out exactly what Dehkarghani said but he then mucked when Habib flipped {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for two pair which was good.

Erick Lindgren

Brenes: {x-}{x-} / {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} / {x-}

Humberto Brenes bet on fifth street with Ville Wahlbeck and Erick Lindgren both calling before it was checked to Wahlbeck on sixth street and the Finn bet, again getting called twice. On seventh, it was Brenes who checked, Wahlbeck bet and Lindgren made the call, Brenes tanked before making the overcall and Wahlbeck turned over {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a straight to scoop.
