Brian Hastings
Brian Hastings

Brian Hastings popped it up to 1,000 from late position and George Danzer was the sole caller from the small blind.

Both players drew one card and Danzer was first to act after the draw. He tossed out 1,700 and Hastings quickly flat called.

Danzer rolled over {9-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{2-} and declared a ninety-eight.

"NInety-eight?" asked Hastings with a worried tone. "Oh, nine, eight seven?"

Hastings fanned {9-}{8-}{7-}{4-}{3-} and the two quickly released that Hastings' nine-eight-seven-four was the best hand. Danzer flung his into the muck and a surprised Hastings happily stacked new chips. The 2012 bracelet winner now has about 34,000 in chips while Danzer has dropped to 20,700.

Mercier Will Not Be Our 2-7 Champion

Level 4 : 150/300, 75 ante

We missed the precise pre draw action but it appeared as if Joseph Cheong was all in for 7,250. Jason Mercier was all in as well (for 5,925) and Kevin Wert on the button had made the call. Cheong asked for one card, Mercier requested two and the player on the button stood pat.

Joseph Cheong{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Jason Mercier{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Kevin Wert{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Cheong received the {9-Spades} which secured him the clean triple up after Mercier tabled the {10-Diamonds} as his first received card. Mercier got the {J-Hearts} and stood up to exit the tournament. Cheong tripled and now has a workable stack again.

Joseph Cheong{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Kevin Wert{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Jason Mercier{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Turner Calls Baxter With a King

Level 4 : 150/300, 75 ante

Jon Turner raised to 900 from under the gun and Billy Baxter called from the button. Each player drew one card and Turner checked. Baxter bet 2,000 and after about 60 seconds in the tank, Turner called.

"You win," announced Baxter.

Turner tabled {K-}{9-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, Baxter mucked, and Turner collected the pot.

Ivey Draws Two, Makes an Eight-Six

Level 4 : 150/300, 75 ante

Phil Ivey opened the action with a raise to 700 from the under-the-gun plus one position. Both blinds were non-believers and made the call. Larry Wright in the small blind drew just one, while the big blind and Ivey requested two new cars from the dealer. Both blinds checked to Ivey who nonchalantly bet 2,000. Wright was again not convinced of Ivey's truthfulness and made the call. Just as quick as Wright called, he could muck as Ivey showed {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and took down the pot.

Eighters Gonna Eight

Level 4 : 150/300, 75 ante

We caught up with the action post-draw to see Nick Schulman, Justin Gardenhire, and Jean-Robert Bellande all seated with cards in front of them. Schulman checked and Gardenhire moved out 2,300.

Action was on Bellande on the button and he sat thinking for a moment. He dipped into his stack and came out with a raise to 6,500 total. Schulman flung his hand away and Gardenhire flat called.

"Eighty-seven," said Bellande, showing {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}.

Unfortunately for JRB, his eight-low was the second best hand, as Gardenhire rolled over {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for the best eight-low. Gardenhire scooped up the pot and now has about 40,000 in chips to Bellande's 22,000.
