After a preflop confrontation, Scotty Nguyen, Tom McCormic, and Kurt Wildin had all put in three bets.

McCormick showed while Wildin showed . The river was the and that would seal it for Wildin, who was eliminated from the tournament.

"At what point did you think you were beat, Scotty?" McCormic asked after the hand.

"No, baby. You had the worst hand before the flop," Nguyen replied.

"I guess you had queens or jacks then?" McCormick asked.

"I already told you, baby," Nguyen answered, sounding a little frustrated.

Nível 11 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

We came upon Ylon Schwartz betting into a pair of opponents with four to a flush and two to a wheel on his board, but he faced significant action as Joe Tehan raised him with three diamonds and three to a low, and Jyri Merivirta called.

Schwartz: /
Tehan: /
Merivirta: /

Schwartz opted to make it three bets, and both of his opponents called. He bet the river as well and got two more calls, though Tehan took some time before putting in the required chips.

"Please be a low card," Schwartz said, peeling his card.

It was, and he flipped over for an ace-high flush and an eight-five low. However, Tehan had for a six-low, and Merivirta showed . His flush went ace-king-nine-seven while Schwartz's went ace-king-nine-four, so Schwartz was left with crumbs as his opponents chopped up the huge pot.

We caught up with Jeff Madsen on a board of with more than 10,000 in the middle already. Madsen was under the gun and he was facing off against Michael Krasienko on the button. On the river, Madsen checked over to Krasienko. Krasienko bet and Madsen called. Krasienko showed and his full house was good to take down the pot.

On the very next hand, Ralph Perry opened from the hijack and was called by Madsen in the big blind.

The flop came and Madsen check-raised a bet from Perry. Perry moved all in and Madsen quickly called. Madsen was holding and he was well ahead of Perry's .

The board completed with the on the turn and the on the river and that was good enough to give Madsen the win. With that, Madsen evened out his stack a bit and is close to where he started the day.

Nível 11 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Razz

We found Andre Akkari betting into an opponent with a pair of eights on board, but Ashish Gupta wasn't deterred. He called a bet and then took the lead on fifth when Akkari caught a king.

Gupta: /
Akkari: /

Both players checked sixth, when Gupta found himself sporting trips, and Akkari checked the river as well. Gupta fired in a bet, and Akkari thought briefly before folding. Gupta showed for a nine-eight, so Akkari's fold was a good one.
