Stud Hi/Lo:

We discovered Ylon Schwartz in the tank over at Table 432 after Ashton Griffin had bet fifth street and was raised by Stephen Chidwick. Schwartz thought for a long time, but eventually folded and left his two opponents to duke it out.

Sixth street saw Griffin check-call a bet, but then he ended up check-folding on seventh, leaving himself just 1,500.

Chidwick: (x-x) / {K-Spades} {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} / (x)
Griffin: (x-x) / {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {J-Clubs} / (x)
Schwartz: (x-x) / {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} fold

Just a couple of hands later, Griffin met his demise in another Stud hi/lo hand.

Guss Hits 80K

Stud:

We caught the action on fifth street when Michele Limongi bet and Brandon Guss called. On sixth street, Limongi bet again but this time Guss raised it up, which the former player called before both players checked seventh.

Guss: (x-x) / {3-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {J-Spades} / (x) ( {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {2-Spades} )
Limongi: (x-x) / {A-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades} / (x)

Guss rolled over pocket queens and didn't seem overly sure of his hand, but as Limongi lingered his confidence grew. Sure enough, Limongi mucked his cards and Guss took down the pot, chipping up to 80,000 in the process.

Idema Scoops Monster Pot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

Stud Hi/Lo:

We caught the action on fifth street when Daniel Idema and another player both checked, opening the door for an unknown player to bet. Only Idema made the call, and then he turned right around and check-called a bet on sixth.

Seventh saw Idema check for a third time, but then he sprung to life with a check-raise after his opponent bet. A call was made and the hands table.

Idema: (x-x) / {8-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} / (x) ( {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {8-Clubs} )
Opponent: (x-x) / {2-Spades} {A-Spades} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} / (x) ( {A-} {2-} (x))

Idema made the flush and an 8-6-5-3-A low, which was good enough to scoop the pot and increase his stack to 78,000.

Six-Perfect for Porter

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Razz:

Rep Porter completed with an {A-} and received two calls from players showing a {2-} and {3-} respectively. Porter proceeded to bet the turn, and only the player showing the {2-} called. Fifth street saw Porter make a call after his opponent took the lead and led out, but then Poter retook the lead and fired on sixth. A raise was made, followed by a call, before both players checked seventh.

Porter: (x-x) / {A-} {4-} {7-} {6-} / (x) ( {2-} {3-} {9-} )
Opponent: (x-x) / {2-} {4-} {5-} {K-} / (x) ( {2-} {3-} {6-}

Porter took down the pot with a six-perfect, which chipped him up to 57,000.
