Popescu Outted by Crain's Seven

Level 19

2-7 Triple Draw

Eric Crain opened before the draw and Septimiu Popescu three-bet. Marco Johnson called and Crain made it four bets. Both players called. Popescu took one, Johnson drew two, and Crain took one.

Popescu led out and Johnson called. Crain raised and Popescu three-bet it right back. Johnson called again and Crain capped it. Both players called.

Both Popescu and Crain stood pat while Johnson took two once more. Septimu bet his last 8,500 and was all in. Johnson called and Crain raised when it came to him. Johnson called once more and drew one card on the draw. Crain stood pat.

Johnson checked and Crain fired a bet. Johnson folded and Crain fanned {7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}. Popescu shook his head, flashed an {8-} low and mucked his hand. His elimination has prompted a total redraw to the final two tables.

"I'm Admittedly Stalling"

Level 19

Josh Arieh mockingly called the clock on himself, then another player obliged him.

"I'm admittedly stalling," Arieh told the tournament director in an attempt to get the tournament to be played hand for hand on the bubble of a redraw and money jump. The director offered him only a penalty in response.

Wattel Doubles With Aces

Level 19

Limit Hold'em

We caught up with the action to see Michael Malm, Dario Alioto, and Mike Wattel take in a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Malm and Alioto checked and Wattel fired out. Malm called and Alioto raised. Wattel made it three bets and Malm got out of the way. Alioto stuck around.

The {10-Hearts} turned and Alioto checked. Wattel moved all in for his last 5,100 and Alioto called.

Wattel: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Alioto: {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Wattel was ahead with pocket aces and stayed that way when the {k-Spades} finished off the board. He now has about 110,000 to Alioto's 215,000.
