What happens when three people get dealt ace-deuce? The pot becomes a mess to split. Perry Green opened pre-flop for 30,000 and was called by Sergei Altbregin and Joe Ritzie from the big blind. Ritzie acted first on a flop of and bet the pot. Both of his opponents called.
The turn came , with Ritzie moving all in for 127,000. Again both of his opponents called. They were playing on the side when the river came. Green checked to Altbregin. He then moved all in, with Green calling all in himself!
The side pot between Altbregin and Green went three-quarters to Green with his making the nut low and two pair, jacks and sixes. Altbregin's , the nut low and two pair, jacks and fives, was quartered. As for the main pot, Ritzie opened his own ace-deuce, . He made the nut low and the nut full house to get all of the high half, and a third of the low half, with Green and Altbregin taking a third each.
After the hand Ritzie was up to 535,000, Green was up to 815,000, and Altbregin -- the big loser in the hand -- was down to 280,000.
We didn't catch the hand, but it's been terribly quiet on Table 338 since Andy Black departed in 15th place. We'll just have to hope that Devilfish starts singing again on the other table soon.
Erik Seidel, down to just 28,000, open-shoved shoved from the button. Small blind "Miami" John Cernuto reshoved, the big blind folded, and they were on their backs.

The two of them chopped the high, and Seidel's took the whole of the low, meaning that he was up to 49,000 at the end of the hand and Cernuto was down to 45,000. That's still less than five big blinds apiece.
David Hunt, down to 45,000, opened with a pot-sized raise to 35,000. The next player to act was former Main Event final tablist Perry Green, who re-raised pot to 120,000. The rest of the table got the message and folded. Hunt put his last 10,000 into the pot quite sure that he was behind. He was right. His was looking for lots of low cards against Green's .
"That's no good," said Hunt upon seeing a flop of . The turn gave him some faint hope of rivering a chop, but it wasn't to be. The river paired the board and gave Green the best high hand with aces and sevens. With no low on board, Hunt immediately answered the phone and gave the person on the other end the bad news.
Yesterday Felix Gubitz went running out of the room when he was all in. Today he actually stayed at the table but started packing his things. He was all in for 10,000 from under the gun and was called by Sergei Altbregin, Chris Bell, and small blind Dan Shak. Big blind David Nowakowski checked his option.
Action checked to Bell on a flop of . He bet 20,000 and was called by all live opponents except for Shak. When the turn came , Altbregin took the lead with a bet of 110,000. Bell and Nowakowski quickly folded, allowing Altbregin to open for the nut straight. Gubitz had four low cards in his hand and was drawing dead. He'll collect $14,455 for a 17th-place finish.
