Jan_Kores

Nível 10 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

There were four players in a pot with the flop reading . What happened after was a true chip storm.

Action was checked to hijack Mike Leah, who bet 37,500. Ivo Donev moved all in for his 78,500 from the button. Next to act was Harry Madoff, who paused for a moment before saying, "I'm all in or whatever I'm allowed." He moved his 252,500 in.

"One time, please," shouted Donev, but the action hadn't been closed yet.

Big blind Justin Bonomo seemed to be interested in joining the party. He asked how much Madoff's all-in was, then turned to Leah, asking about his remaining stack. After more than a minute, Bonomo decided to escape the shoving festival and laid his hand down.

"I'm all in," Leah instantly said, and so the three sets of hole cards were turned up.

Ivo Donev:
Harry Madoff:
Mike Leah:

"I have the nut-flush draw and a pair," Leah said, while Donev had already been whispering in reporters' ears that he had the nuts. Madoff had a wrap in addition to his middle pair.

The turn was the best possible card for Donev, improving his hand to quads and securing him a triple-up right there. The bricked Leah's outs, leaving Madoff with the hefty side pot.

Madoff asked Leah for 174,000. "I'm sorry, I can't pay you," Leah replied with a smile, having double-checked his remaining stack. Madoff had him covered by roughly 20,000, and Leah departed from the Poker Players Championship.

Justin Bonomo:
Ivo Donev:

The turn was a brick, but the river saved Bonomo in the tournament. More than that, he scored a huge double-up.

Donev stood up from his seat, saying, "You got me?" in frustration. The dealer and players at the table ensured him that he had Bonomo well covered. Donev returned to his seat, still visibly shocked by the nasty river card.

"Great fold," Tsoukernik complimented Smith.

"I don't believe you," Smith replied.

Chen Clashes With Martin, Receives One-Round Penalty

KaleGozer

Nível 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

There was big consternation over at Table 726 where Tommy Chen had moved all in. The board was reading and Jesse Martin had 67,000 in front of him. Chen had shoved for 126,500 and had exposed his hand before Martin had called off the extra chips.

Although the odds were great, Martin had not called yet, and, as Chen had exposed for the nuts, he tried to figure out if it was worth the call. Both players got in a heated argument and verbally traded insults while Martin was deciding on a call, which resulted in the floor staff coming over to calm things down.

Eventually, Martin folded his hand and Chen received a one-round penalty for exposing his cards prematurely.
