Lisandro is Unstoppable

Juanda: x-x / {K-Diamonds} {j-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} / x
Lisandro: x-x / {2-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} / x

The last hand before the break was contested between John Juanda and Jeff Lisandro (again). Juanda led the betting all the way until the river, where he finally checked to Lisandro. Lisandro bet, then showed down {9-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} in the hole for a jack-high straight.

Juanda is down to 90,00 after having more than half a million chips about twenty minutes ago. Lisandro has about 770,000, roughly half the chips in play.

Win a Pot, You're the Chip Leader

John Juanda (X) (X) {10-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} (X)
Jeff Lisandro (X) (X) {3-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs} (X)

As Nick Frangos said earlier, win a pot, you're the chip leader.

Jeff Lisandro brought it in with the {3-Diamonds}, John Juanda completed and Lisandro called. Lisandro check-called Juanda's bets all the way to the river, where he put in a check-raise. Juanda three-bet, Lisandro four-bet and Juanda called.

Lisandro revealed {3-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {J-Spades} for a full house and Juanda mucked, now down to 170,000 while Lisandro is up to 670,000.

Nick Frangos Crippled

Nick Frangos (X) (X) {9-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} (X)
Steven Stencil (X) (X) {A-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds} (X)

Nick Frangos completed on third street, Steven Stencil raised and Frangos called.

"See you on the river, buddy," he quipped as their fourth street cards came out. Stencil bet and Frangos called.

Stencil continued to lead out, betting fifth and sixth streets, Frangos calling him down. Stencil checked seventh, Frangos bet, and Stencil called.

"Kings up," declared Frangos, only to have Stencil turn over {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {6-Clubs} in the hole for aces up.

Stencil dragged the pot, and a clearly frustrated Frangos is down to only 23,000 in chips.

Eric Pardey Eliminated in 6th Place ($19,690)

Eric Pardey - 6th Place
Eric Pardey - 6th Place
Jeff Lisandro (X) (X) {2-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} (X)
Eric Pardey (X) (X) {8-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {3-Spades} (X)

Jeff Lisandro brought it in, Eric Pardey completed and Lisandro called. Pardey bet out on fourth street, Lisandro making the call. Pardey put his last 15,000 chips in the middle on fifth street and Lisandro looked him up.

Lisandro turned up 2-3-6 in the hole for two pair, jacks and deuces. Pardey's pair of eights were no match, and he hit the rail in 6th place, leaving his Uncle Rod to try and claim a bracelet for the family.

"Ah, the old two pair draw. Start with one, try to make two," quipped Lisandro as he raked in the pot.

Eric Pardey in Critical Condition

Steven Stencil (X) (X) {8-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Eric Pardey (X) (X) {7-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}
John Juanda (X) (X) {3-Hearts} {5-Spades}

John Juanda brought it in, Steven Stencil completed and Eric Pardey called. Stencil made the high board on fourth and checked, Pardey bet, Juanda folded and Stencil made the call. Pardey led again on fifth street, Stencil looking him up. When Stencil caught the {Q-Spades} on sixth, he bet out and Pardey gave up his hand.

After that pot, Pardey's stack was critically short, with only 42,000 remaining.

Pardey Picks One Up from Juanda

John Juanda (X) (X) {8-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {4-Hearts} (X)
Steven Stencil (X) (X) {K-Clubs}
Rod Pardey (X) (X) {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {2-Spades} {K-Diamonds} (X)


John Juanda completed on third street, Steven Stencil flat-called, and Rod Pardey raised. Juanda reraised, Stencil got out of the way and Pardey made the call.

Pardey made an open pair of sevens on fourth street and led out, Juanda making the call. Pardey continued to lead on every subsequent street and Juanda called him down until seventh street, when he gave up his hand.

Big Limits, Big Swings

Just as Daniel Studer was exiting the stage in 7th place, Nick Frangos wandered over to the rail to chat with a friend.

"It's 10K-20K limits now. If you win a pot, you're the chip leader," he remarked.

"So... win a pot!" was his pal's response.

Daniel Studer Eliminated in 7th Place ($15,862)

Daniel Studer - 7th Place
Daniel Studer - 7th Place
John Juanda (X) (X) {4-Spades} {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {5-Hearts} (X)
Rod Pardey (X) (X) {9-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} (X)
Daniel Studer (X) (X) {6-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {3-Clubs} (X)

With the pot still three-ways on fifth street, Daniel Studer led out and both Juanda and Pardey called. On sixth, Pardey made the high board when he caught an ace and bet out, Studer called all in for his last 3,000 and Juanda called as well. Pardey check-called one last bet from Juanda on seventh.

Juanda turned up {5-Spades} {9-Spades} {8-Spades} for a rivered flush, besting Studer's {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {K-Clubs} for kings up. Pardey mucked and Juanda took down the pot, sending Studer to the rail in seventh place.

With that pot, Juanda took the chip lead with 500,000.
