The Matador Razzes Morad

Razz

Qushqar Morad{x-}{x-} / {6-}{2-}{7-}{k-} / {x-}
Carlos Mortensen{x-}{x-} / {5-}{4-}{7-}{6-} / {x-}
Shawn Buchanan{x-}{x-} / {a-}{k-} (FOLDED)

We reached the table on fourth street, where Morad tried to bet out of turn. There was a moment of confusion, and then Mortensen and Buchanan checked to Morad, who then legally bet. Only Mortensen called.

Mortesen check-called another bet on fifth, and the action checked around on sixth and seventh. Mortensen tabled {k-}{7-}{2-} for a seventy-six, and Morad mucked.

Bach Building

Stud

When we came to Table 554, David Bach and Gregory Jamison were involved in a hand of stud and it was already on fifth street.

Bach: {x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} / {x-}
Jamison: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{2-Hearts} / {x-}

Jamison led with a bet on fifth street and Bach raised it up. A call from Jamison and the two players would check sixth street. Another check on seventh and the two players turned their hands over.

Jamison announced that he had just a four, tabling his {4-Spades}. Bach then showed {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, enough to take down the pot.

Friedman Fried

Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

Adam Friedman has already tasted success at this year's World Series of Poker, taking down the bracelet in Event 15: $5,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split.If he wants a similar result soon, it won't be here in today's H.O.R.S.E event.

We weren't there to catch all the action, but we can confirm that Friedman was all-in on third street of a Stud hand, showing a {3-}. Freddy Deeb was his opponent in the hand and while Friedman ended up making jacks-up on sixth street, Deeb made aces-full on seventh to send Friedman home.

Deeb Keeps Alive in Hold'em

Hold'em

Freddy Deeb opened the action on the button, Scott Clements called from the small blind and Jon Spinks called from the big blind. The flop fell {2-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The turn came {3-Hearts}, Clements checked, Spinks bet and Deeb raised - which put him all in. Clements got out of the way and Spinks called.

Deeb: {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Spinks: {K-} {X-}

The river came {K-Diamonds} and Spinks folded so fast we couldn't catch his second card. Deeb stayed alive with trip queens but is still short stacked.

Dan Dazzling Early

Dan Shak
Dan Shak

Stud 8

Dan Shak started the day with a relatively short stack, but that has changed during these early stages and we were there recently to catch a hand he took down.

It was fourth street by the time we got there and Shak was in the hand against one opponent.

Shak: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts} / {x-}

Shak led on fourth street and his opponent called. Both players then checked fifth street. On sixth street, Shak was checked to and he then fired out a bet. The player called and thee seventh card was dealt. Again the player checked to Shak and he fired out a bet. Another call and Shak tabled his {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}, giving him a flush for the high, an eight-six for the low and enough to scoop the pot.

Benson Binks the Double

Limit Hold'em

Gary Benson was down to just a few big bets on a recent round of Limit Hold'em and here is what happened during that hand. Benson was in early position when he looked at the limits on the tournament clock, before studying his own stack. He then raised up the pot. All the players folded until it was on the small blind, who raised it up. Benson then made it another bet to go and his opponent called.

Flop: {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

On the flop, the small blind led out and Benson committed his last chips - 100 more than a small bet. The small blind called and the two players turned their hands over.

Benson: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

When the dealer flipped over the turn ({6-Spades}) and the river ({10-Spades}), it was a handy little double-up for Benson.
