Bonomo Gets a Little From Ivey

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Justin Bonomo raised from the small blind, and Phil Ivey called in the big blind.

Bonomo drew one to Ivey's three, and Bonomo bet. Ivey casually flicked out a call.

Bonomo patted and had a bet out in front of him before Ivey's two cards had been dealt to him. Ivey peeked at his new holdings, then folded.

Gorodinsky Hates the River

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Three players saw an {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Spades} flop and the first two checked to Mike Gorodinsky in the cutoff. He bet and only Josh Arieh, on his right, called. Arieh check-called the {k-Diamonds} but then bet out on the {5-Spades} river.

Gorodinsky growled in frustration but forcefully placed in a chip about 30 seconds later. Arieh showed {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} for a rivered flush and took the pot.

Martini Climbing Back

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

From the button, Julien Martini bet the end with around 40,000 already in the pot and {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} on the felt. Michael Glick seemed torn in the small blind and eventually put in a call. Martini turned over {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for top two and took the pot.

After being down under 30,000 a bit ago, Martini has given himself a fighting chance again despite remaining well below the starting stack.
