Limit Again; Down to 5 Tables
Jun 25, '07
The game has switched back to Limit Holdem, as the sixth table in play has just been brokem. Notable eliminations include Paul Sexton in 59th ($2,920), and "Miami John" Cernuto in 54th ($3,554).
Karlo Lopez was moved into quite a predicament as he is now in the one-seat, next to Jeff Lisandro in two, and Michael Craig in three. Look for fireworks when the game flips back to No-Limit.
J.C. Tran was invovled in a big swing in the last level. Tran was involved in a three-way pot with the players in Seat 6 and Seat 1, but Seat 1 was all in preflop. The flop came Q
Q
3
, Tran bet $5,000 and Seat 6 raised all in for $23,000 more. Tran made the call after lots of thought, but hated the results as his 9
9
were far behind Seat 6's A
Q
. The 5
and the K
came on the turn and river, and Tran was crippled. Tran was able to double up soon after, and used aggressive play after to get his chips back to a comfortable level.
Jeff Lisandro took the chip lead, jumping to $65,500, when he raise a shortstack all-in prefolp on a no-limit round. He flipped over A
K
while his opponent could muster only K
Q
. The board came 8

and his opponenet was out in 53rd place.
Briton Peter Gould has around $47,000 in chips.
