donpeters

Omaha/8

Jen Harman moved the last of her chips in the middle on a flop of {K-Diamonds}

against Layne Flack. Flack made the call and Harman tabled her hand, {A-Diamonds}

-X-X. Flack held {A-?}

. The turn came the {8-Diamonds}

and then the river the {3-Diamonds}

, backing Flack into a low.

Harman didn't bust, but she was still upset to only get half the pot back. "Don't worry, you still get your half." said Flack.

Tough One for Devonshire

Shamus

Limit Hold'em

A very interesting LHE hand here at the start of Level 13 between Bryan Devonshire and Kevin Iacofano.

We caught up with this one on the flop of {8-Clubs}

. Devonshire bet, Iacofano raised, and the pair ended up raising back and forth until capping. The turn was the {2-Clubs}

, Devonshire bet, and Iacofano called.

The river was the the {10-Diamonds}

. Devonshire bet, and Iacofano said "raise." As Iacofano was counting his chips, Devonshire turned his hand over -- pocket eights -- and the dealer quickly scooped up his cards (after everyone at the table had seen what they were).

"What are you doing?" said Devonshire to the dealer. Devonshire had not heard the announcement of a raise, and had thought Iacofano had just called.

The floor was called. Ultimately it was determined Devonshire's hand was still live, and he called the raise. Iacofano turned over {9-Spades}

for the rivered straight, winning him the huge pot.

Iacofano is up to 68,000, while Devonshire slips back to 14,000.

A Gift for Frangos

donpeters

Nick Frangos was just granted a gift in his eyes from one of his opponents. According to Nick, an opponent reraised all in while Frangos had pocket queens. Frangos made the call and his opponent held {K-?}

. "They were both red though." Frangos pointed out.

"I would've lost if he had a real hand." Frangos added. "An ace hit the board, a jack, if he had two jacks, hit as well."

Because of that hand, Frangos is now up to about 90,000 chips.

Tremblay Still With Chips

Shamus

Odette Tremblay started the day with just 5,925 chips, but has hung on throughout the day with the short stack. Recently she began to gather some chips, and just had a fortunate double-up in a PLO hand to move her stack up to 45,000 as we approach the dinner break -- and the cash bubble.
