Event 7: Darryll Fish Eliminated by Richard Becker

$570 Double Black Chip Bounty NLH/PLO (Single Re-Entry)
Level 10: 400/800 with a 100 ante
Players Remaining: 29 of 94

A player in middle position opened to 2,000, Richard Becker called on the button, Joel Harwood called in the small blind, and Darryll Fish defended his big blind to create four-way action.

The flop was AhKc2h. Harwood checked, Fish moved all in for 6,900, and only Becker called to put him at risk.

Fish: QhJhTc4s
Becker: AcQcJd6s

Becker’s lead held as the 5c turn and Kd river completed the board. He won the pot with aces up, eliminating Fish in the process.

Richard Becker – 40,000 (50 bb)
Darryll Fish – Eliminated

Jacquelyn Scott (Fort Lauderdale, FL)
Jacquelyn Scott (Fort Lauderdale, FL)

Only 46 players remain in the fourth flight of Event 5 and we expect that number to be chopped in half over the next 90 minutes before they bag up.

Jacquelyn Scott, the 2015 WSOP Ladies Champion, is making her first appearance during this series and trying to get through her first flight on one bullet. She’s short at the moment but there’s one last flight nearby if she needs it.

Event 7: The Pevner/Harwood Fued Continues

$570 Double Black Chip Bounty NLH/PLO (Single Re-Entry)
Level 8: 250/500 with a 75 ante

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

2016 SHRPO Matt Yorra double

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)
