Burr Busts Israelashvili

[user153638]

Nível 13

2-7 Triple Draw

We picked up the action on the second draw when Melissa Burr stood pat and Roland Israelashvili, who was already all in, drew one. That action repeated itself on the third draw, and before Israelashvili looked at his cards, he asked to see Burr's.

Burr tabled a 7-6-4-3-2 low, which meant Israelashvili, who was drawing to a 7-6-4-2, could only tie with a three. He flipped over his last card and it was a useless . Israelashvili collected his things, and as he made his way off the tournament floor, his former table was broke.

Phil Ivey Hits The Rail

Nível 13

Stud

Under unknown circumstances, Phil Ivey has been eliminated. Scott Seiver was kind enough to share a little information about his bust out. Seiver explained that Ivey was very short when he ended up all in with a pair of fours in stud against Seiver's aces. Ivey couldn't improve and was eliminated.

With the elimination, Ivey's rocky summer continued as he's only managed to notch just one cash at the 2014 WSOP.

The Cynical Old Man Knocks Out Brian Hastings

Nível 13

2-7 Triple Draw

"I said that I was going to knock him out on his birthday, I almost forgot," Frank Kassela said with a big smile as the dealer made reference to something the 2010 WSOP Player of the Year said.

Kassela has just knocked out Brian Hastings on his birthday, and he told us what happened.

Kassela made an eight perfect against Hastings' eight-six and that was it for the former winner of the $10,000 Heads Up Championship.

"I'm just a cynical old man," Kassela added, "I don't give a s**t about birthdays."

The players at the table, including Kassela, laughed. The tournament is now down to 37 players.

Seiver Does the Harlem Shakerchi

[user153638]

Nível 13

No-Limit Hold'em

We saw Talal Shakerchi exiting the tournament area, and by the time we made our way over to the table, the cards had been scooped up. Fortunately for us, Andy Bloch remembered a bit of the action.

According to him, the hand began when Scott Seiver limped from the cutoff and Bloch raised to 15,000 from the button. A short-stacked Shakerchi then moved all in for 16,000 from the big, both his opponents called, and it was off to the flop.

Bloch didn't specify, but summed the hand up by saying Seiver, who held , ended up making a pair of eights on the turn. It proved good as Shakerchi's hand failed to top it. Thus ends Shakerchi's $50,000 Poker Players' Championship adventure.
