One Phil Eliminates the Other

[user153638]

Nível 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Well it was a short and not-so-sweet stay for Phil Ivey, who was recently eliminated by Phil "Unabomber" Laak. We missed the hand so we decided to ask Laak if he could recall any details.

"I don't remember, but it was lower than his," Laak explained when asked what his hand had been. Another player at the table offered help and reminded Laak that Ivey had made two pair to bust and that Laak actually had trips (which is sometimes better for an overall razz hand).

Laak then launched into numerous tangents as he is prone to do. The point is Ivey has been eliminated from Event #7: $1,500 Seven-Card Razz.

The 1983 WSOP Main Event Champ Falls to "Schifty"

[user153638]

Nível 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The day stated with quite a few former WSOP Main Event champs in the field, but one of them has just fallen in 1983 champ Tom McEvoy, who you may remember was the first satellite qualifier to win the "Big One."

We didn't pick up the action on the Poker Hall of Famer's final hand until fifth street, which is when he got the last of his chips in against Ron "Schifty" Schiffman.

"I'm not paired yet," McEvoy said optimistically.

"Me neither," Schiffman replied.

McEvoy: / /
Schiffman: / /

After sixth and seventh streets were run out, McEvoy ended with a jack-nine low while Schiffman made a nine-seven. A deflated McEvoy collected his things and exited the tournament just shy of the last break of the night.

Hot Start but a Fast End for Violette

[user153638]

Nível 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The day started off hot for WSOP bracelet winner Cyndy Violette, but it took a nasty turn here in Level 8.

"She just kept losing pots," Randy Ohel told us after we'd discovered Violette was no longer in her seat. "She had a six-draw on fourth but got three bricks."

Don't worry if you don't understand razz talk. The gist of what he was saying is that Violette has been eliminated from the tournament.
