Sherkhan Farnood 295,000
Ivo Donev 255,000
After a dogged performance that would have made Rocky look like a quitter, Jeff Duvall has finally bellowed out a few swan-related lyrics and exited in the fourth spot.
After a bet and two calls on a
flop (I didn't catch who the aggressor was), all three players checked the 
turn before Duvall led for 16,000 on the 
river. Lederer made it 32,000, Sherkhan Farnood stepped out of the way, and Duvall called all in.As The Professor revealed
for an A-2-4-6-7 low and a rivered nut flush, Duvall simply nodded his head and said, "That's good."With Duvall de-saddled, three remain.
Jeff Duvall limped in from the cutoff, Howard Lederer raised from the button, Ivo Donev called and Duvall called. The flop was
. The action was checked to Lederer, who bet. Donev called, Duvall raised, Lederer reraised, Donev flat-called, Duvall raised all in for 1,000 more than the call, and both Lederer and Donev obliged. Betting continued on the side between Donev and Lederer. The turn was the
. Donev check-called Lederer's bet. Same story on the 
river. The hands:
Donev:
Lederer:
Duvall:
Lederer took the high half of the main pot and the high half of the side pot, while Duvall took the low half of the main and survived his all-in. Donev got the low half of the side pot.
Howard Lederer check-called bets of 8,000, 16,000, and 16,000 from Ivo Donev on a
board, before being shown 
and mucking.Donev is now hovering around the 300,000 mark.
Howard Lederer raised from the button, Ivo Donev three-bet from the big blind and Lederer made the call. The flop was
. Donev check-called a bet from Lederer. The turn was the 
. Donev check-called again. The river brought the 
. Donev checked a third time but on this occasion, Lederer checked behind. Donev showed
for a full house and Lederer mucked.
Sherkhan Farnood 221,000
Ivo Donev 163,000
Jeff Duvall 113,000
I joined the action with Jeff Duvall check-raising Howard Lederer's bet of 16,000 on a
board to 32,000. Lederer made the call. On the river, Duvall checked, Lederer led for 16,000 and Duvall made the fold, albeit after a lengthy dwell.Jeff Duvall is down to 170,000.
Duvall: (X) (X)
(X)Farnood: (X) (X)
(X)Donev: (X) (X)
Jeff Duvall brought it in, Sherkhan Farnood completed, Ivo Donev called, and Duvall called as well. On fourth street Farnood bet out, Donev folded, and Duvall called. Fifth and sixth streets brought bets from Duvall and calls from Farnood. Both players checked seventh street.
Farnood showed
in the hole and his pair of kings was good enough to scoop the pot.
Jeff Duvall called bets on virtually every street before chopping up the following hand with short stack Sherkhan Farnood.
Farnood =
with for two pair.Duvall =
with 
for a low to the eight.Duvall -- 220,000
Farnood -- 170,000
Split pots seem to be the order of the day at the moment.
