Robl Rolls Out

[user140525]

Daniel Negreanu rails Robl at his former table.

Brett Richey raised, and Andrew Robl jammed for 21,000. Richey called, and they were on their backs.

Showdown
Richey: {9-Spades}

Robl:

The flop wasn't exactly what Robl was looking for. With the {8-Spades}

, Richey picked up a spade draw. And the {5-Spades}

on the turn sealed Robl's fate as the fourth person eliminated from his table. Richey was up to 90,000 after the hand.

Habib Gets Lucky

[user140525]

Hasan Habib moved all in for his last 9,700 from the small blind, and big blind Matt Glantz looked him up. Oops. Habib showed {6-Clubs}

to Matt's slightly more respectable {A-Spades}

. The

flop gave Habib a gutshot straight draw to go with his two live cards. The {7-Diamonds}

on the turn was no help, and he was one card from elimination. But the {5-Spades}

on the river filled Habib's straight and kept him alive for another hand.
