Abrams Takes One from Ivey

With five players in the hand, the dealer spread {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for the flop. Phil Ivey bet out, Scott Abrams called, and two other players called as well. The turn was the {j-Clubs}, and Ivey bet out again. This time, Abrams raised. The other players in the hand both folded. Ivey called, then checked the {3-Spades} river. Abrams bet out. Ivey thought for a moment, then released his hand.

Selbst Survives With a Chop

Level 3

We arrived at the table with the board reading {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} and action was on Vanessa Selbst in the big blind. With a bet and raise from two opponents after her check, Selbst called all in for 1,200. The original river bettor raised again, resulting in a call from the original river raiser.

The bettor showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for eights full of sevens with an 8-7 low, while the raiser tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} for eights and sevens with a better 8-7 low. Selbst survived with {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a 7-6 low.

Soulier Scooped, But Still On Top

Level 3

Four players saw a {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and Joe Kuether checked from the small blind. Elie Doft bet from the big blind and was called by Yuval Bronshtein who was under the gun. Fabrice Soulier raised from the hijack, chasing out Kuether. Doft and Bronshtein called to see the {7-Clubs} turn which was checked around.

The {10-Clubs} river completed the board and Doft checked. Bronshtein bet and was called by both Soulier and Doft.

Bronshtein tabled {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{K-Spades}{K-Hearts} for the second-nut low, Doft showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for two pair, and Soulier mucked.

Though that hand knocked Soulier down to about 22,000, he chipped up above 30,000 since then.
