Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

John Racener raised from under the gun and was called only by Maxx Coleman out of the big blind. Both discarded two and Coleman bet, Racener called. They discarded one each on the second draw and checked. Coleman then patted to the one of Racener and bet.

A tank of 90 seconds followed before Racener folded.

Nível 17

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Phil Hellmuth opened to 55,000 on the button only to see Daniel Alaei raise enough out of the big blind to force him all in. After some choice words, Hellmuth tossed his hand away, preferring to pick a better spot.

Nível 17

Omaha Hi-Lo

James Obst raised on the button and got a call from Matthew Ashton in the big blind.

On the 4♥2♥3♣ flop, Ashton checked, Obst bet, and then Ashton check-raised which Obst called.

On the 4♦ turn, Ashton now bet and got raised by Obst. Ashton called and the players went to the river to see the A♥.

Ashton now check-called a bet from Obst and the players revealed their hands.

Obst showed A♦9♥6♥5♦ for a wheel, which would only get him the low as Ashton showed 7♠6♣3♦3♥ for a full house of threes full of fours.

Monnette Getting Short and Frustrated

Nível 17

Limit Hold'em

Daniel Alaei opened from under the gun and was called by John Monnette in the big blind.

Monnette checked following the 10♣7♠9♣ flop and then called after Alaei bet.

The 7♦ turn saw Monnette check for a second time. Alaei fired off another bet, this time forcing a fold from Monnette, who was left with around 160,000.

Monnette did manage to secure a double the very next hand courtesy of Alaei but his frustration was apparent during a profanity laced tirade directed towards the dealer.

Stud Hi-Lo

Maxx Coleman: XxXx / Q♥2♦6♠6♥ / Xx
Hal Rotholz: A♣A♦ / 4♥10♣8♦8♣ / 5♦

Maxx Coleman completed and then called a raise by Hal Rotholz, who wound up betting every single street after. He was called down including sixth street by Coleman and then bet in the dark even before the final down card was delivered.

Coleman reluctantly folded and Rotholz first exposed his A♣A♦ in the hole followed by the 5♦.

Hellmuth Flops a Set

Nível 16

Pot-Limit Omaha

After limps from Daniel Alaei under the gun, Marco Johnson in the hijack, and Phil Hellmuth in the small blind, John Monnette checked his big blind.

The quartet of stars saw a flop of 3♦10♦A♦ and action checked to Alaei who bet 25,000. Only Hellmuth called to see the K♠ on the turn.

Before the card was dealt though, Hellmuth checked dark and Alaei then checked back.

Hellmuth also checked the J♠ river, as did Alaei, with Hellmuth then showing Q♠3♠3♥2♥ for a flopped set of threes, which was good enough to earn a small but necessary pot.
