Mike Matusow Doubles Through David Pham

[user25067]

Stud:

Mike Matusow's table is rather close to media row and over the last half hour or so, we've heard nothing from him but how he's only won one and a half pots all night. He's now nearly doubled that number, getting all in against David Pham on third street in stud high, his kings and sevens besting Pham's deuces and treys to take his stack up to 12,000.

'The Panzer' Gets Tanked...

[user76023]

Stud-8:

Anthony Lellouche: {2-Spades}

George 'The Panzer' Danzer: {K-Spades}

We join the action on fifth street where Danzer bet 2,400. Lellouche called and a third player folded {6-?}

.

On sixth when Danzer made open queens he checked to Lellouche who checked behind. Getting seventh, Danzer checked and now Lellouche bet.

The German sighed, "There's too much money in there to pass..."

He made the call and Lellouche said, "I already had it, flipping {A-Spades}

with the

to make a low as well.

Danzer said, "You gave me a free shot at my house?"

Lellouche nodded then said, "You would call a bet on sixth?" and the German nodded vigourously.

Phil Ivey (X) (X) {A-Hearts}

(X)
David Bach (X) (X) {7-Clubs}

The

Bach turned up 7-6-5-4-2 and sent Ivey to the rail.

Mike Mouths Off!

[user76023]

Mike Matusow has been knocked out by David 'The Dragon' Pham.

Matusow: {Q-Hearts}

Dragon:

Matusow was fairly cross at all this since both a nine and a king had been folded on third by other players but somehow Matusow was one-outed on seventh.

Even the Best Get Confused

[user25067]

Stud:

Showing 2-5-6 as his upcards in a stud hand, Josh Arieh's eyes nearly bugged out of his head when the dealer moved his arm to push him the pot, giving him a better look at the game placard.

"That hand was STUD?" exclaimed a bewildered Arieh. "I thought it was Stud 8!"

"We thought that you thought it was Razz" said one of his table mates.

Arieh couldn't believe his good fortune as he stacked his chips.

Dragon Vs The Chainsaw

[user76023]

Stud-8

No, it's not the title of the latest Bruce Campbell movie, but a hand between David Pham, Hasan Habib and Allen Kessler.

Pham: {4-Diamonds}

Kessler:

Habib:

Pham raised on third with the other two calling before Habib led out on fourth, called in both spots once more. On fifth it was checked to Kessler who bet and again two more callers.

On sixth street, Pham checked his ace, Kessler bet and Habib folded with Pham calling.

Seventh went check check and Kessler showed {A-Clubs}

for a pair of eights with an 8-5-4-3-A low. Pham had him pipped though, he flipped {A-Hearts}

for aces with an 8-4-3-2-A low to scoop.

Negreanu=120K

[user25067]

Limit hold'em:

In a pot that was three-bet pre, the action was checked to Daniel Negreanu on the {J-Diamonds}

flop. Negreanu bet and both opponents called. The turn was the {7-Clubs}

. It was checked to Negreanu again and this time both opponents folded to his bet. Negreanu showed {A-Clubs}

for top pair and the nut flush draw.

Two fans were standing on the rail watching Negreanu in the hand and after he stacked up the pot, he asked them if they wanted a picture.

"Really? That would be great," said the couple.

Negreanu playfully grabbed their camera and snapped a photo of them, before posing for a picture.

Negreanu is currently up to 120,000 and is, by our estimates the chip leader.
