Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul and Max Pescatori have just chopped up a huge pot.

Pescatori held the lead with his A-Q-6-3, flopping the nuts on the flop of 5-4-2. However the turn and river came A-A, and Saul made a full house with his A-2-T-5 to chop up the 15,000 pot.

Jethro Gets 3/4...Eventually

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

On a board of {A-Spades}

both Jethro Horowitz and and Sam Khouiss had flopped the wheel.

Khouiss held {J-Clubs}

however Jethro's {7-Spades}

rivered a bigger straight so he took down the high, and they split the low.

There was some confusion as the dealer struggled to divide up the pot, as Khouiss cheekily chirped to Horowitz "It's much easier online Jethro - it does it for you!"

Graeme Putt has just made an appearance for the first time today in Event 10. He has just busted out of the 2 Card Manilla Event and immediately walked over, took his seat and counted what's left of his blinded-down chip stack.

"Chop Chop"

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The cry of "chopped pot" is a very common term at the moment if you wander the tournament tables of Event 10. As me move into the first split variation, where half of the pot is awarded to the high hand and half to the low hand, many pots will be halved or even quartered between multiple players. Ideally players will be looking to "scoop" - that is, win both the high and low hands and scoop the entire pot!

Grant Levy On Life Support

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

In a six-way pot pre-flop, Grant Levy and David Bach went to showdown. The board read {10-Hearts}

and Levy held A-7-6-3 for a straight on the turn, however Bach made a full house on the river with his 6-5-4-3 to take a nice pot and leave Levy crippled.
