Just Before Break...

Scott Seiver raised in middle position, and Jason Lester defended his big blind. The flop was {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, Lester checked, and Seiver bet. Lester called.

Lester check-called another bet after the {8-Hearts} turned, and check raised after the {a-Diamonds} fell on the river. Seiver put in three bets, and Lester called. Seiver opened up {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for Broadway, Lester mucked, and Seiver won the pot.

Deeb in the Danger Zone

Level 18

Limit Hold'em

With the stakes now 30,000/60,000 in the limit games, Shaun Deeb raised from under the gun, then Jason Lester three-bet from the hijack seat. It folded back around to Deeb who called.

The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Deeb checked, and Lester pushed out a bet. Deeb folded, preserving his last 45,000. Lester, meanwhile, has about 775,000.

Chip Leaders Chop

Level 18

Omaha-8

It folded around to Brian Rast in the small blind who raised, and Josh Arieh called from the big blind. The flop came {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Rast bet, Arieh raised, and Rast called. The turn was the {5-Spades} and Rast bet once more. This time Arieh just called. The river was the {J-Clubs}, and Arieh again called Rast's bet.

Rast: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Arieh: {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

Nut low for Rast, and trip fours for Arieh, and the two big stacks chopped the pot. Arieh still sits atop the counts with 2.09 million, with Rast his nearest challenger right now with 1.91 million.

Omaha-8

Scott Seiver raised from the cutoff, Vladimir Shchemelev called in the big blind, and the flop fell {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Shchemelev led, Seiver raised, and Shchemelev called.

Both players checked the {5-Hearts} on the turn, and the river was the {3-Spades}. Shchemelev led, and Seiver called. Shchemelev opened up {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of tens, Seiver folded and Shchemelev took the pot.

A Few for Phil

Level 18

Razz

Phil Hellmuth: (X)(X) / {4-}{3-}{10-}{9-} / (X)
Jeffrey Lisandro: (X)(X) / {5-}{2-}{10-}{9-} / (X) - FOLDED

We picked up this one on fourth street, with Hellmuth betting and Lisandro calling. Hellmuth would bet the next three streets as well, with Lisandro calling the first two, then letting his hand go.

Hellmuth said he had {7-}{5-} underneath as he scooped the pot. He's at 682,000 now, while Lisandro sits with 895,000.
