Pan Scoops Kessler

Level 13

Razz

Alan Kessler: {x-}{x-}/{8-}{3-}{8-}{q-}/{k-}
Qinghai Pan: {x-}{x-}/{7-}{q-}{6-}{7-}/{x-}

Picking up the action on fifth street, Qinhai Pan bet and Allen Kessler called. Kessler bet on sixth street after being checked to and Pan called.

Both players checked on seventh street and Pan revealed {4-}{6-}{3-}.

A none-too-pleased Kessler revealed a {k-} and said, "Unbelievable. That's the only card I could lose on," and mucked.

Level 13
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

Limit Hold'em

Kao Saechao opened in the hijack and was three-bet by Shaun Deeb on the button. Action folded back around to Saechao, who called.

Saechao proceeded to check-call Deeb down. First on the {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop, then on the {5-Hearts} turn, and lastly on the {4-Hearts} river.

"Trips," Deeb announced as he tabled {5-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Saechao mucked and Deeb scooped the pot.

James Woods

Omaha Hi/Lo

Three ways on a {3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop, James Woods led out from the big blind. Dan Heimiller folded from under-the-gun and the player in the hijack called.

Woods fired on both the {7-Clubs} turn and {j-Hearts} river and was called down.

Wood tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for aces-up and the nut low and his opponent mucked — conceding the pot to Woods.

Omaha Hi/Lo

Four ways in a raised pot preflop, Jason Somerville bet from the small blind on a {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop and was called by three players in the big blind, under-the-gun, and in the cutoff respectively.

The {a-Diamonds} came on the turn and Somerville bet again. All three of his opponents quickly folded and Somerville showed that he held {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a wheel as he scooped the pot.

Vitch Makes The Right Call

Level 11

Limit Hold'em

Three ways on a {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop, the player in the big blind led out for a bet and was called by Chris Vitch in early position and Vasilios Christakos in the cutoff.

It was checked to Vitch on the {q-Clubs} turn, who bet. Christakos then raised and only Vitch called.

Vitch checked to Christakos on the {4-Clubs} river, who bet — sending Vitch into the tank.

Vitch eventually put out a reluctant call and Christakos tabled {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for top pair. Vitch revealed {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for the same hand and they split up the pot.

Vitch let out a "Whew!" as he collected his share and Christakos responded, "I thought I was good after taking so long!"
