Glantz on the Go

Level 20

Stud-8

Matt Glantz: (X)(X) / {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades} / (X)
Ben Lamb: (X)(X) / {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} / (X)

After Lamb brought it in, Glantz completed. Then Glantz bet on fourth and Lamb called. On fifth, Lamb picked up an ace and bet, Glantz raised, and Lamb called. On sixth, Lamb check-called Glantz's bet. Then on seventh, Lamb checked, Glantz bet, and Lamb folded.

As the chips were pushed his way, Glantz showed two of his down cards -- {8-Spades}{7-Hearts} -- which made him a jack-high straight. Glantz pushes up to 2.42 million, while Lamb falls to 1.16 million.

"Crazy" Mike

Level 21

"Hello, Phil Hellmuth!" called "Crazy" Mike Thorpe from the rail.

Thorpe has been sweating the final two tables for the better part of ten minutes, and is looking for any opportunity to needle the players at Table 292.

"Why isn't anyone talking?" Thorpe asked the table. "They're all a bunch of nits!"

Conversely, Thorpe has been conversing with members of Table 280, especially Brian Rast. We'll see if Thorpe can get something going at Table 292, or if he'll just get tossed from the Amazon Room.

Glantz Getz There

2-7 Triple Draw

Matt Glantz raised from the cutoff, and Ben "Benba" Lamb defended his big blind. Lamb drew two, Glantz drew one, and Lamb check-called a bet.

On the second draw, Lamb drew two, Glantz drew one, and Lamb check-called a bet. (Sound familiar?)

Lamb only drew one on the final draw, Glantz patted, and both players checked. Glantz fanned {9-}{8-}{6-}{7-}{3-}, Lamb mucked, and Glantz won the pot.

Minh Ly open-raised from the button, Scott Seiver three-bet from the small blind, and Ly called. The flop came {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Seiver bet, Ly raised, and Seiver called. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. This time Seiver checked, Ly bet, Seiver check-raised, and Ly called.

The river brought the {8-Hearts} and another bet from Seiver. Ly called.

Ly tabled {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for two pair. "Aces," said Seiver as he mucked. Ly pushes past Seiver and into the chip lead with that one. Minh is up to 2.9 million, while Seiver is now at 2.8 million.
