Another One Down

Level 10

Dane Coltman is no longer with us. He had a 75 minute wait on the dinner break to come back and play and finds himself on the rail after the first hand back.

The hand in question was a Stud Hi/Lo game and when Rami Boukai hit three-aces it was only the low which Coltman could pick up but with bricks coming on the last couple of streets it was all over for Coltman.

Boukai Booted

Level 10

Pot Limit Omaha

They are starting to fall to the rail fast after the dinner break with Rami Boukai now also done and dusted.

Boukai was allin holding {k-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts} against Joel Ettedgi's {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades} when the board ran out {5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. The two-pair of Ettedgi would be good enough to win the pot and eliminate another player.

There are currently 13 players remaining.

CheckIng The Nuts Eli?

Level 10

Pot Limit Omaha

Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Eli Elzra has just done something he tells us he has never done before, and thats check the nuts when he didn't even realize he had them. He now swears in jest that he was going to go for the check-raise though.

Andrew Pantling put in a min-raise from the button and Elezra made the call from the button.

The flop turned over {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Elezra check-called the 3,000 chip bet of Pantling. The turn brought the {7-Spades} and with it a couple of checks. The river saw the {j-Spades} hit the felt and both players again checked.

At this point Elezra asked if his opponent beat a straight as he turned over his {8-Spades}{10-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Pantling then pointed out that Elezra had a flush. Elezra then looked and realized hrm, he did have a flush, that is before looking closer and realizing he had a straight flush.

Andy Bloch and the other players at the table then joked about Elezra getting a penalty for checking down the nuts. For your information, if he had have just smooth-called a bet with the nuts Elezra would have in fact got the very penalty they joke about.
