Devilfish Goes Fishing

David Ulliott
David Ulliott

We are not 100% sure what the action was but when we got to the table the dealer was putting out a river. From the information we gathered we assume that the hand went like this. Thorsten Schafer raised preflop and received a caller in David "Devilfish" Ulliot on the button. On a {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop both players started betting back and forth until Schafer was all in.

Ulliot: {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Schafer: {A-}{A-}

Whether or not Ulliot was making a move for the pot or calling an all in we do not know, what we do know is what the turn and the river were. A {7-Diamonds} took the spot for the turn, and the {A-Hearts} was put down for the river. Ulliot was unable to get his straight, and Schafer was able to grab hold of a full house aces over sevens in order to stay alive.

Quad Aces are Good

"I love quad aces"
"I love quad aces"

Daniel Alaei, Anthony Grappo, and Dimitar Danchev got all the biscuits in the middle preflop. Both Grappo and Alaei were short, but Grappo had Alaei covered. Danchev had both players at risk.

Alaei: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Danchev: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Grappo: {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

There was an ace on the {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop, another on the turn ({a-Spades}), and - why not - the case ace ({a-Hearts}) fell on the river to give Alaei quads and the triple-up. Danchev scooped the side pot, eliminating Grappo, and the stacks looked like this after the dust settled:

Moorman Moving on Up

Chris Moorman
Chris Moorman

Phil Laak opened up the action for 10,000, and was quickly reraised by Farzad Bonyadi on the button who made it 22,000. Action then got around to Chris Moorman in the big blind who three-bet and made it around 50,000. Laak folded and Bonyadi moved all in. Moorman made the call, but it was Bonyadi who was at risk.

Bonyadi: {A-}{K-}
Moorman: {Q-}{Q-}

A {5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} was not what Bonyadi wanted to see and a turn {j-Diamonds} wasn't much better. Bonyadi was going to need an ace or a king in order to stay alive in this tournament. He received no such luck as the {J-Clubs} rang off for the river.

Nice Turn for Hyman

Thomas Middleton raised to 7,000 from late position only to have Matthew Hyman three-bet to 16,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Middleton and he simply moved all in. Hyman called off for 133,000 and the cards were turned up.

Middleton: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Hyman: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Hyman was the player at risk and was totally dejected when the flop came down {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, pairing Middleton's ace and giving him the lead. As Hyman was preparing to leave, the dealer burned and turned his salvation, the {8-Hearts}. Middleton was drawing dead as the {6-Spades} was put out on the river.

Hyman is now up to 275,000.

Kitai vs. Markholt

Davidi Kitai raised to 7,500 under the gun and watched as action folded to Lee Markholt in the small blind. The former rodeo cowboy thought for a moment before putting in the three-bet to 23,000. The big blind got out of the way and action was back on Kitai. The winner of the World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational winner tanked for two solid minutes before releasing his hand and preserving his stack of 102,000.

Frank Wins 280K-Chip Pot

...with eight-high.

Greg Dyer started the action with a raise to 7,500, Gabriel Frank called on the button, and Chris Moorman three-bet to 25,500 from the small blind. Dyer folded, Frank called.

The flop came down {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}, Moorman led for 25,000, and Frank called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, and Moorman announced, "all in." Frank stood up from his chair, paused, then pushed his last 85,500 in the middle, making the call.

Frank: {8-Spades}{5-Spades}
Moorman: {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Well then.

The river was the {k-Diamonds}, completing the board, and Frank's eight was good enough for the 280,000-chip pot.

"That's what the reporters are looking for," tablemate Phil Laak added. "They see the ace-king versus jacks all day, and here's eight-high for all the money.

You've got that right, Mr. Laak.
