Mackey and Thater chop the low with 2-3 and each have a pair, but neither is good enough to win the high which goes to the third seat's top two pair.

Stud:

Seat 1 (X) (X) {Q-Spades}

(X)
Max Pescatori (X) (X) {Q-Clubs}

(X)
Barny Boatman (X) (X) {5-Hearts}

(X)

We picked the hand up on fourth street, the player in Seat 1 leading out with an ace showing. Max Pescatori called, Barny Boatman raised, and both players called. On fifth Seat 1 led again and both Pescatori and Boatman called. Boatman made the high board on sixth street and bet out, earning two calls. On seventh, Pescatori bet, Seat 1 folded and Boatman called.

Pescatori turned up {J-Clubs}

for a straight, but Boatman had him beat with {J-Hearts}

for a flush.

Madsen Running Good

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jeff Madsen has been doing very well so far, here's a couple of hands. First in Omaha-8 he showed {J-Diamonds}

for the second nut low plus a full house on a {2-Diamonds}

board to scoop.

Then,

Razz:

Madsen completes showing a {4-Hearts}

, gets reraised by another {4-Diamonds}

and 3-bets and is called.

Madsen: {4-Hearts}

Other player: {4-Diamonds}

On 4th street, Madsen bet and was called before getting another bet out of fifth street.

At this point the floor had to be called because the dealer had accidently dealt one burn card too many. The dealer was told to deal the next street without a burn card and Madsen bet his 6th street board getting his opponent to fold.

Madsen flashed {6-?}

not to the table, but to our eagle-eyed reporter.

No Limit:

Freddy Deeb has been knocked out during the No Limit Hold'Em round of the mixed game. There was a raise to 500 and Deeb flat-called from the cutoff, Scott Seiver made it 3,500 from the button and the original raiser folded. Deeb, after some deliberation moved all in and Seiver sighed.

Seiver made the call and flipped {A-Spades}
