Cantu's in Trouble

Level 6

Stud 8

Brandon Cantu: {x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{K-Diamonds} / {x-}

We picked the action from fourth street, where an opponent bet out into Brandon Cantu, who made the call before both players checked their option on fifth street. The opponent bet on sixth and Cantu called, then both players checked down seventh street and the opponent scooped the pot after showing down {A-}{J-}{5-}.

Cantu is now down to 4,500 in chips.

Baldwin Slips

Omaha 8

Our field reporter picked up the action three-handed on a flop that read {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}; Owais Ahmed checked to Eric Baldwin who opened the betting and an opponent in late position raised it up before Ahmed folded.

Baldwin called, then check-called the late position player's bet on both the turn of the {K-Hearts} and the river of the {6-Clubs}, only to be scooped after the late position player tabled {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{x-}.

Sharing is Caring for Juanda

Stud 8

John Juanda: {x-}{x-} / {4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{K-Spades} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {Q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} / {x-}

Our reporter picked up the action from fifth street, where an opponent led into Juanda; Juanda called, as well as doing the same on sixth street before the opponent check-called Juanda on seventh. The opponent tabled {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for the high and Juanda showed {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} for the low - hence, they divided the amount in the prize pool.

Harman's Wheely Good at This Game

Omaha 8

From under the gun, Jennifer Harman limped in and the action folded around to a player in middle position who raised before both the small and big blinds called to go four ways into a flop that read {10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

The blinds checked to Harman who opened the betting; the middle position and the small blind called, but the big blind folded, making it three-handed to the turn of the {A-Spades}. This time, the small blind and Harman checked to the middle position player, who bet and then they both called before the small blind led out on the river {3-Diamonds}.

The small blind showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} and the middle position player tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, but Harman's {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} scooped the pot.

Heimiller Hijacked

Omaha 8

The action folded around to the player in the cutoff who raised before the flop, only to see Dan Heimiller re-raise from the button, forcing the blinds out of the way. The cutoff called, then check-called Heimiller's bets all the way down the board of {6-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

The cutoff tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{4-Spades} - scoopy, scoopy!

Chip Counts

Wheel Meet Again

Omaha 8

Both Erik Seidel and Gavin Smith are on the same table and both have run into the same player in separate. Smith called bets all the way down on a {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds} board having been check-raised on the flop but couldn't beat his opponent's {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} flopped wheel.

Around the same time, Erik Seidel also lost a decent pot to same said player, check calling a bet on the river of a {3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{A-Clubs} board but mucking upon seeing his opponent's {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

Like Your Favourite Ice Cream, Vedes Gets Scooped

Omaha 8

No-one likes being scooped, but that's what has just happened to Tommy Vedes. He check-called a bet on a {2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs} flop before both players checked the {J-Clubs} turn. Vedes led out on the {5-Clubs} river and then called a raise but couldn't bet his opponent's {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for nut-nut.
