Negreanu Scooped by Clements and Madsen

Level 7
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Omaha Hi-Lo

The action folded to Daniel Negreanu on the button and he raised to 600. Jeff Madsen made it 900 from the small blind and Scott Clements called all-in for his last 850. Negreanu committed his final 125 and the cards were tabled.

Negreanu: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Clements: {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Madsen: {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}

"S**t hand over there!" jokingly announced Negreanu as he stood up and pointed to Clements' hand.

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{K-Spades} to see Clements make a wheel for the low as Madsen made a flush for the high to send Negreanu out the door.

Clements and Negreanu Crippled by Madsen

Level 7

Omaha Hi-Lo

Scott Clements raised to 600 and three players called; two of which were Daniel Negreanu and Jeff Madsen.

The flop fell {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Clements bet out 300 with all three players calling as the turn landed the {J-Spades} and a bet from Madsen was called by just Clements. The river landed the {4-Clubs} and Madsen bet with Clements folding.

Madsen scooped the pot and moved to 23,100 while Negreanu was left with 725 and Clements 950.

Hortin Halted in PLO

Level 7
Dylan Hortin
Dylan Hortin

Pot-Limit Omaha

Following a raise to 450 by Victor Teng, Dylan Hortin raised all in from the big blind for his last 1,525 and Teng made the call.

Hortin: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Teng: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

With Hortin the slight favorite, the {6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} board saw Teng turn the nut straight to send Hortin to the rail while also motoring Teng's stack up to 25,000 - good enough for the chip lead.

Bullock Busts

Level 7

2-7 Triple Draw

Jarrett Bullock was all in for his last 450. Bullock stood pat from the second draw onwards and made a {9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{2-} while his opponent stood pat on the final draw and tabled his {9-}{8-}{5-}{4-}{3-} to make only a slightly stronger hand then Bullock to force the local mixed game player to the rail.

Pair vs Pair Eliminates Trung Tran

Level 7

2-7 Triple Draw

The action folded round to Sam Khouiss in the small blind and he raised to 600 with Trung Tran defending his big blind. Khouiss drew one, Tran asked for three and Khouiss bet out 300 with Tran raising all in for his last 550.

Khouiss made the call and drew one again as Tran reduce his draw to two. On the final draw, both players drew one with Khouiss tabling {9-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and Tran {J-}{8-}{6-}{2-}.

Khouiss flipped over the {2-} meaning Tran needed any card in the deck that didn't pair him also. Unfortunately for the local, he squeezed out the {8-} to pair him up also and therefore see him head to the rail.
