Another Setback for Awad

Stud 8/b

Awad: (X) (X) / {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} (X) / (X)
Revesz: (X) (X) / {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} / (X)
Lennaard: (X) (X) / {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {k-Hearts} / (X)

Ken Lennaard is trending upwards and Hani Awad is trending downwards after the final hand of Stud Hi/Lo in the last round. The pot was limped three-ways on third street. On fourth, Andrew Revesz took the lead. His bet was called by Lennaard and Awad. Each player put in another bet on sixth street.

Down the river, Revesz still had the lead and bet one more time. Lennaard then raised, driving Awad out of the pot. Revesz called with three eights, but that couldn't beat Lennaard's heart flush that he made with three hearts in the hole.

Awad Losing Ground

Stud 8/b

Hani Awad is back down under 500,000 after an unkind encounter with Dusty Leary. There were five players to fourth street, but only those two made it past fifth street. Awad's board showed {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} (X) {8-Spades}, and he was the aggressor on third street. Leary answered back with {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {K-Spades}.

Awad was the bettor on fourth street as well, but he slowed down and check-called bets on fifth and sixth. Both he and Leary checked seventh street.

Leary exposed another ace and another king for aces up, and that was good enough to take the full pot, moving him up close to 600,000.

More Chips for Sugar Bear

Stud 8/b

Cahail: (X) (X) / {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {k-Clubs} {4-Spades} FOLD
Puchkov: (X) (X) / {6-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} / (X)
Barbieri: (X) (X) / {q-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {q-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} / (X)

Blake Cahail, a 23-year-old from Kansas City, got things started by completing the bring-in. He was called by Konstantin Puchkov before chip leader Al Barbieri raised. Cahail and Puchkov both called.

Barbarier kept the lead on fourth street and bet it. Cahail called before Puchkov raised. Each other player called to fifth street, where Cahail grabbed the lead. He checked to Puchkov, then called after Puchkov bet and Barbieri called.

Sixth street gave open eights to Barbieri, restoring him to the lead. He bet and was called only by Puchkov. Barbieri bet seventh street dark. His action drew a long pause from Puchkov, about forty seconds, before Puchkov folded.

A Little Scooper For Awad

Stud 8/b

Blake Cahail was the bring-in with the {3-Clubs}, and Hani Awad completed with the {K-Diamonds}. Andrew Revesz called with the {8-Diamonds}, and Al Barbieri reraised with the {6-Spades}. Cahail folded, and the other two opponents called the extra bet.

Awad: (X) (X) / {K-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {2-Clubs} / (X)
Barbieri: (X) (X) / {6-Spades} {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} / (X)

Revesz folded after pulling the {Q-Clubs} on fourth street. Barbieri bet his ace, and Awad called. When Awad paired on fifth, he led out, and Barbieri called the bet. Both players checked sixth and seventh.

Awad had a deuce in his down cards, and two pair was good enough to scoop up the pot.

First Blood: Revesz

Stud

Revesz: (X) (X) / {k-Spades} {q-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} / (X)
Barbieri: (X) (X) / {8-Hearts} {a-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {q-Clubs} / (X)

Al Barbieri was the player who completed the bring-in on third street, but it was Andrew Revesz that had the best hand all the way down. Barbieri checked and called a bet from Revesz on fourth street; both players checked fifth street. Barbieri still had the lead on sixth and tried one bet. He couldn't shake Revesz, who called to the river. Both players checked, prompting Revesz to open a king in the hole for split kings and the winner.

Play Resumes

The final eight players are back from dinner, introductions have been made, and cards are in the air. 50 minutes are left in Level 22.

Chip Jett Eliminated in 9th Place ($16,523)

Chip Jett - 9th place
Chip Jett - 9th place

Stud

Jett: (X) (X) / {j-Clubs} {k-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {3-Hearts} / (X)
Puchkov: (X) (X) / {2-Clubs} {6-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} / (X)

On the very first hand at the secondary feature table, a raising war broke out on fourth street between Chip Jett and Konstantin Puchkov. Jett bet and re-raised after Puchkov raised. Puchkov called.

Jett bet fifth street and was called. Puchkov made open sixes on sixth street and checked it, despite the fact that Jett had only 5,000 behind. Jett also checked. Down the river, Puchkov bet. Jett put his last chips on the line, on to be shown {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and a third card in the hole. Puchkov made deuces full of sixes, a hand Jett couldn't beat, and like that Jett is out.

With that elimination, the tournament has been sent on a one-hour dinner break. They'll be back at 8pm.
