Zhu Scoops

Stud 8

There hasn't been much action since the resumption of play, but Yuki Zhu is now up to 10,000 in chips after a recent hand over on her table.

A player brought in with the {6-Diamonds} showing and another player completed with the {7-Diamonds} before Zhu raised with the {A-Hearts} . Both of the other players called, but when Zhu led out after being dealt the {3-Spades} on fourth street, only the completion player called (holding the {5-Spades} ), while Mr. Bring-in folded after he was dealt the {9-Spades} .

Zhu then bet on fifth street after being dealt the {2-Clubs} , but Mr. Complete folded, despite being given the {K-Diamonds} .

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.

Sharing is Caring for Juanda

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

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.
