Niveau 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Mercier: / /
Harman: / /

Jason Mercier check-called on every street from fourth to sixth, although he put on a very good show of seeming unimpressed about the matter. On seventh street, he check-raised, and Jen Harman called. Mercier showed for a full house, and Harman had the low with .

As the dealer was cutting out the chips to chop the pot, Harman pointed out that one stack was higher than the other. This prompted an anecdote involving the legendary Doyle Brunson.

"Once, Doyle was chopping a pot and he said to the dealer, 'Are you sure those stacks are right?'

"And the dealer said, 'Yeah, I'm sure.'

"And Doyle went, 'But are you sure?'

"And the dealer repeated, 'Yeah I'm sure!'

"And Doyle went, 'Well, in that case, I'll have that one,' and pointed towards the stack with more chips in it!"

How Many Chips Does Jen Harman Have?

MrCleverFox

Niveau 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Harman: / /
Friedman: / /

With a pile of chips scattered in front of her, Jen Harman and Adam Friedman got involved in a pot.

Harman completed, and Friedman called.

On fourth street, Harman saw her card. "I'm gonna go ahead and bet," she said. She did, and Friedman called. "I'm gonna go ahead and check," Harman said on fifth street. Friedman then bet, and Harman called. She checked again on sixth, and Friedman bet again. Harman called once more. After a check on seventh, Friedman bet again. Harman called.

Friedman showed for a low and ace-queen high. Harman showed for a pair of sevens, and that was enough to earn her half the pot.

"How much are you playing, Jen?" Jason Mercier asked.

"I bet you've got at least 50 percent more than starting stack," said Chris Klodnicki, who had just been moved to the table.

"What do you have, like a hundred?" Kassela asked.

Everyone wagered guesses about Harman's stack.

"I'm willing to take 60 to 100 against the field," Mercier said, laughing.

"I don't know how many pinks she has down there," Kassela said.

Harman then pulled out six pink chips and laid them in front of her pile. "I've got the same! Still six," she said.

After a rough count of her pile, she appeared to have just a bit over 60,000.

Lisandro Hits the Rail

MrCleverFox

Niveau 6 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Lisandro: / /
Kassela: / /
Opponent: / /

On fourth street, Jeff Lisandro bet, and he was called by Frank Kassela and one other player. On fifth street, Lisandro bet again, this time moving all in for just 900. Kassela completed it to a full bet, the other player raised, and Kassela called. On sixth, the player bet. Kassela raised, and the player called. Kassela bet once more on the river, and his opponent called.

Kassela showed for aces up and a low. The other player showed for three of a kind. Lisandro couldn't show anything to beat either of those hands, so his chips were split between his two opponents.
