First to act, seat six bets his last $50, which David Williams, John Bonetti, and seat one call. The turn is the 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and the remaining three players check. The river is the 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and it is checked around again. After the betting is completed, the players seem hesitant to reveal their hands. The original all-in player shows Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and the player in the six seat shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Everyone else mucks. The Queens are good to scoop the main pot of $2,500, and the Ace high of seat six is good enough to take the side pot of $200. John Bonetti now has $11,500. David Williams has $7,500. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Fri Jul 21 17:25:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Raymer and James Disagree[/SIZE] In discussing what constitutes a bad beat, Greg Raymer and Kenna James ran into a disagreement. James believes that if he wakes up with pocket kings and runs into pocket aces that he can claim to have taken a bad beat, being that kings are such a good hand and the chances of running into the one better hand are so slim. Raymer, on the other hand, believes James should only be entitled to claim he took a "tough" beat but not a bad beat [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Fri Jul 21 17:35:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Harman Busts[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]In late position, Jennifer Harman moves all-in for $2,075. The player on the button calls her and the previous limpers all fold. Harman shows A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and her opponent shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Already behind, Harman is almost drawing dead after two jacks hit on the flop. And the turn and river fail to bring her the needed straight. Harman has been eliminated from the tournament.

The 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]on the river is no help and the player is eliminated while Bellande climbs over $20,000.
