Another Ruling

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante

Greenstein: {K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{A-Clubs} / {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Young: {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts} / {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Third Player: {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} FOLDED
Fourth Player: {Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} / {A-Diamonds}{x-}{x-}

Barry Greenstein was the bettor all the way, called down by the other players though the third player folded on fifth. On seventh, the third player's downcard was face up and a ruling had to be made, he was allowed to continue with the hand and would be penalised afterwards or alternatively he could just be "out" of the last round of betting but still be part of the main pot.

The player chose the latter and in any event, the action was checked down. Greenstein showed his kings which were still good as no-one else could show anything better.

All it Takes is One Hand an Hour Eli

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante

Elezra: {8-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} / {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} / {X-}{X-}{X-}

Eli Elezra’s opponent brought in and Elezra completed as he said “I must have a good hand...I haven’t played in an hour”. The opponent made the call and called Elezra’s bets on fourth and fifth. When the opponent paired on sixth and was first to act, he check-called Elezra’s bet and both players checked on seventh. Elezra turned over his hole cards to make a pair of aces and his one pair was good to win the hand.

World Beats Lakers

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante

Hennigan: {K-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{K-Hearts} / {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Buss: {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

John Hennigan completed and Jerry Buss called. Both players checked fourth and fifth until Hennigan paired up on sixth and bet. Buss called and again on seventh and announced “two pair”. Unfortunately for Buss, Henningan showed an unbeatable two pair and won the hand.

Broadway Again for Bumpereno

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante

Negreanu: {X-}{X-} / {3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} / FOLDED
Munley: {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs} / {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{8-Diamonds} / {x-}

Daniel Negreanu brought in and Bill Munley completed. Their opponent called as did Negreanu as Munley checked fourth which led to a bet by the opponent which both other players called. Everyone checked fifth and on sixth it was checked to the opponent who bet. Negreanu folded but Munley came back with a check-raise which the opponent called and both players checked seventh. Munley showed Broadway again to win another pot.

R-ace-ner

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante

Racener: {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} / {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Hastings: {X-}{X-} / {2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} / {X-}

We caught up with the action on fifth street where Brian Hastings check-called Racener’s bet. The action was the same on sixth and seventh and Racener turned over his hole cards which gave him a pair of aces that was good as Hastings mucked.

Clements Wins Aces vs Aces

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante

Clements: {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts} / {A-Spades}{9-}{X-}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / {A-}{X-}{X-}

Scott Clements had bet fifth and put in three bets when his opponent raised only to see the latter make it four bets. We missed the action on the sixth and seventh but Clements won when he turned over aces up to a mere pair of aces for his foe.
