Event #42 to Start Momentarily

[user25067]
[user25067]
The start of Event #42, Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo will be delayed just a few minutes. The large turnout at the $1,000 NLHE Seniors Event necessitated the use of the Poker Pavilion for overflow tables and the floor staff is in the process of moving those remaining players to tables inside the Amazon Room. When that's done, the whole tent will be free to house the PLO8 players.

Stay tuned for all the split-pot action!

Joe Hachem Nearly Triples

[user25067]
[user25067]
On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, the big blind checked, Joe Hachem bet 125 from the cutoff, the button called and the big blind called. The turn was the {4-Spades}. The big blind checked, Hachem bet 425, the button called and the big blind called. The river was the {6-Clubs}. The big blind checked, Hachem bet 1700, the button folded and the big blind called.

Hachem showed {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}-- he caught the six on the river to give him the straight and the nut low and he scooped the pot. He was up to 11,000 after the hand.

Floor on 156!

[user25067]
[user25067]
The players at Table 156 have played perhaps 25% of the hands the rest of the field has. One of the plastic air conditioning tubes seems to be aimed straight at their felt, causing players' cards to flip over on nearly every deal.

They've been assured by the TDs that the problem is being taken care of.

Sir Scoopalot... Doesn't

[user25067]
[user25067]
On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, the button bet 200, John "sirscoopalot" Guth raised to 1,125, the button moved all in and Guth called. Guth showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for top set while the button tabled {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for an overpair, a gutshot, and the nut flush draw. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} making the button's flush and the river was the {7-Hearts}, failing to pair the board for Guth.

"Sirscoopalot" was down to 550 after the hand.
