Boukai Beats Benba

Level 15
Rami Boukai
Rami Boukai

Omaha-8

Rami Boukai raised from the hijack seat and got one caller in Ben "Benba" Lamb from the big blind. The flop came {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Lamb checked, Boukai bet, Lamb check-raised, and Boukai called. The turn was the {K-Spades}. This time Lamb bet and Boukai called.

The river brought the {6-Spades} and checks from both. Lamb showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Boukai {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and Boukai took the pot with his queens and eights.

Boukai is at 700,000 now while Lamb has 550,000.

Quintuple-Up for Lisandro

Level 14
Jeffrey Lisandro
Jeffrey Lisandro

Razz

Okay, razz fans. Five-way action here, details below. Cliffs? Jeffrey Lisandro quintuples up! (No shinola.)

The hand involved Lisandro, Shaun Deeb, Jason Lester, Steve Billirakis, and David "ODB" Baker. The action particularly heated up on fourth street, when Deeb bet, Lisandro raised, Lester and Billirakis called the two bets, Baker made it three, Deeb made it four, Lisandro called with his remaining chips, and the other three all called.

Got that?

On fifth Deeb bet again, and Lester, Billirakis, and Baker all called. On sixth Deeb kept at it, and only Baker decided to stick around. Deeb and Baker then both checked seventh. The hands…

Deeb (X)(X) / {2-}{9-}{3-}{10-} / (X)
Lisandro (X)(X) / {4-}{Q-}{3-}{10-} / (X)
Lester (X)(X) / {7-}{Q-}{5-}{10-} - FOLDED
Billirakis (X)(X) / {A-}{J-}{J-}{J-} - FOLDED
Baker (X)(X) / {5-}{9-}{9-}{K-} / (X)

Deeb showed {8-}{7-}{3-} for a 9-8, Lisandro {A-}{7-}{5-} for a 7-5, and Baker mucked. "Yes! Yes!" said the normally reserved Lisandro, noting that nifty return on his investment for the hand. He took the big main pot, and suddenly sits with about 305,000. Deeb, meanwhile, took the side pot, and has about 900,000 as we approach the last break of the night.

Dehkharghani Downed by Rast

No-Limit Hold'em

Raymond Dehkharghani opened to 18,000 from under the gun, Brian Rast called in the big blind, and the flop fell {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Rast checked, Dehkharghani fired 36,000, Rast raised to 113,000, and Dehkharghani moved all in. Rast snapped it off.

Dehkharghani: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Rast: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The {9-Diamonds} on the turn left the door open for Dehkharghani. Any jack would give him a winning straight, but the {6-Hearts} bricked on the river, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Chew On This

Level 14

"Who wants to make a quick forty bucks!" David Oppenheim shouted at the rail.

Only Scott Seiver responded.

"You want to go to the gas station?" Oppenheim chuckled.

"Oh," Seiver responded, realizing he can't just leave his stack. "No."

"Come on," Oppenheim sighed. "Anybody?"

Eventually a gentleman offered his services. Oppenheim instructed him to go to the nearest gas station and pick up a tin of Skoal Straight Long Cut.

"I don't have a car though," the man told Oppenheim.

"I'll do it for twenty!" another railbird interjected.

Oppenheim ignored him. "Take a cab!" he told his helper. "I'll pay for it."

The man nodded, took the money, and then exited the Amazon Room. We'll update you on whether or not his quest was a success upon his return.
