O'Dell Cripples Sternheimer, Then Finishes Him

[user340093]

Nível 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Frankie O'Dell: /
Philip Sternheimer: /

Frankie O'Dell fired on fifth, sixth and seventh street and Philip Sternheimer called down all the bets, conceding the pot as O'Dell showed two pair and a seven-low. Sternheimer was left with just 300 in chips and he lost them on the very next hand.

Mike Matusow and O'Dell tangled for a side pot with Matusow's board featuring a pair of threes while O'Dell had three low cards out. O'Dell made a seven-low again while Matusow had two pair, nines and threes.

Sternheimer sweated his last card, having a gutshot and a flush draw, but the river missed to bring his tournament to a close.

"Nice playing with you, Phil," O'Dell and Matusow said before Sternheimer headed to the payout desk.

Matusow's Gonna Be Rich...One Day!

Nível 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Mike Matusow: /
Frankie O'Dell: /

Frankie O'Dell was the bring-in but opted to complete. Mike Matusow called with a king showing and the two players were left to battle heads-up. Both players checked fourth street and O'Dell checked again on fifth. Matusow tossed in a bet and O'Dell mucked his cards. Matusow flashed a king in his hole cards to show that he had it.

"You had it this time," O'Dell pointed out.

"I always have it. I play my hand face up and you guys still call," Matusow replied. "I'm not like this guy over here three-betting with ace, jack, deuce. I mean, it's not terrible but I've never tried it. Maybe one day when I'm rich again, I'll try it. I will be rich again! I'm going to win this fucking tournament!"

Savage Bricks Out

[user339872]

Nível 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Matt Savage: / /
Opponent: / /

The action folded to Matt Savage who completed and the only player left was the bring-in who made the call. Savage led out on fourth and his opponent still called.

Both players checked on fifth and Savage led out again on sixth. His opponent called again and both players checked on seventh. Savage tabled for just a pair of fours and a missed low draw. His opponent showed a for a pair of fives and that was enough to scoop the pot and leave Savage on a short stack.

Elezra Eliminates Fitoussi and Wins Some More

[user340093]

Nível 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Eli Elezra: /
Bruno Fitoussi: /
Player 3: /

Bruno Fitoussi made it three-bets preflop and found two callers including Eli Elezra. Fitoussi barreled on fourth and then slid in his last 500 on fifth. All boards featured three hole cards and Elezra bet into the side pot when he spiked an open pair of aces on sixth. He got two bets out of his opponent.

Elezra had another ace in the hole and a slightly better low than the third player. Fitoussi showed what looked like a pair before heading to the rail. Elezra scooped the whole pot and climbed to 85,000 or so.

'The Mouth' Moves Over 200K

[user339872]

Nível 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Mike Matusow: /
Brian Hastings: / /
Benjamin Dobson: / /

With around 40,000 in the pot already, Mike Matusow, Brian Hastings, and Benjamin Dobson were all still alive in the hand. Matusow led out on fifth street and was called by both of his opponents.

Hastings took the lead on sixth but played it cautiously and checked. Matusow tossed in another bet and both Dobson and Hastings called again.

"I need one card to scoop everything," Matusow said as he rubbed his hands together.

On seventh, the action checked around and Matusow tabled for trip queens and both of his opponents mucked. It appears as though 'The Mouth' has just taken over the chip lead as the only player to climb over 200,000 thus far.
