The Pirate Says

Level 1

Normally, we tend to deem one table in an event as the "Table of Death," but we've just been told by Barry Levy that there's a better way to say it.

First off, this event is stacked and every table is packed with notable faces, including the one right in front of us that Levy is seated at. Here's how it looks:

SeatPlayer
1David "ODB" Baker
2David Benyamine
3Barry Levy
4David "Bakes" Baker
5Ralph Perry
6Allen Kessler
7Roland Israelvishi
8Freddy Deeb

Levy, who is also known as "The Pirate," came over and told us, "When you die and go to hell, this is the game and these are the players."

Ace-High Wins

Level 1

Stud 8:

Daniel Negreanu{x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} / {x-}
Luke Schwartz{x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs} (FOLDED)
Ben Yu{x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} / {x-}

We caught up with the action on fourth street, where all three players checked. On fifth, the action checked to Negreanu, who bet, and only Yu called. On sixth, and seventh, both players checked.

Yu turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for ace-high and no low, and Negreanu started laughing.

"I had a straight flush draw," he said aloud. "And ace-high wins."

"Just bad luck," Yu responded, grinning.

Deeb's River Raise

Level 1

Stud

David Baker{x-}{x-} / {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} (FOLDED)
David Benyamine{x-}{x-} / {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs} / {x-}
Freddy Deeb{x-}{x-} / {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades} / {x-}

Deeb led out on fifth street, Baker tank-folded, and Benyamine quickly called. When Benyamine paired on sixth, he decided to lead out, and Deeb quickly called. On seventh, Benyamine led again, but this time Deeb raised. Benyamine tank-folded and Deeb flashed two of his cards while folding.

One of them looked like the six or eight of diamonds, but we're not positive. What we do know however, is that Deeb raked in the pot.

The Hidden Camera Show on Table 364

Stud 8

No table is having more fun in event Event 32: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. than Table 364. Every five minutes or so, all eight players burst into hysterical laughter, and a few minutes ago was no exception.

Tom Koral, who is apparently being needled by Ali Eslami, was in a pot against Bill Chen.

Koral{x-}{x-} / {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} / {x-}
Chen{x-}{x-} / {7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} / {x-}

The two were heads up heading to fourth street, where Koral check-called a bet. Chen made a pair of sevens of fifth, and led out, and Koral raised. Chen called. Chen led again on sixth, Koral just called this time, and both players were dealt seventh street face down. Chen bet, and Koral called.

"Three sevens," Chen announced. "And actually a low too."

Chen tabled {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for trip sevens and an eighty-seven low. Koral mucked, while the entire table broke out into laughter.

"Actually a low," Scott Seiver repeated. "I actually have the nuts."

"I feel like I'm on some sort of hidden camera show," Koral said. "He catches the one-outer seven, you [Eslami] keep needling me."

The table erupted once more, while Chen pulled in the pot.
