Demetriou Slips

Level 5

Pot Limit Omaha

Harry Demetriou limped in from under the gun and Bruno Portaro followed suit from the button as Jarred Solomon completed from the small blind.

With four players active, the {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{K-Clubs} board was checked down to see Demetriou table his {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}, but it would be the unknown player's {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} from the big blind that would see him collect the pot.

"I let him get there!" stated Demetriou as he slipped to 21,000 in chips.

Solomon Ships

Level 5

No Limit Holdem

With a button raise to 800 and a call from Bruno Portaro out of the small blind, Jarred Solomon moved all in for his last 6,400.

The button quickly passed, but Portaro went into the tank for a few moments before flashing a king and folding.

"What you have?" asked Harry Demetriou to Portaro.

"King-Queen" Portaro announced.

Why you waste our time?" exclaimed Demetriou.

"I didn't have a good hand, but I had you dominated!" added Solomon as he raked in the pot to move to 8,000 in chips.

David Gorr

No Limit Holdem

PokerNews Editor-in-Chief Matthew Parvis stumbled into the poker room to catch some of the Event 5 action.

Maria Ho quickly rushed over to Parvis and grabbed his jumper from him as she is starting to feel the cold in here.

Returning to her table, she woke up to find aces and managed to dispatch of David Gorr.

Once she raked in the pot to move to 21,000, Ho rushed back over to Parvis to thank him for her new-found run good.

Morton Is The Short-Stack Ninja

Level 5

Seven Card Stud

David Morton completed and Oliver Gill made the call before check-calling a bet on fourth street. Fifth street saw Gill again check, but when Morton continued for 600, he opted to fold.

Morton: (X)(X) / {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Gill: (X)(X) / {K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{J-Hearts}

With Gill folding, Morton flashed his split queens as Gill announced he started with three diamonds.

Currently doing his best short-stack ninja impression, Morton has built his 2,700-chip stack back up to 8,800 in chips.

Steicke Scoops

Level 4

Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo

David Steicke brought-in and Jamie Pickering completed with another player and Steicke making the 300-chip call.

Steicke bet fourth and fifth streets with Pickering folding on fifth before Steicke's opponent bet out 600 on sixth with Steicke smooth-calling.

Steicke: (X)(X) / {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} / (X)
Pickering (X)(X) / {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds} (folded on fifth)
Opponent: (X)(X) / {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} / (X)

With the dealer dealing seventh street, she accidently exposed Steicke's opponent's card to reveal the {9-Hearts}. The tournament director was called over, and it was determined that he could be treated as an all-in player and therefore see no betting continue on seventh.

Steicke's opponent opted for this and tabled his {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {9-Hearts}, but was unable to collect any piece of the pot as Steicke revealed his {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} / {9-Clubs} to scoop the pot and move to 20,000 in chips.

Any Idea Bruno?

Level 4

"Get me off this table!" announced Bruno Portaro.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing?" asked Matthew Pearson from the neighboring table.

"No, not at all. I've given half my chips to him," said Portaro pointing to Harry Demetriou.

For the record, Bruno Portaro is currently sitting with roughly 23,000 in chips.

Sam Khouiss and John Caridad
Sam Khouiss and John Caridad

Razz

Ash Gupta completed to 300 and was called by John Caridad and Roy Bhasin. It would be Caridad who took the lead on the remainder of the streets firing out bets with his seventh street 600-chip bet being tossed out before he peeked down at his final card.

Gupta; (X)(X) / {6-}{9-}{4-}{Q-} / (X)
Caridad: (X)(X) / {4-}{2-}{3-}{10-} / (X)
Bhasin: (X)(X) / {6-}{J-} (folded on fourth)

Gupta made the call as Caridad tabled his {A-}{8-} / {9-} for an eight-four low. Gupta however would table his {A-}{5-} / {7-} for a seven-six low as he collected the pot to move to 28,000 while Caridad slipped to 12,000 in chips.

"You realize I bet dark on the river right?" asked Caridad.

Gupta just shrugged as tablemate Sam Khouiss uttered, "I can't see you losing this tournament!

"Sammy's made his pick, actually that's a mock!" added Caridad.
