Zaichenko Busts Lee

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Early chip leader Doug Lee raised to 975 leaving himself just a lone 25-denomination chip. With the action on Andrey Zaichenko, he three-bet to 2,000 to force everyone out before Lee made the call.

Lee: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Zaichenko: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Zaichenko rivered a straight to send Lee to the rail.

Straight Dusts Off DeWitt

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} we found Jason DeWitt all in holding {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} against an opponent's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The dealer dropped the {K-Diamonds} on the turn to leave DeWitt drawing to a full house, but when the river landed the {8-Spades}, the 2010 WSOP bracelet winner headed to the rail.

Hachem and O'Donnell Meet Again

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

"Floor! Can be get rid of this guy already!" bellowed Joe Hachem as he moved to his second table of the day.

"Yeah floor. Get rid of him!" returned Kevin O'Donnell as he pointed at Hachem.

Hachem and O'Donnell - who are quite close friends - began this tournament on the same table in the red section.

With their table recently breaking, they both managed to draw the same table in the Silver section.

"He's the worst!" continued Hachem as both players finally unracked their chips to be dealt in.

Mercier Cripples Koon in Cooler Hand

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Jason Mercier has crippled Jason Koon in a really cooler hand that is typical of Pot-Limit Omaha.

Both players' chips went into the middle on a {5-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Hearts} board, Mercier holding {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Koon the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades} for a higher set. The dealer put the {6-Hearts} onto the river to gift Mercier quads and leave Koon with only 2,000 chips.

Koon got his remaining chips into the middle of the felt with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} on a {Q-Spades}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds} flop and was up against {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

The turn and river were the {2-Hearts} and {5-Hearts} to split the pot.
