Trigeorgis Takes It on the Turn

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Big O

In a battle of blinds, George Trigeorgis and Anthony Arvidson were on the turn reading {Q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. There was 25,000 lying in front of Arvidson who was in position. Trigeorgis, however, had pushed forward 78,000. Arvidson took his time but there was no river card exposed as he decided to let it go.

Big O

John Hennigan opened the cutoff to 9,000 and both Chris Vitch and Chris Klodnicki called in the small and big blind respectively.

The flop landed {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and action checked to Hennigan who bet 20,000.

Vitch announced a raise to pot of 87,000 and Klodnicki quickly folded. Hennigan hesitated for a little, and then mucked his hand.

Ross Doubles with Wheel, Busts Shortly After

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Mike Ross was in the big blind, stuffing in his 19,100 over Jimmy Fricke's button-raise. Fricke called off and both drew two on the first draw.

Ross received a seven and immediately spiked the nuts. Fricke was drawing dead on the last draw and Ross scored a vital double.

Nonetheless, the East Coast Mike tried to spin his way further up in the same round but he'd eventually lose all of his chips and headed for the payout desk.

Fricke Wins a Monster Pot

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

"I'll let you guys torture each other," said short-stacked Mike Ross, selecting the new game.

And those proved to be prophetic words. On the very first hand, Sachin Bhargava raised to 10,500 in the cutoff, earning a call from Jimmy Fricke in the small blind.

Fricke took two and Bhargava changed one. Fricke check-called 20,000 and discarded one on the second draw. Bhargava patted and announced he was betting the pot, making it 64,000. Fricke thought he had fewer chips than that so only called and no bets were made on the last street.

Fricke patted and Bhargava was in trouble, changing his plan and broke a nine, drawing one.

Fricke turned up {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-} and Bhargava couldn't peel a better hand. The massive pot went Fricke's way who suddenly rocketed to 200,000.

Stud Hi-Lo

Catching the action on fifth street, Josh Arieh called all in against James Woods.

Arieh: {7-Clubs}{4-Spades} / {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Woods: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} / {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

On sixth street, Woods caught the {4-Hearts} to make a flush and a low, and when Arieh caught a brick, he would be drawing dead and consequently eliminated in 23rd place.

Zheng Survives

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

From the button, Xunen Zheng raised to 12,000 and Curtis Phelps put him all in for his last 600 on top. Zheng called, and the cards were tabled.

Zheng: {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Phelps: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts} to see Phelps make a straight, and Zheng make a low, and this pot would be chopped up.
