Jamshidi: 772 - fold
Bohlman: A625 - K83

With Jamshidi dropping out on fifth street, Bohlman took the side pot and went on to make a six low, taking the main pot as well and eliminating seat 8 from the event.

Stud - David Williams Eliminated

Daid Williams was down to his last 100 before getting all in with the 10 showing. Tom McEvoy and the player in seat 7 continued to bet into a side pot until McEvoy folded to seat 7's bet on fourth street.

McEvoy: 78 - fold
Williams: 1034A86 X

Binger checked his pair of threes on sixth street and Kassela also checked, but fired one last bet on seventh street. Binger called and Kassela announced "no pair" and turned over ace-high. Binger made a good call and raked a decent pot with an open pair of threes.

Hour Four Recap

Jul 07, '07

Family Affair Part 3 

The ESPN cameras have swarmed to one table on the rail.  At first glance one wouldn’t recognize anyone at the table, but the lady in Seat 5 does look familiar.  One glance to the rail, and the sight of reigning champ Jamie Gold reminds us of all of those crowd shots last year:  he’s sweating his mom Jane.

Ducks On Shulman

Barry Shulman has quietly built up an impressive chipstack of about $35,000.  Shulman gathered a few of those chips when he eliminated a player at his table.  With the board reading Kc 6h 2s, the player in Seat 3 bet $4,000, Shulman bet enough to put him all in, and Seat 3 called.  Shulman showed 2c 2h, and his opponent had 9d 9s.  The turn and the river brick out, and Shulman gathers the chips.  Davidson Matthew commented after the hand how the fallen player didn’t even have a King.  Shulman acknowledged the fact, mentioning, “Yeah it gave him two more outs than I thought he had”

Seidel Shares

Pokerstars team member Noah Boeken and Erik Seidel shared a laugh as they chopped a pot as each showed an unimproved A-J.  Boeken had a flush draw on the turn, but didn’t make it.  Seidel mentioned that Boeken was freerolling on the turn, Boeken simply pointed out that each of them gained a few chips so it wasn’t a total loss.

Scott Bohlman has emerged as the dominant chip leader with over $86,000.  Joe Sebok has been steamrolling his table, and is second in chips with $70,000.  Not far behind is Scotty Nguyen who is basking in the secondary TV table limelight with $68,000 in chips.

Players are currently on a 20 minute break.

New Chip Leader

Jul 03, '07

A new chip leader has emerged in the last level and his name is Chad "lilholdem" Batista. Batista is now over $450,000 in chips and picked up a large chunk courtesy of Sean McCabe. McCabe raised from middle position and Batista smooth called from the button. The flop came king high and both players checked. The turn was a ten and McCabe bet out. Batista came back over the top all in and McCabe made the call. McCabe showed A-K for top pair and Batista flipped over A-A. The river bricked out for McCabe and he was sent to the rail. Batista picked up the nice pot and is currently the chip leader. Theo Tran and David Williams are still in the top five in chips as well.

Notable eliminations in the last round include Berry Johnston, Lee Watkinson, Scott Bohlman and Justin "Zeejustin" Bonomo.

Amnon Filippi has been able to consistently build his stack throughout the day and has had to do so with both J.C. Tran and Daniel Alaei at his table. Filippi raised to $12,000 from late postion and the action folded to the big blind. The player in the big blind thought for a moment and then pushed all in. Filippi thought for about five seconds and said "call", turning over K Q. The player in the big blind showed 10 5 and knew he was in trouble. The flop came J 9 4, leaving the player in the big blind with only one live card. The turn was the A and the river brought the K. Filippi eliminated his opponent and now has $305,000.

The field has been whittled down to just 48 players.

Notable Chip Counts

Chad Batista	452,000
Jordan Morgan	240,000
David Williams	220,000
Amnon Filppi	220,000

After just one level of play in day two, there are fewer than 93 players remaining. The mixed limit tournament area is not gathering a lot of attention from the spectators in the Amazon Room today, two other events are running simultaneously and a fourth is on its way. The $50,000 World Championship H.O.R.S.E event is drawing almost every spectator in the house and the field literally reads like a who's who list of poker professionals. Dwarfing both events in sheer size is the largest Senior's Event in history and a Pot Limit Omaha eight-or-better tournament is set to start at five.

