Glantz Fills Up On River

From the hijack seat, Felipe Ramos raised to 3,200. Matt Glantz called from the small blind and Max pescatori called from the big blind. The flop came down {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} and action checked around. The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Glantz checked. Pescatori bet 4,000 and Ramos flicked his hand into the muck. Glantz made the call.

The river was the {K-Clubs} and Glantz checked. Pescatori quickly checked behind and announced a flush. Glantz showed the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a full house, kings full of threes. Pescatori showed the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{x-} and mucked.

Dwan Busts Another One

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Tom Dwan opened to 4,000 under the gun, and Manny Jo called on the button. The player in the big blind made it 16,800 total with less than that behind. Dwan repotted, Jo folded, and the big blind called all in.

Dwan: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, and Dwan filled up on the river to eliminate a player and move up to 290,000. With that knockout, the table broke.

Cramped Quarters

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Turnout at this year's WSOP has been amazing. But that comes with some side effects. The noon event today was a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em that filled all of the available tables. Then the 4:00 pm deepstack tournament (not a bracelet event) continued its trend of attracting a massive field. So many players have shown up that the Razz event scheduled to being at 5:00 pm was pushed back an hour.

So what does that mean for the $10,000 PLO corner of the room? There remaining PLO tables are sandwiched in between Day 3 of the $5,000 Six-Max event and tables from today's $1,500. As tables break, they are filled in with more $1,500 players. It makes it seem like the PLO field isn't getting any smaller, but the board shows that players are actually falling quite quickly.

Lamb Comes from Behind for a Knockout

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Ben Lamb opened to 4,000 from under the gun. Jose-Luis Velador called in the cutoff, and the button called as well. When action got to the big blind, he potted it, and Benba was the only caller. The big blind was pretty short and moved all in on the {q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop. Lamb called and was going to need some help to win the pot.

Lamb: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for top pair and some runner-runner draws
Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

The {6-Diamonds} turn was a safe card for the all-in player, but the {q-Spades} river gave Benba trip queens and the knockout.

"I don't even know why I was looking," joked tablemate John Kabbaj. "You're like a 10:1 favorite there. That guy should have gotten up on the flop." Lamb is up to 325,000.
