Rast Above 2MM

Pot-Limit Omaha

Matt Glantz opened to 20,000 from under the gun, and received calls from Brian Rast on his direct left and David Baker in the cutoff. The flop fell {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Glantz checked, Rast fired 45,000, and Baker folded. Glantz called.

The turn was the {a-Spades}, and Glantz checked again. Rast bet pot (165,000), and Glantz tank-called.

The river was the suicide king ({k-Hearts}), and Glantz checked a third time. Rast slid out 350,000, and Glantz folded.

Glantz Doubles Through Rast

Pot-Limit Omaha

We caught up with the action on the {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. Brian Rast bet the pot and Matt Glantz re-potted to get all in. Rast called and the hands were tabled.

Rast: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Glantz: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The turn brought the {2-Hearts} and gave Glantz a heart flush. The river completed the board with the {10-Spades}. Glantz won the pot with his flush and Rast sent over the chips. He still has close to two million though.

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.
