Hennigan Hits Double

[user162117]
[user162117]

Omaha 8

John Hennigan and Andrew Brown took to a {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop during a hand of Omaha 8. On the flop, Hennigan check-called a bet from Brown and the {k-Hearts} turn was dealt. Hennigan led here and then Brown put in a raise - enough to put Hennigan all-in. Hennigan made the call and the two players turned their hands over.

Hennigan: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Brown: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The {q-Diamonds} river and Hennigan's hand would be strong enough to double.

David Bach - 14th Place
David Bach - 14th Place

David Bach started the day as second on the chip leader board, but that changed very quickly as he lost chunks of stack in the first level. Early here in the second level and Bach has been eliminated in 14th place.

We weren't at the table to catch the action, but noticed Matt Waxman was raking in plenty of new chips. We asked him what happened and Phil Hellmuth chimed in, "Mr. Waxman here hit what we in the industry call four-of-a-kind."

Waxman then filled us in that Bach opened under the gun in a round of hold'em and Waxman defended in the big blind. The board ran out {8-}{5-}{3-}{5-}{5-} and Bach got the remainder of his stack in on the turn. Waxman held {k-}{5-} and Bach {a-}{j-}, with Waxman's hand plenty enough to send Bach to the rail.

Sokoloff and Brown Doing Fine

Razz

Paul Sokoloff and Andrew Brown started the day as two of the shortest stacks, but that has changed recently as both of them are sitting behind fairly healthy stacks. Those two recently took part in a Razz hand that went like this.

Sokoloff: {x-}{x-} / {4-}{2-}{9-} (FOLDED)
Brown: {x-}{x-} / {5-}{2-}{4-}

After the bring-in flicked out a chip with a {k-} showing, Brown completed with the {5-} showing. Sokoloff made the call. On fourth street, Sokoloff bet and Brown called. On fifth street, Brown bet and Sokoloff thought hard before letting his hand go. "I just laid down a big one," Sokoloff said as Brown raked in the pot.

Omaha 8

Abe Mosseri raised from middle position and Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind. Scott Clements called from the big blind and the flop came down {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

On the flop, Hellmuth led out and Clements raised. Mosseri folded and then Hellmuth reraised. Clements reraised all in and Hellmuth called.

Clements: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Hellmuth: {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The turn was the {10-Clubs} to give Clements a flush and the river was the {K-Clubs}. Clements doubled up is back to 240,000 in chips.

Razz

Andrew Brown: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} / {x-}
Phil Ivey: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} / {x-}

Action was checked by both players on fourth street and then Andrew Brown did the leading on fifth and sixth, with Phil Ivey calling both times. On seventh street, both players checked.

Ivey turned up the {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and a ninety-eight and Brown mucked his hand.

John Hennigan Eliminated in 13th Place ($23,525)

John Hennigan - 13th Place
John Hennigan - 13th Place

John Hennigan had a bad start to the day and has been the short stack for the last level or so. He recently saw his tournament life end in 13th place during a hand of Razz.

Hennigan was all-in against Paul Sokoloff and the cards were dealt face up from fourth street. Hennigan quickly flipped his cards into the muck as Sokoloff hit his {a-}{4-}{5-}{6-}{7-} on sixth street. Hennigan couldn't manage even close to that and made his way home.

At What Point, John?

[user162117]

"At what point did you like your hand, sir?" Paul Sokoloff asked John Monnette.

At this point in time a Stud Eight-or-Better hand had played out, with Sokoloff tabling his {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}{a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} (in no particular order) at showdown. Monnette had {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs} out on the board and mucked his hand, giving Sokoloff no response. And with that, the big pot was sent to Sokoloff.
