Lennaard Charging

Hold'em

Ken Lennaard is making a bold move up the counts. After a few successful stud hi/lo hands, he recently tagged Robert Mizrachi in a hand of hold'em. Lennaard opened with a raise that Hani Awad called in position. Mizrachi three-bet from the small blind, only to see Lennaard four-bet. That raise chased Awad out of the pot and left Lennaard heads-up with Mizrachi, who called.

Mizrachi check-called a bet on a flop of {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {3-Spades} and check-called again on the {j-Spades} turn. A fourth spade, {7-Spades}, hit the river. Mizrachi checked one more time, then folded to one last bet from Lennaard.

Barbieri Delivers Another Body Blow to Awad

Hold'em

Hani Awad limped into the pot from the hijack seat, and Konstantin Puchkov called in the small blind. Al Barbieri raised from the big blind, and both opponents called the extra 12,000 to see a flop.

It came {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, and Puchkov check-folded. Barbieri bet, Awad raised, and Barbieri made it three bets to go. Awad called.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and a pair on board, and Barbieri fired right back out into the pot. Undeterred, Awad raised, and Barbieri reraised it right back. Another call from Awad.

Barbieri got one more bet in on the {A-Spades} river, and he turned up {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs} for eights full. It was good; Awad flashed {Q-} {10-} as he sent his useless trips into the muck.

Barbieri - 885,000
Awad - 320,000

Mizrachi Gets Some Back

Hold'em

The action was three-handed for two bets each to a flop of {3-Clubs} {4-Spades} {8-Hearts}. Hani Awad checked over to Robert Mizrachi. His bet was raised by Konstanin Puchkov, driving Awad out of the pot. Mizrachi called.

Both players checked the {5-Hearts} turn and the {2-Diamonds} river. At showdown, Mizrachi tabled {a-} {8-} for a 5-high straight. That was the winner.

Mizrachi Makes Two

Hold'em

Robert Mizrachi raised from middle position and Ken Lennaard reraised in position. Mizrachi called.

The flop came out {5-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}, and both players checked. Mizrachi led out with a bet on the {A-Clubs} turn, and he fired another one on the {10-Spades} river with Lennaard calling both streets.

Mizrachi's {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} was the best hand at showdown, and that pot moves both close to even with just over 300,000 chips apiece.

Omaha: A Four-Card Game

"That's the last hand of hold'em," said T.D. Robbie over the microphone, "and we're moving on to Omaha."

After an awkward quiet pause, he added, "...That's the one with four cards."

Unimproved Aces Work for Revesz

Omaha 8/b

One thing that's become apparent at this final table is that Hani Awad is attempting to play lots of pots, and he's limping most of them. Awad limped into pot from middle position before Andrew Revesz raised. Al Barbieri called from the blinds and Awad also called for a three-way pot.

Action checked to Revesz on a flop of {6-Spades} {k-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. He fired a bet that both other players called. Everyone checked the {k-Hearts} turn. When the river came {q-Diamonds}, action again checked to Revesz. He et and was called by Barbieri. Revesz showed unimproved aces for aces and kings. It was the winner.
