Monnette Takes a Chunk from Hellmuth

Omaha 8

Phil Hellmuth limped in from the small blind, John Monnette raised out of the big blind, and Hellmuth called. The dealer fanned {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, and Hellmuth check-raised Monnette. Monnette called.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and Hellmuth slowed down, check-calling a bet. The {9-Hearts} completed the board, and Hellmuth check-called one last bet. Monnette tabled {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for an ace-high flush, and Hellmuth showed two aces before angrily mucking his hand.

Abe Mosseri  & David "Bakes" Baker
Abe Mosseri & David "Bakes" Baker

Abe Mosseri barely had a leg to stand on when he got his stack all-in during a round of Omaha Eight-or-Better. It was against David Bakes Baker, who opened up the hand in question with a raise from under the gun. Mosseri was in the big blind and committed his last chips, with the two players turning their hands over.

Mosseri: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Baker: {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{5-Spades} board was no help to Mosseri, with Baker managing to scoop up the pot to send Mosseri home in 6th place for a $75,511 score.

Omaha 8

From the cutoff seat, Phil Ivey raised. Phil Hellmuth called from the big blind and the flop came down {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Hellmuth checked and Ivey bet. Hellmuth called.

Just as the dealer was finished burning, Hellmuth announced a check. The {J-Clubs} landed on the turn and both players checked. The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and Hellmuth check-called a bet from Ivey.

Hellmuth turned over the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for the ace-high flush and Ivey mucked his hand.

Razz

Phil Ivey brought it in with a {j-} up, and the action folded to John Monnette, who completed with a {6-}. Having less than two big bets, Ivey raised, putting most of his stack at risk, and Monnette re-raised all in. Ivey called.

Ivey tabled {7-}{4-}, Monnette {9-}{2-}, and the boards ran out like this:

Ivey: ({7-}{4-}) / {j-}{j-}{7-}{3-} / {x-}
Monnette: ({9-}{2-}) / {6-}{10-}{q-}{3-} / {7-}

Ivey never flipped over his downcard, rather he left the mothership to go play in Event 35: $2,500 Mixed Hold'em.

Hellmuth and Baker Play Razz

Level 25

Razz

Phil Hellmuth and David Bakes Baker just took part in a couple of Razz hands with each other and this is how they played out. Here's the first one.

Paul Sokoloff: {x-}{x-} / {6-}{3-}{9-} (FOLDED)
David Bakes Baker: {x-}{x-} / {7-}{a-}{7-} (FOLDED)
Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {2-}{3-}{6-}

Sokoloff completed with his six, Baker made the call and then Hellmuth raised it up. Both Sokoloff and Baker called. Fourth street would see Hellmuth lead and both opponents call, while fifth street would see Hellmuth fire again, but this time get two folds. This leads us to the second hand.

David Bakes Baker: {x-}{x-} / {9-}{q-}{3-}{10-} / {x-}
Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {6-}{6-}{2-}{j-} (FOLDED)

Hellmuth completed after Baker was the bring-in. Baker called and then on fourth street, check-called a bet from Hellmuth. On fifth, Hellmuth led and Baker called, while sixth would see Baker lead and Hellmuth go into the tank. Eventually he folded and Baker took down the pot.

Baker Booming

Level 25

Stud

David Baker has managed to take down another pot, this time during a Stud hand and against none other than John Monnette.

Monnette: {x-}{x-} / {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades} (FOLDED)
Baker: {x-}{x-} / {j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Monnette was the bring-in during this hand and then called when Baker completed. Baker then lead on fourth, fifth and sixth street, getting calls from Monnette on fourth and fifth. On sixth however, Monnette thought long and hard before letting his hand go, sending the pot to Baker.
