David Hernandez Eliminated in 4th Place ($910)

Dan Hernandez
Dan Hernandez

Pot-Limit Omaha

Michael Chan opened to 20,000. Greg Bitterly called on the button. Brent Harrington potted to 90,000, and Dan Hernandez put his whole stack of 31,000 in. Chan folded but Bitterly called to create a side pot. The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Harrington potted all in for 135,000 or so. Bitterly tanked a couple of minutes and called.

BItterly: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Spades}
Harrington: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Hernandez: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Amazingly, the kings held up unimproved as the board ran out {9-Diamonds} then {7-Hearts}.

Andy Camou Eliminated in 5th Place ($680); Andrew Phares Eliminated in 6th Place ($460)

Andrew Phares
Andrew Phares

No-Limit Hold'em

Andrew Phares shoved under the gun for 31,000. Michael Chan called on the button. Andy Camou jammed for 74,000 in the small blind, and an anguished Chan called.

Phares: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Camou: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Chan: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

Chan was disappointed to see his spades were dead, but the {8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop paired him. The {4-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river were bricks, and Chan exhaled.

Stud Hi-Low

Ian Maclin completed with the {a-Hearts} and Greg Bitterly made it two bets with {4-Hearts}. The two got it in on fourth street.

Maclin: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}/{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Bitterly: {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}/{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Bitterly had a fantastic hand, and while Maclin's board ran out dead, BItterly went {2-Clubs} on fifth to lock in the freeroll then hit a {3-Clubs} on the end to make a straight.

Harrington Leading 8-Game

Jason Somerville just busted Kevin Gerhart in a preflop all in during the PLO round. Somerville had {k-}{k-}{j-}{10-} and made a straight against what looked like {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-}{4-} that Gerhart raised on the button.

Meanwhile, Brent Harrington occupies that same table and appears to be the chip leader by quite a bit at this juncture.
