Chidwick Slips

Hold'em

Stephen Chidwick was heads up with an opponent with the board reading {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Chidwick's opponent bet, the Brit called, and the turn brought the {k-Spades}. Both players checked.

The river was the {7-Spades}, and Chidwick fired when his opponent checked. His opponent called, Chidwick opened {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} for just an ace, and his opponent tabled {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a full house; kings full of fives.

Morrison Doubles

Omaha 8/b

Kirk Morrison put in two bets on the button, Eric Buchman defended his big blind, and the flop came down {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Buchman led out, Morrison raised, and Buchman called. The turn was the {6-Spades} the two got enough bets in to put Morrison all in, and the river was the {a-Spades}.

We saw Morrison's hand ({k-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}), but Buchman's hand was mucked too fast for us to jot it down.

Forza Traniello

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

When we reached the table, Brian Hastings, Rajesh Vohra and Marco Traniello were three-handed heading into the second draw. Hastings drew two, Traniello drew one, and Vohra stood pat.

Hastings checked dark, Traniello knuckled as well, and Vohra bet. Hastings called, Traniello raised, Vohra folded and Hastings called again.

Hastings drew one, Traniello stood pat, and both players checked. Traniello tabled {9-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-} for a ninety-seven low, Hastings mucked, and Traniello shipped the pot.

Hellmuth Gets There

No-Limit Hold'em

We caught up with the action on a {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board and saw Phil Hellmuth check. Bryan Devonshire bet enough to cover the rest of Hellmuth's stack and Hellmuth beat him into the pot with an all-in call for 4,600.

Devonshire: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Hellmuth: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The {9-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, but Hellmuth made his flush when the {7-Hearts} hit the river.

Zaichenko Shoves, Deeb Snaps

Level 10

No-Limit Hold'em

When we walked up to the table, there were four cards on board showing {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}. There was 5,300 chips out in front of Shaun Deeb. It was either a bet or a raise (we're not sure), but either way, Andrey Zaichenko called to see the last card. It was the {6-Hearts}, and Zaichenko shoved in for about 16,000. Deeb snap-called with {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, and his flush was good.

That's the end of Zaichenko's day, and Deeb moves up to about 64,000.
