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.

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.

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.

Vladimir Shchemelev

Omaha-8

From middle position, Jason Lester raised. Sebastian Ruthenberg called from the button and Vladimir Shchemelev called from the big blind to see the flop come out {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Shchemelev bet out and Lester called. Ruthenberg also called to keep all three players in to see fourth street.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and now the board was eligible for a low. Shchemelev checked and Lester bet. Ruthenberg made the call and Shchemelev called as well.

The {2-Clubs} landed on the river and Shchemelev bet out. Lester called and Ruthenberg called. Time for the hands.

Shchemelev showed the {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} for an eight-high straight and a seven-six low. Lester showed the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} for the nut low. Ruthenberg tabled the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the same nut low. Shchemelev won half of the pot with his straight while Ruthenberg and Lester got a quarter with the same nut low.

Chips for Chen

Stud-8

Three-way action on Table 286.

Yan Chen: (X)(X) / {3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} / (X)
Scott Seiver: (X)(X) / {7-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} / (X)
Jon Turner: (X)(X) / {2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / (X)

We picked up the betting on fifth street where it checked to Chen who bet and both Seiver and Turner called. The three followed the same sequence on both sixth and seventh, with Turner checking, Chen betting, and both Seiver and Turner calling.

At showdown, Chen turned over {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a jack-high flush and no low, and both of his opponents mucked, Seiver saying he'd made a ten-high flush as he did.
