Calenzo Rolled Up

Chad Holloway
Chad Holloway

Stud Hi/Lo:

Donnacha O'Dea brought it in with the {4-Diamonds} and then called after Kevin Calenzo completed with the {J-Diamonds}. Both players proceeded to check the turn before Calenzo bet fifth. Odea not only called that bet but also called when Calenzo bet his last 35,000 on sixth street.

Calenzo{J-Spades}{J-Clubs} / {J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs} / {7-Spades}
O'Dea{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} / {4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} / {K-Diamonds}

O'Dea had outs headed into seventh, but missed when he caught the {K-Diamonds}. With that, Calenzo scooped and received a much-needed double right before the dinner break.

Alright, watch real close as we will show you how a four way Stud Eight or Better hand goes down with two players all in. And we shouldn't forget to mention that there's also side pot action.

Stud Eight or Better

Greg Mueller{x-}{x-} / {3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades} / {x-}
Konstantin Puchkov{x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} / {x-}
Christopher McHugh{x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds} / {x-}
Joseph Couden{x-}{x-} / {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} / {x-}

As you can see a lot of cards were dealt, and the action started with with Christopher McHugh who brought it in for 5,000 with the {2-Clubs}. Greg Mueller raised it up to 20,000, Konstantin Puchkov made it 40,000 and Joseph Couden put in a fourth raise to 60,000. The action was now on McHugh who moved all in for his remaining 64,000. Mueller called this raise and Puchkov capped it for a total of 80,000 with just 7,000 chips left behind. Both Mueller and Couden called.

On fourth street Puchkov got his last chips in, Couden made it 20,000 and Mueller called.

When fifth street came around we had two all in players, and betting on the side. Both Mueller and Couden checked to sixth street where Couden bet 40,000. Mueller now raised it up to 80,000 and his opponent called. Seventh street was dealt down, and Couden called another 40,000.

Mueller turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for trip tens and Couden mucked his hand. Puchkov showed {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and McHugh got up out of his seat. He showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Spades} and was done. Puchkov and Mueller chopped the main pot.

McHugh got eliminated in seventh place while Couden took a big hit, and Mueller extends his chip lead. Puchkov stays alive and is still the short stack.

Chris Viox Eliminated in 8th Place ($24,188)

Stud Hi/Lo:

Donnacha O'Dea completed with the {7-Spades} and then called a raise from Chris Viox, who was showing the {A-Spades}. Viox proceeded to bet every street until he was all in for 38,000 on sixth.

Chris Viox{2-Clubs}{5-Spades} / {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} / {x-}
Donnacha O'Dea{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} / {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} / {x-}

O'Dea's pair of deuces was in the lead for the high, while Viox was looking to either pair of draw a low for part of the pot. O'Dea improved to two pair with the {3-Spades} on seventh, meaning Viox needed a low card that didn't pair him to secure half the pot. He squeezed it out and you could tell by the look on his face it wasn't low. It was the {K-Diamonds} to put an end to his day in eighth place.

It's Mueller Time!

"This is my game boys!" Greg Mueller just shouted in excitement after he just managed to win two massive pots in Limit Hold'em. Mueller has two bracelets in Limit Hold'em, and warned his opponents beforehand about his skills in this game. And he also ran quite good!

Limit Hold'em

On the first hand Mueller raised to 40,000 from the small blind and Donnacha O'Dea defended his big blind. The flop came down {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and Mueller bet 20,000, O'Dea called.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and Mueller checked to O'Dea who fired out 40,000. Mueller just called. The river was the {8-Clubs} an Mueller checked again. O'Dea fired out 40,000 and Mueller announced a raise right away. He put in 80,000 and O'Dea made the call.

Mueller tabled {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for the nut flush and O'Dea flashed his {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Both players had huge hands, but Mueller had the winning one.

Two hands later Christopher McHugh raised to 40,000 and Mueller made it 60,000 from the hijack. Action got back to McHugh who made the call. The flop came down {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and McHugh check-raised Mueller's 20,000 bet to 40,000.

Mueller made the call and the turn was the {6-Hearts}. McHugh bet 40,000 and Mueller made the call. On the river the {Q-Spades} hit the felt and McHugh bet another 40,000. Mueller decided to raise to 80,000 and McHugh called.

Mueller showed {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for a full house and raked in yet another big pot!

Mueller Doubles Through Viox

Chad Holloway

Limit Hold'em:

Chris Viox raised from early position and cleared the field all the way around to Greg Muller, who defended the big blind. The {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Spades} flop saw Muller check and Viox bet. Muller responded with a check-raise, which Viox called.

The {8-Diamonds} turn saw Mueller lead out only to have Viox raise. Muller put in the three bet, and then called off his last 8,000 when Viox four-bet.

Muller: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Viox: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}

Muller had flopped an ace-high flush and was guaranteed the double as Viox was drawing dead.

Konstantin Puchkov was under the gun and raised to 35,000, and the action got folded to Chris Viox who was in the big blind. Viox called and the flop brought out {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

Both players checked and the turn was the {J-Spades}. Viox check-called 30,000 and the river was the {10-Spades}. Both players checked and Viox showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} in order to win the pot.
