Pete Linton raised from under the gun and Christopher George three-bet on the button. Barbara Enright called from the small blind and Linton called as well.
The board came and the action was the same on all three streets with it checking to George who bet and the other two players calling each time.
Linton showed for two pair and the high half of the pot while George and Enright split the other half of the pot each with the nut-low.
Picking up the action on the four-way flop of , Francis Mariani bet out of the small blind and the big blind folded. Daniel Negreanu raised, Walter Treccarichi in the cutoff folded and Mariani called. On the turn, Mariani checked and called a bet by Negreanu before check-folding the river. He flashed for the busted nut-flush draw and a pair.
Frankie O'Dell checked out the remaining three tables in the Miranda room. "I just came over to say hi, good luck," he said after being given a penalty over in Brasilia. Apparently, O'Dell misread his cards and checked behind the nuts to get a time out, but sits on an above-average stack. Current casualties from Miranda include Marc Schubbe, Mitch Mitchener and Ryan Paluf.
Daniel Negreanu has had a rough start into the day and saw his stack cut in half, while Walter Treccarichi, Thomas Hunt and Frederic Moss increased their stacks significantly.
Gabe Paul: / /
Dmitry Chop: / /
James Richburg: / /
Rolf Galasen and Gabe Paul are the next casualties, and the latter exited in brutal fashion after his stack was reduced to all but two bring-ins in a huge three-way hand.
There were already multiple bets in on third street between Paul, Dmitry Chop and James Richburg. On sixth street, the bets were capped and all three players remained in before seventh street saw Paul check. Chop bet and Richburg called, and Paul called as well.
Chop showed for a straight and Richburg showed , showing he had rolled up sixes and had caught a higher full house on seventh with another nine. Paul mucked up rolled up aces after being unable to catch a full house, was moved tables and busted right after.
The pot was more than 70,000 in total, double the current average!
Kevin Strehlow, Andrew Barber and Mikhail Tulchinskiy were the first three casualties in the Miranda room where the screens currently show 159 players remaining.
Thomas Hunt: /
Mitch Mitchener: /
Meanwhile Thomas Hunt was more fortunate. In a four-way seven-card stud hi-lo hand, he bet fourth street with deuce-four suited showing and forced two folds. However, Mitch Mitchener check-called with an ace-king before folding on fifth street.
Hunt claimed another pot soon after and essentially tripled up his short stack.
Daniel Negreanu had Todd Kreisman all in and at risk in one of the first seven-card stud hands of the day and showed pocket aces. Kreisman however had a set of queens and held up to double.
Esther Taylor and Mihails Morozovs also got into an early pot as well.
Esther Taylor: /
Mihails Morozovs: /
Taylor bet fourth street and Morozovs called before checking fifth street when he found an ace. Taylor bet and Morozovs called before check-folding sixth street. "Good fold," Taylor said and flashed for a pair of kings.
