Bevand, Danzer Chop

[user76023]

George Danzer was faced with an all-in of about 33,000 on a {K-Diamonds}

board from Manuel Bevand. Danzer was out of his chair clearly counting out his percentages in his head. After a couple of minutes he called with {A-Hearts}

for aces and the nut low draw.

Bevand turned over {K-Hearts}

for top set no low draw.

When the {8-Hearts}

appeared on the turn, Danzer allowed himself a little fistpump as he made the low and was now freerolling the other two aces in the deck for the high. The river was the {9-Diamonds}

though and like most pots today, or Homer Simpson's regular dinner choice, it's time for a chop.

Negreanu Sliding Down...

[user76023]

Daniel Negreanu is down to about 10,000 after losing consecutive pots.

He had min-raised preflop with Michael Binger and the big blind coming along.

The flop was {K-Clubs}

and the big blind led for 3,600 (pot) after Binger checked, Negreanu called and Binger folded.

On the {J-Diamonds}

turn it was checked to Negreanu who now bet the pot, instantly getting called before the river {2-Spades}

went check, check. The big blind showed {A-Clubs}

for a huge flop hand and his aces up were now good on the river.

In the second hand Negreanu called 3,000 from the same player on the turn of a {8-Spades}

board before both checked the river. Negreanu was shown {Q-Clubs}

this time and mucked again.

Florian Floored!

[user76023]

Florian Langmann is out after he flopped top two pair with {A-Clubs}

X (X being a card 9 or above, but it was mucked too quickly for us to see) on a {6-Clubs}

board. His opponent was holding {A-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}

on the turn and river.

Ivey's Back

[user76023]

Having disappeared back to the Stud-8/Omaha-8 event, Phil Ivey came back to get his stack in on a {8-Clubs}

board while Andy Bloch and a third player got in a raising match and created a large sidepot.

Ivey: {9-Diamonds}

Bloch:

Third Player: {A-Spades}

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.

Roland de Cooler

[user76023]

Imagine the scene: getting all your chips in with {A-Spades}

on a

board, only to find Roland De Wolfe flipping over {2-Hearts}

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.
