Rouhani Hangs In There

Farzad Rouhani was down to mere shrapnel when he moved all in under the gun, and the big blind called him without any hesitation.

Rouhani: {A-?} {3-?} {4-?} {7-?}
Big blind: {Q-?} {J-?} {10-?} {3-?}

Board: {9-?} {8-?} {6-?} {K-?} {3-?}

Rouhani moved on up to 7,200 and was immediately moved to another table where he's currently seated next to Mel Judah.

Pescatori Takes Care of Brunson

Todd Brunson's imposing presence has been removed from the Orange section of the Amazon Room, courtesy of Max Pescatori. Brunson opened from early position with a raise that was called by Pescatori and one other player. Brunson fired again on a flop of {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts}. Only Pescatori called.

When the turn fell {5-Hearts}, Brunson fired for the third time. This time Pescatori raised, enough to set Brunson all in. Brunson called and showed down {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, two pair aces and deuces with a bad low. Pescatori showed {2-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {K-Clubs} for a better low. He nailed an eight-high straight to go along with it when the river fell {7-Spades}. That was enough to end Brunson's day.

All Dressed Up

We thought we had a promising pot developing over at Paul Darden's new table. Darden was in there for one bet preflop along with four other players, including Max Pescatori. On a flop of {A-Spades} {3-Hearts} {7-Spades}, Action checked all the way to the fourth player to act. He bet and was called by the button, Darden and Pescatori.

Unfortunately action slowed down from there. The {j-Hearts} turn checked all the way through as did the {7-Hearts} river. Pescatori claimed the high half with {K-Spades} {J-Spades} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, a baby flush; the button took the low half with {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {2-Spades}, six-deuce for low.

Many Yen for Yuen

Benny Yuen got his last in on the {9-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} flop, and stood up, shouting, "Come on, baby!"

Yuen: {A-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs}
Mr Opponent: {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {K-Clubs}

Turn: {7-Clubs}
River: {8-Clubs}

Baby did indeed come on, and Yuen doubles to 17,000.

Ace-Deuce, Ace-Deuce, Ace-Deuce!

Getting quartered in this game is bad enough when it happens. At Table 72, we just saw two players get sixthed by Scott Bolhman. Bolhman led the betting all the way on a board of {8-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. At showdown, he turned up {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {6-Hearts} for the nut low and two pair, tens and sixes. Each of his opponent's also held ace-deuce for the nut low, but neither could muster up more than one pair for high.

As a result, each of Bolhman's opponents got one-third of the low half of the pot (one-sixth of the total pot) while Bohlman got the remaining one-third of the low half and all of the high half (two-thirds total).

O'Dell's Got His Table in Fits

If you hear a whistling sound, it might be the steam coming out of John Juanda's ears after a recent pot against Frankie O'Dell. O'Dell check-raised Juanda on a flop of {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, with Juanda making the call.

A third diamond hit the turn, {4-Diamonds}. O'Dell cautiously checked to Juanda, who fired a bet into the pot. O'Dell tanked for about thirty seconds before making the call.

The action checked through on the {7-Hearts} river. Juanda showed down {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {j-Clubs} {5-Clubs} for the nut flush. O'Dell turned up {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {6-Spades} for a rivered sevens full of queens. Juanda could only stare and stammer as the rest of the table broke out laughing.

The pot was pushed to O'Dell.

We've Got More Controversy

Improbably, controversy has erupted again for the second time in less than three hours. On Orange #72, we have the same situation that we had before. One player claims he tabled his hand, showing cards that were entitled to half the pot. Somehow, the hand was killed. A floor supervisor was summoned, who listened to each player and then opted to check the video tapes.

The floor returned a few minutes later and said the player never tabled his hand. Without tabling his hand, there's no way to call his hand live and without a live hand he can't be entitled to half the pot. The player involved is, not surprisingly, irate at the ruling.

Justin Not In

Justin Phillips is now out -- the actual hand is a mystery but it looks like he got his very last in to a raise, and a big "Aww!" of disappointment signalled that he was busted.
