Famous Last Words from Mosseri

Omaha-8

David Oppenheim was all in preflop but managed to profit after winning half of a three-way pot against Annie Duke and Abe Mosseri.

Mosseri and Duke fought for the side pot, as Mosseri bet/3-bet the flop of {J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} before firing again on the {6-Hearts} turn. Duke made the call and when Mosseri checked the {10-Diamonds} river, Duke fired with a bet.

"I don't see how you can scoop me," quipped Mosseri before making the call but he was wrong as Duke showed {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a set and low.

Oppenheim revealed {A-?}{3-?} to collect half for a better low to stay alive with around 25,000 chips.

Johnny Chan Eliminated

Stud-8

Johnny Chan ({4-Clubs})({2-Spades}){8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Spades} {9-Diamonds} ({Q-Clubs})
Chau Giang ({A-Spades})({9-Spades}){2-Spades} {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} ({2-Clubs})

Johnny Chan was all in on fourth street against Chau Giang. Giang had kings up by the river and took down the pot, eliminating Chan.

Sagstrom Bests Saltzburg

Stud-8

Michael Saltzburg (X)(X) {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} (X)
Erik Sagstrom (X)(X) {4-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} (X)

We caught up to this hand on fifth street, with Erik Sagstrom leading the betting and Michael Saltzburg calling him down.

Saltzburg showed {K-Clubs} {6-Spades} {7-Spades} for two pair, kings and sevens, but Sagstrom had the best hand with {K-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} for trip aces. With neither player making a low, Sagstrom won the whole pot, taking his stack up to 228,000. Saltzburg is down to 200,000.

Hansen and Bechtel Chip Up in Big Stud-8 Pot

Stud-8

A big multi-way Stud-8 hand hand has seen four players go to the river but only two emerged with chips.

Buss: (X-X) {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} (X)
Bueno: (X-X) {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} (X)
Hansen: (X-X) {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} (X)
Bechtel: (X-X) {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{K-Spades} (X)

On fourth Pat Bueno led before Jerry Buss fired on fifth. Sixth street was checked around before things got busy on the river.

Gus Hansen was the first to bet on the river before Jim Bechtel put in a raise. Buss and Bueno were forced to fold as Hansen put in another raise. Bechtel put in a fourth bet and Hansen flat called.

Hansen: {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} ({2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds})
Bechtel: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{K-Spades} ({2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades})

Hansen made a low but his nut flush wasn't any good for the high as Bechtel collected with his full house.

Buss - 100,000
Bueno - 190,000
Hansen - 215,000
Bechtel - 245,000

Cory Zeidman Eliminated

Stud-8

Annie Duke (X)(X){Q-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} (X)
Cory Zeidman (X)(X){A-Spades} {6-Spades} {J-Spades} {6-Clubs} (X)
Patrik Antonius (X)(X){3-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {6-Hearts} {8-Hearts} (X)

Cory Zeidman was all in on third street against Annie Duke and Patrik Antonius.

Duke revealed {2-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} in the hole for queens full of deuces while Antonius showed {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for a 7-6-5-4-3 low. They split the pot and Zeidman hit the rail.

Deeb Defiant

Razz

Freddy Deeb completed and fired bets on every street until the river where the action was checked down against Joe Cassidy.

Deeb tabled {A-?}{10-?}{J-?}{8-?} ({Q-?}{8-?}{3-?}) for a jack-low but surprisingly it was good as Cassidy mucked showing {3-?}{10-?}{Q-?}{3-?} on board.

Deeb is back to 85,000 as Cassidy is now in trouble with 40,000.

Dessert Time

Hands off my ice cream!
Hands off my ice cream!
All of us up in media row are quite jealous of the frozen treat Phil Ivey is enjoying over on Table 72. Doyle Brunson in particular seems to be eyeing his ice cream...which, from our vantage point, appears to be of the chocolate chip variety.
