Barnum Bamboozled

No Limit Hold'em

Travis Klein opened a recent hand to 600 from early position. Justin Barnum was willing to pay to see a flop and made the call from middle position. The rest of the table folded and it was heads up to the flop.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Klein fired out for 600. Barnum countered by raising it up to 1,900. Klein's response was to three-bet to 5,900 and Barnum moved all in. The shorter stacked Klein made the call and was at risk.

Klein: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Barnum: {5-}{5-}

Klein was going to need a club or a four to stay alive in this tournament and received no such luck on the {j-Spades} turn. However the river {6-Clubs} did indeed give Klein the flush and the winning hand. Barnum now sits around 7,000 in chips.

No Limit Hold'em

The board read {6-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Phil Ivey took his time before opting to check. Huck Seed was next to act and he took a few moments himself, before putting out a bet of 1,400.

The table played the waiting game again, seeing if Ivey would make the call or not. In the end though Ivey measured out the call, and held the necessary chips in his hand. Ivey pump faked a few times with his hands in the air making airplane noises before dropping the chips in the pot with a smile on his face.

Seed flipped over {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, and Ivey put his hands up in the air with a "oh well" hand gesture and mucked his cards.

Booth Busted

Limit Hold'em

We don't know exactly how the action went, but we know a short stacked Brad Booth was all in and at risk.

Booth: {A-}{j-}
Opponent: {3-}{3-}

We don't know when they got it in, but we know the board ran out {k-}{9-}{8-}{4-}{8-}. Booth calmly said "no choice" and got up and left the table.

Mizzi Moving Up

Limit Hold'em

It was battle of the blinds as Sorel Mizzi bet out from the small blind preflop. The big blind called and both players were witness to a {2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. It was here that Mizzi bet out and was called.

The {6-Hearts} on the turn was the same thing, with Mizzi betting out and the big blind making the call.

The river {7-Spades} though wasn't exactly the same with the big blind folding after Mizzi bet out.

Glantz Comes Up Short

Limit Hold'em

The flop read {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and a player in early position bet out and Matt Glantz made the call. The {5-Clubs} on the turn saw a repeat of action with Glantz calling another bet.

The {4-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and both players did the same thing. Glantz's opponent then flipped over {K-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} which was seemingly good enough, as Glantz dropped his cards in the muck.
