No Limit Hold’em 

Joseph Marzilli moved all in from under the gun for 16,500 and Marc Levy called from the small blind.

“You got a pair?” asked Marzilli.

Levy didn’t respond and showed AcAh. He was in the lead and in good shape against Marzilli’s 8s8h.

The board ran out 7s4s2d2hKc and Levy’s aces held up to send him the pot and eliminate Marzilli.

“I’m fighting back,” said Levy referring to the pot he lost to Mahaffey.

“Yea, there is a lot of fighting going on there,” said Jon Brody. “You got dealt aces and someone shoved on you.”

Marc Levy – 150,000
Joseph Marzilli – Eliminated

Pot Limit Omaha

There was 25,600 in the middle on the turn and a board of ThTc5h4h. Marc Levy was in the big blind and asked the dealer how much is in the pot. The dealer gave him an answer and then Levy checked.

The player in middle position bet 15,000 and Harold Mahaffey called from the hijack. Action was back on Levy and he potted it to 85,600.

Middle position moved all in for about the amount of the raise and Mahaffey moved all in for 102,100. Levy called the additional 16,500 and the cards were tabled.

Middle position showed AhJh6s6d, good for the nut flush, Levy showed 5c5s7d2h, good for fives full, but Mahaffey had everybody drawing dead with his KhQhTdTs, good for quad tens.

The river was an irrelevant 7c and Mahaffey dragged the massive pot to almost triple up and take the chip lead. The player in middle position was eliminated and Mahaffey earned an extra $200 for the knockout.

Mahaffey puts himself in a good position to make his second final table in as many days. Mahaffey finished fourth in yesterday’s $300 HORSE event for just over $2,000.

Harold Mahaffey – 305,000
Marc Levy – 106,000

Barry Pevner
Barry Pevner

Barry Pevner won his first SHRPO trophy yesterday afternoon, defeating Loni Harwood heads-up to claim the title for Event 4. During his postgame interviews, Pevner relayed a story about losing a heads-up battle against Loni’s father, Joel, back in 1999. Yesterday’s revenge was sweet for Pevner, but the Harwood family has struck back today.

There was significant multi-way preflop action for this hand, apparently beginning with a Pevner raise under the gun. Several players called before Joel Harwood squeezed all in for a bit less than 30,000 from the big blind. Pevner called all in for 10,525, and the rest of the table folded out of the way.

Pevner: KsQs
Harwood: Ah7c

The board ran out 8h5d4d9dTs, and Harwood’s ace-high earned him the pot and the knockout. Pevner was eliminated, now down 2-1 in battles against the family Harwood.

Joel Harwood – 45,000 (90 bb)
Barry Pevner – Eliminated

There are about 15 minutes left in Level 8, and the field has grown to 93 entries. There’s a break following this level, after which registration will close, so time is running out to enter this bounty field.

Things are moving along quickly, too. Another table has just been broken, reducing the crowd to 45 remaining players across five tables. More than half the starting field has already been eliminated.

Event 7: Loni Harwood’s Tournament Life Spared

$570 Double Black Chip Bounty NLH/PLO (Single Re-Entry)
Level 7: 200/400 with a 50 ante
Entries: 91

Elliott Zaydman opened to 1,300 in early position, and SHR Team member Loni Harwood defended her big blind.

The flop came Jh7c5d, and both players checked. The turn was the 5c, and Harwood led out for 2,400. Zaydman called, and the river was the 3c. Harwood bet 5,000, leaving 7,000 behind, and Zaydman moved all in with the covering stack. After maybe 90 seconds of deliberation, Harwood surrendered her cards into the muck.

“Good fold,” Zaydman said as the pot was pushed in his direction. He tabled 7s7h, showing sevens full.

“You flopped a set?” Harwood asked. “You should have bet. You would have gotten my whole stack. I had king-jack.”

Elliott Zaydman – 35,000 (88 bb)
Loni Harwood – 7,000 (18 bb)
