A Calm Settles

The mood is relaxed and calm as the players begin the long trek toward a final table of 8. It's important to pace yourself in these things.

Baxley in Action

Hold'em:

Michael Baxley is all in preflop and doubles up with {K-?}{Q-?} versus the {A-?}{A-?} of Floyd Alexander. There was a K on the flop and a Q on the turn. Baxley has 2,000 and Alexander is down to 17,000.

Hachem vs. Sexton

Omaha-8:

In a battle of the blinds, Keith Sexton limps from the small blind and Joe Hachem raises. Sexton calls.

The flop is {10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Sexton checks. Hachem bets and Sexton calls.

The turn is {Q-Diamonds} and both check.

The river is {J-Hearts} and Sexton checks. Hachem bets and Sexton calls.

Hachem shows {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} and is up to 39,000. Sexton is down to 22,000.

Three Straight Razz for Hachem

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem
Razz:

Joe Hachem: ({A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}){2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Keith Sexton: x-x / {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} (muck)

Hachem bet on every street and Sexton called, then mucked when Hachem showed A-2-4-5-9.

Hachem said this is the third hand of razz today, and the third hand of razz that he's won. He lost a big pot in Omaha-8 just now when he ran into a set of deuces, and he's coming back from that. Hachem has 41,000 to 18,000 for Sexton.
