Greg Mascio Eliminated in 4th Place ($48,200)

Posted: Fri, Jun 10, 05, 5:06 PM

Mascio is taken out by Johnny Bax (Cliff Josephy). Bax put Mascio all in on the flop. Mascio showed a pair of sevens, Bax a pair of eights. The next card may as well have been the death card for Mascio. It was the eight of clubs, giving Bax trips, and ending Mascio's hopes for a bracelet.

Three players remain.

Short Break

Posted: Fri, Jun 10, 05, 4:39 PM

A line forming behind our final table, as a result of people waiting to be paid out of the $2000 Limit Event, has caused Tournament Director Jack Effel to move this stud game a few tables away. Play will resume as soon as the relocation has finished.

Dr. Burtman Doubles Up

Posted: Fri, Jun 10, 05, 4:34 PM

Dr. Burtman just wrote himself a prescription for a new life. With 9h-10h-8d-Ks showing, Johnny Bax put him nearly all in. Burtman reraised all-in with only $4,000 left. Burtman bet the last $4,000 on the river, showing a 6-7 in the hole, making a straight, meanwhile, Bax has only trip deuces and did not make a full house.
