![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
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.

Massive Pot for Ritzie
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.
Bell Doubles, Altbregin Crippled
Joe Ritzie checked the 
flop and Sergey Altbregin bet 100,000. Over to Chris Bell, who thought about it for a while before announcing, "I had 240 total, I'm all in."
Ritzie got out of the way, but Altbregin made the call. Bell turned over his cards. Altbregin waited. Said Bell, "I can't do nothing but turn over my cards," which was lost on Altbregin as he speaks a total of zero English. Nevertheless he eventually turned his hand over and they were at showdown.
Bell: 
Altbregin: 
Turn: 
River: 
Bell made the wheel to scoop the whole pot. Once the stacks had been counted, it was assessed that Altbregin had Bell covered - by a mere 10,000 chips. Yikes.
Sergey Altbregin Eliminated in 14th Place ($18,353)
Sergey Altbregin managed to chop a pot, meaning that he was up to 13,000 when he called all in from the small blind to an under-the-gun raise from Rob Hollink and a pot-sized reraise from Perry Green on the button. Hollink folded, and Green and Altbregin were on their backs.
Green: 
Altbregin: 
Board: 
Altbregin flopped a straight, but Green turned a flush, and as Green took the low as well, the plucky Russian was bust.
Texture Pleases Cernuto
"Miami" John Cernuto open-shoved in early position and we think that Cam McKinley reraised; either way everyone else folded and Cernuto and McKinley turned the cards over.
Cernuto: 
McKinley:
Flop: 
"Hold on," said Cernuto to the dealer, "Let me look at the texture."
[Our tired blogging hands leapt for joy as we were granted a few extra seconds to write down all the cards.]
"I need a queen, a six or a jack," Cernuto announced.
Turn: ask and ye shall receive - 
River: 
They chopped it up and Cernuto stayed in the game.

Hollink Doubles Out of Trouble
Perry Green opened for 35,000 pre-flop before Rob Hollink moved in from the button for 89,000 total. Green asked the dealer to pull the 35,000 before making the call with 
. Hollink's was in trouble but secured the double up by making a full house, 
. Hollink is up to 196,000.
Nathan Wiesner Eliminated in 13th Place ($18,353)
Nathan Wiesner raised pot and then called all in to a reraise from Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott. On their backs.
Wiesner: 
Ulliott: 
Board: 
It was all looking rather good for Wiesner until the three on the river made Ulliott the wheel to scoop the pot. They shook hands, and it was only after Wiesner had left that he let out an enormous sigh. Devilfish didn't look particularly bothered either way and was up to 475,000.
