Sexton Takes 3/4 of Fischman

On a board of {3-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}, Scott Fischman bets 7,000 and Mike Sexton is the only caller.

The turn is the {4-Clubs} and Fischman sets Sexton all-in.

Sexton takes a couple of minutes before calling for his whole stack.

Fischman says, "I have ace-two and a draw," turning over {A-Spades} {2-Hearts} {7-Spades} {9-Hearts} for both draws.

Sexton seems quite surprised and happy that he's ahead with {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades}. His ace-ten is currently winning the high.

The river is the {3-Spades} and Sexton takes 3/4 of the pot.

Sexton mentions afterwards that there weren't that many cards Fischman could hit.

"Just a ten..." says someone.

"Or a five..." mentions someone else.

"Or a heart..." and everyone giggles as Sexton realises he has been slightly lucky.

There's a very long pause...


"Or a deuce..."

And everyone else bursts out laughing.

Back in Black

On the river of a {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {K-Spades} board, Andy Black check-raised a bet of 2,700 for an additional 8,600 more. His opponent folds speedily enough allowing the Irishman to scoop up another pot.

Roland de Cooler

Imagine the scene: getting all your chips in with {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} on a {2-Spades} {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} board, only to find Roland De Wolfe flipping over {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} for quads. The river is the {7-Diamonds} and Roland's quads take the high and his 7-5-4-2-A gets the low also. Wolfe eliminated a player, who is surely perplexed about getting knocked out with aces full.

Ivey's Back

Having disappeared back to the Stud-8/Omaha-8 event, Phil Ivey came back to get his stack in on a {8-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} board while Andy Bloch and a third player got in a raising match and created a large sidepot.

Ivey: {9-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs}
Bloch: {A-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {8-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Third Player: {A-Spades} {2-Spades} {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds}

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river the {10-Clubs}. Ivey won the main high pot with his straight, Bloch takes the low of both pots and the third player just gets the high of the side pot.

Florian Floored!

Florian Langmann is out after he flopped top two pair with {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {K-Clubs} X (X being a card 9 or above, but it was mucked too quickly for us to see) on a {6-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} board. His opponent was holding {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} for top set and Langmann couldn't catch running low cards to make his deuce live for the low when it came {9-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} on the turn and river.
