Alexander Kostritsyn: (X-X) {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Hearts} (X)
Allen Bari: (X-X) {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} (X)

Alexander Kostritsyn completed the action with the {7-Clubs} before Allen Bari raised the {K-Hearts}. Kostritsyn called, and then again on fourth, before both players checked fifth street. On sixth, Kostritsyn paired up and led out with a bet, which Bari called. Kostritsyn fired again on the river but was met with a raise from Bari.

Seidel In Trouble

Limit Hold'em

Erik Seidel raised the button and Robert Mizrachi made the call in the big blind to see a flop of {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Mizrachi checked to Seidel who fired a bet. Mizrachi made the call.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and again the action was check, bet, call. However on the {10-Hearts} river, Mizrachi led at the pot with a bet which Seidel didn't like as he released his cards.

Seidel is now in some trouble with just 240,000 left, as Mizrachi has enjoyed a good Limit Hold'em round to now be up to 1.24 million.

Richey and Oppenheim Chop It Up

Omaha 8/b

John Juanda raised it up from middle position with David Oppenheim calling on the button and Brett Richey coming along in the big blind.

The flop fell {6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Richey checked to Juanda who tossed a bet into the middle. Oppenheim called before Richey announced a raise. It didn't reduce the field as both opponents made the call.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and action checked to Oppenheim who bet out. Richey made the call as Juanda decided to avoid being stuck in the middle as he released his cards.

The river was the {J-Diamonds} and Richey led with a bet that Oppenheim quickly called. Richey showed {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts} as Oppenheim flipped {2-Clubs}{3-}-X-X for the nut low. Chop it up boys!
