Schmejkal Takes the Lead

The last quarterfinal match between Vanessa Rousso and Ernst Schmejkal continues
The last quarterfinal match between Vanessa Rousso and Ernst Schmejkal continues

Vanessa Rousso limped from the button, and Ernst Schmejkal checked. The flop came {7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Schmejkal bet 14,000, and Rousso called.

The turn brought the {6-Spades}. Schmejkal bet 35,000 this time. Rousso thought for about a minute, rechecked her cards, then pushed out a raise to 85,000. Schmejkal quickly called.

The river was the {5-Diamonds}. Schmejkal checked this time, and Rousso grabbed some green (25,000) chips and set them to one side. She leaned forward and asked how much Schmejkal had left -- about 650,000. She then bet 150,000

At that Schmejkal sat back and exhaled. But he didn't take too long to call. Rousso very quickly flashed her cards -- {J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, a busted flush draw. Schmejkal tabled {8-Spades}{5-Spades} for the straight, and took the pot.

With that one Schmejkal takes the lead back from Rousso for the first time since we began. He has about 1,000,000 to Rousso's 920,000.

Chop It Up

Vanessa Rousso entered the pot with a raise on the button to 26,000 with Ernst Schmejkal making the call.

The {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop fell down and Schmejkal check-called a 31,000-chip bet as the {2-Clubs} and {A-Clubs} was checked through by both players on the turn and river.

Rousso tabled her {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and Schmejkal his {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} to see the pot chopped up.

Quiet, Patient Play in Rousso-Schmejkal Match Continues

Team PokerStars pro Vanessa Rousso and her opponent, Ernst Schmejkal of Germany, have both been relatively patient thus far, with Rousso having steadily chipped up now to just over 1.2 million to Schmejkal's 710,000.

Rousso, a.k.a. "Lady Maverick" on PokerStars, and Schmejkal -- a.k.a. "Trader" online -- have been mostly quiet at the table thus far. And with the bleachers surrounding the feature table also being only sparsely filled, it is a solemn-seeming scene, with only the soft sound of chip-riffling by both players filling the space.

Faraz Jaka Eliminated in 5th Place (tie, $92,580); Ayaz Mahmood Moves On to Semis

Faraz Jaka - eliminated in quarter finals
Faraz Jaka - eliminated in quarter finals

Ayaz Mahmood opened to 72,000 from the button only to have Faraz Jaka move all in for 216,000 from the big. Mahmood made the call and we were off to a showdown.

Jaka: {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Mahmood: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out a rather undramatic {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs} to see Jaka eliminated in equal 5th place for a $92,580 payday as Mahmood progresses to the final four.

Ayaz Mahmood will now face off with Jason Somerville in the semi finals; which has just been moved forward to 6:00 pm PST, depending on the duration of the final match.

Jaka Sliding

Ayaz Mahmood opened to 33,000 from the button only to have Faraz Jake bump it to 83,000 from the big blind.

Mahmood made the call as the dealer spread the {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop to see Jaka lead out for 80,000.

Mahmood moved all in and Jaka instantly-folded to see Jaka slip to 280,000 in chips as Mahmood climbs to 1,640,000.

Schedule for Semis

The original plan was to start the semifinals at 7 p.m. local time -- a little under three hours from now -- although it sounds like they'll bump that up to 6 p.m. should our remaining two matches end relatively soon.

Better Straight for Schmejkal

Ernst Schmejkal
Ernst Schmejkal

In one of the last hands of the previous level (5,000/10,000 blinds), Ernst Schmejkal opened with a raise to 22,000, and Vanessa Rousso called. The flop came {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Rousso checked, Schmejkal bet 21,000, and Rousso called. Both then checked the {J-Spades} turn.

The river was the {K-Diamonds}. Rousso checked, and Schmejkal took his time before betting 60,000. Rousso called, tabling {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for the bottom end of the straight. Schmejkal had {Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, though, and took the pot.

Schmejkal chips back to 820,000, still behind Rousso's 1.1 million.

Rousso Still Leads, Schmejkal Battling

With the board showing {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and about 100,000 in the middle, Vanessa Rousso bet 50,000, and Ernst Schmejkal called. The river brought the {J-Hearts} and another 50,000 bet from Rousso. Schmejkal thought a moment, then tossed two green (25,000) chips out for the call.

Rousso tabled {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, while Schmejkal showed {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Schmejkal's hand was best, and he took the pot.

Rousso still holds the advantage, however, with 1.265 million to Schmejkal's 655,000.