Still in the field after one level of play are Pual Sexton, Phil Gordon, Scott Bohlman, Shannon Shorr, J.C. Tran, Pual "The Truth" Darden and "Miami" John Cernuto who started the day in the Senior's event. Sexton was able to triple up in the limit portion of this level with limits of $800-$1,600. Sexton was all in against the players in seats one and seven. The players in seats one and seven check all the way down and at the end the board showed 4 3 2 8 2. The player in seat seven showed A J for ace high and Sexton was holding A Q for ace high with a higher kicker. Sexton tripled up to over $5,000 after the hand.

The game switched to no limit with blinds of $300-$600 halfway through the level and Jeff Lisandro was ready to gamble. The player in seat one raised all in from the cut off and Lisandro was more than happy to call from the big blind. The player in seat one showed K 4 and Lisandro called with K 7. "Let's dance!" said Lisandro after he tabled his cards. The board came Q 6 4 J 8 and the player in seat one paired his four. Lisandro lost around $7,000 on the hand but still sits with a large stack.

Several hands later at the same table "Miami" John Cernuto pushed all in and was called by the player in seat one. Seat one showed A-K and Cernuto pushed with A-9. The flop came K-Q-8 and the player in seat one finally thought his losing days were over. The turn and the river were running nines for Cernuto  and he was able to double up to $9,000. The player in seat one was so upset after the hand the he got out of his chair and chastised Cernuto for being so lucky.

Dinner Break

Jun 18, '07

The start of level 16 included 17 players, heading into the dinner break there are only 14 remaining. The dinner break will last an hour and a half, with play resuming at 10 p.m.

Early in the level, Noah Schwartz picked a spot to try and double up. Perry Friedman bet out and Schwartz came back over the top all in. Friedman called and was holding A K. Schwartz turned up Q 10. The board came 8 3 3 10 8 and Schwartz''s tens doubled him up.

Scott Bohlman battled all level with a short stack and finally pushed his last $108,000 into the middle from early position. John-Paul Kelly called for $68,000. Kelly showed A 9 and Bohlman had A 6. The board came 10 5 3 9 3 and Kelly doubled through Bohlman. Bohlman was left with $40,000 after the hand. The very next hand Bohlman was in the big blind and Perry Friedman bet out $39,000 from the button, exactly the number of chips Bohlman had left. Bohlman looked at one card and called. Friedman had A 4 and Bohlman turned up the K. The other card, which Bohlman had yet to look at, was the A. Bohlman was elated and said, "Oh yeah baby! One time!" The board came J 8 6 K 2 and Bohlman hung on to double up to $92,000.

John-Paul Kelly was eliminated in 16th place this level, earning $16,891. Noah Schwartz raised to $40,000 preflop and Kelly reraised all in for $150,000. Schwartz quickly made the call and flipped up A K. Kelly had A Q. The board bricked out for Kelly when it came J 10 6 6 4 and he was eliminated. Schwartz picked up $150,000 plus the blinds and antes and now maintains a healthy chip stack.

Eliminated in 15th place was Scott Bohlman. After doubling up through John-Paul Kelly, Bohlman found himself all in again, this time against Jason Song. Bohlman had pushed all in for $83,000 from late position and Song thought about his play from the button with Noah Schwartz and Thomas Wahlroos left to act. Schwartz mucked his hand out of position and left the table. Song called and Wahlroos folded. Song showed A J and Bohlman pushed with K 7. The board came 9 6 3 5 5 and Song won with ace high. Edward Moncada commented on Schwartz's behavior, saying that by mucking out of turn while a player was all in gave Song information and influenced his decision.

On the last hand of the level, Beth Shak was able to double up to over $600,000. Shankar Pillai raised Shak's big blind and Shak responded by reraising Pillai. Pillai pushed all in and Shak called. Pillai had A K and Shak had 10 10. The board bricked out when it came 8 4 2 4 3 and Shak doubled up. "You tried to bully me!" cried Shak. "I haven't played a hand yet and you tried to bully me!"
