Title: Sammy Farha Eliminated in an Estimated 316th Place ($21,070)
Log: With the board showing 5-4-4-3 on the turn, Sammy Farha is all in against John Falconeer at ESPN's Featured Table. Farha shows pocket sevens (an overpair and a gut-shot straight draw), but Falconeer has pocket fives (full house). Farha's straight draw is dead, and he now needs to catch one of the last two sevens in the deck to stay alive. The river card is an 8, and Sammy Farha is eliminated from the Championship Event.


Farha finished in approximately 316th place. He will receive $21,070 for his efforts.

DAMN

Title: Matusow's Dealer Bet
Log: Shortly before play began, the room still seemed somewhat chaotic, and Mike Matusow was going to take a short break from the featured table to go talk to someone. When the two Featured Table dealers said they'd be starting soon, Matusow said something along the lines of "They won't start for at least five minutes. If they do, I'll pay you a thousand dollars." He got up and went to the main tournament floor.


Matusow wasn't gone long, and he was in his seat before play began -- four minutes later.

Title: Lee Watkinson Doubles Up
Log: Lee Watkinson has just doubled up when his pocket 8's cracked another player's pocket 8's when four hearts hit and Watkinson held the 8h. He's now up to $320,000.


Date / Time: 2005-07-12 12:25:00
Title: Daniel Shak Eliminated ($39,075)
Log: Daniel Shak limps into the pot, Greg Raymer raises, and then Shak reraises to $60,000. Raymer thinks for a while, staring down Shak before calling. The flop comes 9c-6c-4c, and Shak moves all in. Raymer looks at the board, looks at his cards, and calls. Shak shows pocket kings (Ks-Kd), while Raymer has Ac-10s (flush draw). Raymer needs an ace or a club to eliminate Shak. The turn card is the Jc, making Raymer his flush, and Shak is drawing dead. (The meaningless river card is the 4d.)


Daniel Shak is eliminated in the vicinity of 183rd place, earning $39,075.


Date / Time: 2005-07-12 12:24:00
Title: Minh Ly Busts Two
Log: Seat #9 and Seat #1 are both all-in with Ah-Kh and A-A. Minh Ly also calls with 7-7. The flop comes K-J-J, with a 2 on the turn, and a 7 on the river, giving Ly three of a kind and knocking both other players out of the tournament.

Date / Time: 2005-07-12 12:41:00
Title: Dutch Boyd Eliminated
Log: Dutch Boyd is all-in preflop with K-10 and is called by Chris Todlewski with A-A. The board comes Q-J-5, giving Boyd an open ended straight draw. The turn is a K. Boyd can now also hit an A for a chop. The river is the 4s, and Dutch Boyd's busted straight is eliminated by Todlewski's pocket Aces.

Date / Time: 2005-07-12 14:24:00
Title: Hua and Ivey
Log: CK Hua makes it $22,000 to go. It's called by the player in seat #3 and Phil Ivey. The flop comes Qh-7s-5d. Hua bets out $55,000, and Ivey is the only caller. The turn is the 3d. Hua bets out $90,000 this time and Ivey calls again. The river is 4s. Both players check. Ivey shows Q-J. Hua mucks, and Ivey wins a $300,000+ pot.

Title: It Gets Worse
Log: As if the table weren't stacked enough already, #144 now houses - Phil Ivey, John Juanda, Farzad Bonyadi, CK Hua, and now Howard Lederer. Gulp.
