Binger Doubles

Omaha-8

Michael Binger raised from early position, Brian Rast called on the button, and the flop was {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The two got enough bets in to put Binger all in.

Binger: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Rast: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Binger made the nut-low when the {4-Clubs} hit the turn, made a flush when the {j-Clubs} fell on the river, and scooped the pot to double to 230,000 chips.

Owais Ahmed

Razz

For the second time within minutes, Owais Ahmed has taken a healthy chunk of chips from Shaun Deeb in Razz. Here's how this one went down.

Owais Ahmed: (X)(X) / {6-}{5-}{Q-}{A-} / (X)
Shaun Deeb: (X)(X) / {7-}{5-}{Q-}{4-} / (X)

We picked up the action on fourth street with Owais Ahmed betting and Shaun Deeb calling. Both players then checked fifth before Ahmed bet sixth and was called by Deeb. On seventh, AHmed bet again and Deeb called.

Ahmed showed {A-}{3-}{7-} from his down cards for another {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{A-} low and Deeb mucked.

Hansen Scooped

Omaha-8

The action folded to Gus Hansen who completed from the small blind. Robert Mizrachi raised from the big, and Hansen called. The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}, and Hansen check-called a bet.

Hansen proceeded to check-call bets on the turn ({6-Diamonds}), and the river ({2-Diamonds}) as well, and Mizrachi tabled {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a six-high straight and the nut-low. Hansen mucked, and is down to 338,000 chips.

Hansen Hands

Level 16

Limit Hold'em

A couple of Gus Hansen limit hold'em hands to share...

We caught the first on the flop with 105,000 in the middle and the board showing {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Sitting under the gun, Gus Hansen bet (20K), and Marco Johnson raised from the cutoff. Hansen called. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and this time Hansen checked. Johnson bet (40K), and Hansen called.

The river brought the {7-Spades} and a couple of checks from both. Hansen showed {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for treys and jacks and a busted flush draw, and that was enough as Johnson mucked. Johnson slipped to about 595,000 after that one.

Hansen was soon involved in another LHE hand with George Lind. Lind raised from the button, Hansen three-bet from the small blind, and Lind called. Hansen bet the {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, Lind raised, and Hansen called. Both then checked the {Q-Hearts} turn. The {K-Clubs} fell on the river, Hansen bet, and Lind called.

Hansen showed {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} this time for the rivered flush, and Lind mucked. Hansen has bumped up to 690,000 after that sequence, while Lind has 890,000.

Limit Hold'em

When we reached the table, Alexandre Luneau was already all in, and the flop had fallen {j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Jon "PearlJammer" Turner and Scott Seiver were heads up for the side pot, and Turner bet out. Seiver called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs}, and Turned slowed down, check-calling a bet from Seiver. Turner check-called another bet after the {8-Clubs} hit the river, and Seiver opened up {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for Broadway. Turner showed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} before mucking, and Luneau showed {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Luneau is eliminated, while Seiver is back over a milly.
