Bez Shoves Over Four Players

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

According to the table, an under-the-gun player raised pre-flop and received calls from Farhad Davoudzadeh, Fred Goldberg, and the small blind.

In the big blind, Alex Bez shoved for around 180,000 and the original raiser got out of the way. Davoudzadeh, though, tanked for a few moments before calling as the rest of the table folded.

"Ace-queen," Bez asked as Davoudzadeh shook his head. "Oh shit," Bez replied as he opened up {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. Davoudzadeh showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

The board ran out {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}, missing Bez and sending him to the rail.

Lazar Won't Make Another Run at a Final Table

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Scott Lazar burst onto the poker scene when he finished in sixth place in the 2005 Main Event. This tournament was just his seventh WSOP cash since that run, but it won't end at another final table.

"Lots of chips at this table," tablemate Kevin Meyers said following the hand.
