Steven Wolansky completed and Eric Crain raised the action. Wolansky called to see fourth street.
Wolsansky paired tens on fourth and led out with a bet. Crain stuck around and drilled a pair of jacks on fifth. He fired out and Wolansky called. Crain bet and received a call once again on sixth and tossed out one last bet on seventh. Wolansky could not call on seventh and Crain was awarded the pot.
Greg Mueller opened to 13,500 from under the gun. Marco Johnson shipped for 74,500 more from the small blind, and the big blind folded. Mueller went into the tank, saying he had a good hand but didn't want Johnson to feel slowrolled. Finally, he called.
Mueller:
Johnson:
"Not what I wanted to see," Mueller said.
The was exactly what he wanted to see, however. A turn meant Johnson needed a king or a jack to survive. The river was the , however, and Johnson was finished.
Steven Wolansky opened to 18,000 from the hijack and Eric Crain cut out a three-bet to 35,000 from the next seat over. It folded to Travis Pearson in the small blind and he announced a four-bet all in for 135,000. Wolansky tanked for about a minute before folding. Crain called and the hands were tabled:
Crain:
Pearson:
Pearson seized a tight grip on the hand when he flopped a set on the flop.
"Jacks are live!" someone chimed from the other end of the table.
Just like that the struck the turn, giving Crain Broadway and the lead. The bricked out for Pearson on the river and Crain was able to score the elimination.
"I folded pocket jacks," said a stunned Wolansky after the hand. The rest of the table gasped at this admission.
With Pearson's elimination, we are officially at our final table!
Chris Tryba, Michael Malm and Travis Pearson each put three bets in on fifth street, leaving Tryba all in. Malm bet sixth into a small side pot, and Pearson called. If there was seventh street action, we didn't catch it.
Tryba: //
Malm: /
Pearson: /
Malm had Pearson beat for the side pot with kings up, and Tryba quickly realized he had outs to scoop the whole pot: an ace, a deuce or a four. Any low would give him half the pot. He squeezed out his final card, then tossed a high into the air.
