Zeidman vs. Bjorin . . . the Rematch

Chris Bjorin on Day 1.
Chris Bjorin on Day 1.

Way back in the end of May, Cory Zeidman took down Event 4: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better for $201,559 and his first gold bracelet. The man he defeated in heads-up play? None other than Chris Bjorin, who has 63 in-the-money finishes at the WSOP.

Interestingly, both of these men are still alive in today's tournament; what's more, they're actually seated together at Table 434.

Is a rematch in the works? If so, they'd better get busy as both men are sitting with slightly less than average stacks.

Bermude Eliminated by Puchkov

Stud Hi/Lo:

A short-stacked Miguel Rodriguez Bermude, who began the day third in chips, found himself all in from the get go in a hand of Stud Hi/Lo against bracelet-winner Konstantin Puchkov.

Bermude: {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} / {2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {J-Clubs}
Puchkov: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} / {6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} / {10-Spades}

Bermude started with a pair of deuces and some hope of a low, but the latter went out the window as he drew bad street after street; meanwhile, Puchkov made aces up and took down the pot.

Couden Jams on Sung

Pot Limit Omaha

We just caught little details of a big hand between Steve Sung and Joseph Couden, and the latter got himself some serious profit.

The board read {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{K-Clubs} when Sung bet 16,500 from under the gun, and the action was on Couden, who was in the cutoff. He tanked for a bit before announcing he was all in. This meant a raise for 40,900 extra chips, and Sung wanted to make sure that was allowed. Couden was really sharp and said the pot was 43,500, and the dealer counted it down. Couden was spot on, and Sung went into the tank.

"You want me to call?" he asked after a while, but Couden didn't respond.

"What's the next game?" he asked Matt Hawrilenko a couple of seconds later, and he showed the next sign that said '2-7 Triple Draw'.

All of this seemed to matter to Sung who counted down his own stack twice before finally folding. Couden is up to 83,900 while Sung still has a very big stack worth 116,000.

Finkernagel Goes With It

No Limit Hold'em:

With around 14,000 in the pot and a flop of {2-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Andrew Finkernagel led out for 7,000 from the big blind and action was on Scott Seiver. The latter then thought for a few moments before sliding out a min-raise to 14,000.

"Alright, I'm going in," Finkernagel said and committed his last 20,000. Before he could get the chips all the way into the pot, Seiver snap-folded. Despite losing that hand, Seiver is still sitting with 50,000, which is what he had the last time we checked in.
