[user38873]

Nível 14

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Down to the last 72,000, Paul Volpe moved all-in out of the small blind and Brian Rast asked for a count before making the call in the big blind.

Both discarded one and turned over their four-card combos.

Paul Volpe: 9x7x3x2x
Brian Rast: 9x8x4x3x

Rast went first and instantly flipped over the 6x as he improved to a made nine-eight. Volpe peeled and had a three across but the 7x paired him up to end his run in 22nd place.

The final 21 players will now be balanced across the last three tables.

Limit Hold 'em

After Talal Shakerchi raised in the cutoff, James Obst three-bet in the small blind and Shakerchi quickly called.

The flop came A♥4♠9♣ and Obst bet, which Shakerchi quickly called.

On the A♣ turn, Obst now checked and then faced a bet from Shakerchi. The chip leader went into the tank for about a minute then made the call.

The river brought the 5♣ and after another check from Obst, Shakerchi bet once more. This time he was met with a check-raise from Obst, prompting Shakerchi to quickly fold.

Ivey Jams Into Becker to Soar Up the Leaderboard

[user38873]

Nível 14

Pot Limit Omaha

In a battle of the blinds, the turn showed 9♦6♥2♥3♣ and Johannes Becker made it 164,000 to go out of the small blind for Phil Ivey to call in the big blind. That brought them to the 7♠ river and Becker moved forward a bet worth 492,000 for a large portion of his remaining stack.

"How much do you have?" Ivey inquired and glanced at his table neighbour. Ten seconds later, he announced "all-in" and that sent Becker into a world of pain. He instantly sighed and leaned back, groaning, then moved up his hoodie to stare at the board with just one eye.

The tank of Becker lasted just two minutes before he sent the cards into the muck, allowing Ivey to drag in a large pot and join the chip leaders.

Glaser Eliminated by Shakerchi

Nível 14

Pot-Limit Omaha

After Talal Shakerchi raised to 37,000 on the button, Benny Glaser put 62,000 of his remaining 64,000 chips in the middle.

Shakerchi reraised to get the last 2,000 in and Glaser called.

Benny Glaser: A♦K♣J♠5♥
Talal Shakerchi: A♠A♣6♠5♠

The K♠Q♣2♥ flop gave Glaser hope, pairing his king, but the 2♣ on the turn left Glaser needing only a king or ten to survive.

instead the dealer put the 3♠ out on the river, ending Glaser's day and bringing the field down to 22 players.

Koray Aldemir Eliminated by John Monnette

Nível 13

Razz

Koray Aldemir completed and John Monnette raised, putting Aldemir all-in for his last roughly 40,000.

Koray Aldemir: 7♦6♠3♥/Q♥10♦8♠5♥
John Monnette: 5♠4♦A♣/9♦6♠5♣2♥

Aldemir would make a respectable eighty-seven, but it wouldn't be enough to overcome the sixty-four of Monette.

Deeb Eliminated by Rast

[user38873]

Nível 13

Pot-Limit Omaha

Freddy Deeb raised the pot in the cutoff and Brian Rast three-bet the pot on the button. Deeb inquired how much he could raise to and then announced he was all-in for what appeared to be around 250,000. Rast instantly called and the cards were flipped over as Deeb inquired "do you have aces, too?"

Freddy Deeb: A♣A♥10♥6♠
Brian Rast: K♣K♠Q♥4♣

The 9♠7♥4♠ flop gave Rast more outs and he took the lead with the Q♣ turn as he made two pair. He then further improved to a set of kings with the K♦ river and sent Deeb to the rail at the end of the first level.

Paul Volpe was all-in as of fourth street with a short stack and three players remained in action. Phil Ivey was the aggressor when he bet fifth and sixth street, by which Jeremy Ausmus was also all-in as well. Freddy Deeb called the full bets of Ivey to open up a second side pot before the two active players then checked down seventh street.

Deeb flashed the 10♣6♦3♦ for queens and treys while Ausmus flashed K♣5♠4♠ for a pair of fives and missed flush draw. Ivey had the J♠J♣2♦ for aces and jacks to beat Deeb for the larger side pot and knock out Ausmus.

Volpe then revealed his Q♥10♥9♦ as he had gotten there with a king-high straight to survive.

Brutal Set-Over-Set Ends Berman's Tournament

Nível 13

No-Limit Hold'em

Picking up the action after the flop, Josh Arieh in the small blind was involved in a hand with Lyle Berman on the button. With the board reading K♥2♣10♥, Arieh led out for 60,000 only to see Berman raise to 200,000. Arieh responded by coming back over the top for 400,000. After some thought, Berman moved the rest of his stack into the middle and was quickly called by Arieh, who had the covering stack.

Lyle Berman: 10♣10♦
Josh Arieh: K♦K♠

Berman was on the wrong end of a brutal cooler and would need to get extremely lucky to survive. No help came on the 8♠ turn, with the A♦ river putting the final nail in the coffin for Berman and sending a massive pot over toward Arieh.

End of the Road for Katz

[user38873]

Nível 13

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Cary Katz was all-in with his short stack once more and faced Talal Shakerchi and Benny Glaser. Shakerchi needed one more card on the final draw while his two active opponents already exposed their cards.

Shakerchi had the 8x7x6x4x2x while Glaser's better draw had turned into a straight for his hand to be dead.

"I have an eight-six draw," Katz said as he was about to reveal his 8x6x5x4x. But while peeling, he already flashed the final card and that was an Ax as he instantly joked a "never mind" and hit the rail.
