Boeken's tens don't hold up and he is eliminated from today's event. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:05:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Downey Flops Quad Aces[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Todd Downey gets all-in pre-flop with A-Q and the flop brings A-A-A, putting him far, far out of range of his opponent's pocket kings. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:05:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Level Two Begins[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Level two has started and the blinds are $25-$50.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:06:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Zambrano Plays "the Strangest Hand Ever"[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Carlos Zambrano just stopped by the Card Player table to tell us about "the strangest hand" that he has ever seen. Zambrano limps in under the gun. Two other players limp. The flop is K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Action gets checked around and the 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]rolls off on the turn. Everyone checks again. The river brings the 2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], pairing the board. It's checked around to the player in seat seven who leads out for $250, and Zambrano raises to $600. Seat 7 calls and turns over K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]-2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for a full house. Carlos can't believe that he just smooth-called as he turns over K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the better full house. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:08:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Around the Globe a Year Later[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mike Matusow has the globe given to him last year at the Tournament of Champions by Steve Dannenman prominently displayed in front of him guarding his chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:12:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]A Battle of Pocket Pairs[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]An early position player makes it $150 to go. Tim Phan calls and Rich Belsky re-raises to $400 and both players call. The flop comes 7-4-2, both players check and Belsky bets $800, enough to put both other players all-in. The intial raiser folds and Phan calls, putting himself all-in for $775. Belsky shows pocket queens and Phan shows pocket sevens, for top set. The turn and river help neither player and Belsky drops to $425. Phan doubles up to $2,200. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:17:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Shulman Eliminated[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Barry Shulman has busted out of the tournament.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:22:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Belsky Eliminated [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]After two early position limpers, Belsky limps with suited connectors (9 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]). Tim Phan raises to $400, enough to put Belsky all-in. The limpers fold and Belsky calls his remaining $350. Tim Phan shows two black sevens. Belsky fails to make anything out of his hand and Phan eliminates him. Ironically, it was the same player showing the same hand that crippled Belsky's stack only minutes earlier when Phan made a set against Belsky's pocket queens.

Phan has A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Phan doubles with a boat. He's up to $7,500.

[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:34:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Pre-Flop Crush[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sean Sheikhan raises to $150 in late position and seat seven re-raises all-in for $225 from the cut off. Seat one re-raises again to $500 and Sheikhan folds. Seat one shows pocket tens and seat seven turns over A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and seat one takes it down. "You would have crushed me," says Sheikhan to the winner after the hand.

The board comes K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Duke is busted by the full house of her opponent. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:41:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Four Players Flop a Straight[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]With the board showing 9 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3], three players move all-in and one player, holding 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], folds. All three players turn over J-10 meaning that 4 players flopped a straight. The player who folded 6-5 is clearly very happy with his play, while all the others seem entertained as they chop the pot.

The buton has Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Josephy has 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the flopped straight. The river is the 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]- Josephy wins the hands and goes up to $4,100. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 13:43:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The Moneymaker Effect[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chris Moneymaker pushes all-in and seat six calls with pocket kings.
