Play Begins to Slow Again

Earlier we saw several bustouts right in a row. Since that point, play has slowed down quite a bit. With only 21 players left, thoughts are beginning to shift to making the final table. As a result, some players are playing tighter than they have up to this point and some of the shorter stacks are planning their time to strike to try and build some chips.

Marcel Knows All

Razz:

Every street was bet in a hand between Kevin Saul and Marcel Luske. On the river, Luske showed ({10-?} {6-?} {4-?} ){A-?} {8-?} {Q-?} for a ten. Saul showed ({J-?} {8-?} {2-?}){Q-?} {2-?} {A-?} {5-?} for a jack.

Luske slapped the table and said, "How do I know?"

Voertmann Makes Amazing Call

Omaha-8:

With five overcards on the board and no low hand, Jens Voertmann has just made an amazing call holding only pocket fours against JJ Hazan. Remarkably the fours were good as Hazan showed A-2-2-3.

"How can you call there? I had the only hand you beat!" questioned a shocked Hazan as Voertmann tried to explain his reasoning to the table!

Rodman Takes a Boat Ride

Stud:

Tom Schneider made it two bets to go on third street and Blair Rodman made the call. Schneider proceeded to bet out on both fourth and fifth street, and Rodman called each time. On sixth street, the board were as follows:

Rodman: {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Schneider: {K-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

Rodman bet out with his pair of queens and received a call. On the river, Rodman bet out again and Schneider made yet another call. Rodman showed ({Q-?} {J-?} {10-?} ) for queens full. Schneider mucked.

After the hand Rodman is up to 145,000 chips, while Schneider is down to 47,000.

Tsodikov Makes Quads On 4th Street

Stud:

Steve Zolotow was the bring-in and Rostislav Tsodikov limped showing an eight. Every one else folded and the two players went to fourth street. Tsodikov paired his eight and bet out. Zolotow checked his hole cards and folded saying, "I better fold in case he has four eights!"

This drew a chuckle from the table, but not as much as when Tsodikov flashed the other two eights in the hole as he did indeed have quad eights!

Unfortunately for Tsodikov the excitement of the hand was bigger than the pot!
