Rami Boukai Lookin' Solid

2-7 Triple Draw

Rami Boukai raised and Segery Altbregin called from the small blind with Dario Alioto sitting out this hand. Both players then drew two cards. Altbregin was first to act and fired a bet. Boukai called.

On the second draw, both players discarded one card. Altbregin checked and Boukai fired a bet. Altbregin got crafty with a check-raise and Boukai called.

Both players stood pat on the third and final draw. Altbregin checked and Boukai seized the opportunity to fire a bet. Altbregin folded his hand, giving Boukai the pot.

If you remember back to Event No. 10, you'll remember seeing Rami Boukai's face in the winner's photo. Boukai took home nearly $250,000 for his victory in the $2,500 PLH/PLO Event and his first gold bracelet. Surely, he'll be doing his best to wrap a second around his wrist today.

Crain Gathers a Few

Pot-Limit Omaha

Eric Crain raised to 4,000 from under the gun, Dario Alioto called from the cutoff, and Jimmy Fricke called as well from the big blind. The flop came {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. It was checked to Alioto who bet 11,000, Fricke folded, and Crain called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}. This time Crain led out for 20,000, and Alioto considered for a half-minute before letting it go.

PLO to Start

Both tables have a few hands of pot-limit Omaha left to play, then it is on to 2-7 Triple Draw.

Word is when we reach the eight-handed final table, there will be a draw to determine which of the eight games will be the first played there.

Level: 19

Almost There

Most of the players are now seated and have begun unbagging and stacking their chips. Just a few more minutes and play should begin.

Get Ready to Mix it Up

Just under an hour away from the restart of Event No. 42, the $2,500 Mixed Event in which players play eight different games: 2-7 Triple Draw, Limit Hold'em, Omaha Hi/Lo Eight-or Better, Razz, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi/Lo Eight-or-Better, No-Limit Hold'em, and Pot-Limit Omaha.

Only 14 players remain from the starting field of 412. Each is guaranteed a payday of at least $11,485, although all are eyeing that prize of $241,637 for the one who manages to gather all of the chips.

See you here at 2:00 p.m. Vegas time when cards go back in the air.
