Jimmy Fricke opened the action with a raise from the hijack to 350. J.C. Tran had just 1,425 left and moved it in from the cutoff. Action folded back to Fricke who called and drew one. Tran stood pat and revealed his hand.
Tran:
Fricke:
Slowly, Fricke peeled his last card. It was a which sent Tran to the rail. Fricke is now one of our larger stacks with 11,800.
Barry Greenstein raised to 400 from middle position, before the player to his left moved all in for 1,200 total. The big blind thought for awhile before flatting, and Greenstein called to see the draw three ways.
The big blind stood pat, Greenstein took two and the all in player took one. The player in the big blind decided to lead out for 500 and Greenstein moved in for 2,400. The player who bet snap-called and showed , or "8-perfect". It was good to take both the side pot and main pot, forcing Greenstein to use his last remaining rebuy chip.
Shaun Deeb just knocked out David Williams and reduced Michael Binger's stack to his final rebuy.
All three were in preflop and drew one card.
Binger: - Drew a
Williams: - Drew a
Deeb: - Drew a
With Binger and Williams both bricking heavily, Deeb's Queen-nine was good enough to scoop. He looks to be our chip leader. Other big stacks are Stuart Rutter (20,000) and Scott Seiver (14,500).
Michael Mizrachi was all in with and marginally behind against another player's . However "The Grinder" drew a to his opponent's to survive.
Soon after Andy Bloch moved all in for his last 925 before the draw with Mizrachi calling in the small blind. Both players drew one card and Bloch turned over but Mizrachi had done well in the draw again, showing to pick up another pot.
