Glantz Three-Bets, Ly Gets Shorter and Blind-Versus-Blind Action

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 15,000 ante

Hand #44

Minh Ly had the button to start the hand. Owais Ahmed raised to 160,000 and then action moved to Matt Glantz in the small blind. He thought about it for a few moments prior to three-betting to 450,000. Everyone folded, including Ahmed, and Glantz won the pot.

Hand #45

Matt Glantz had the button. Phil Hellmuth raised from under the gun to 160,000. Action folded around the table and Hellmuth picked up the blinds and antes.

Hand #46

Brian Rast started the hand with the button. Owais Ahmed raised from under the gun to 150,000 and Minh Ly called from the next seat. Everyone else folded.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Ahmed fired a continuation bet of 225,000. Ly quickly gave it up and Ahmed won the hand. Ly dropped to 1.39 million in chips after this hand.

Hand #47

George Lind began the hand with the button and play folded to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind. Hellmuth gave some chatter and then made the call. Owais Ahmed checked in the big blind to see the {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop. Hellmuth immediately bet 100,000 and Ahmed made the call.

On the turn, the {4-Diamonds} fell and both players checked before the dealer placed the {K-Clubs} on the river. Both players checked once more.

Ahmed tabled the {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for kings and sixes and Hellmuth mucked his hand.
