Level 10

Everybody has seen Phil Hellmuth shoot his neighbor a death stare. This particular time it was to Ben Yu.

When Yu bet on fourth street Hellmuth gave him his patented death stare even though he had two aces showing. Hellmuth folded and the Yu took the small pot.

Home Time for Mortensen

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Omaha 8

Carlos Mortensen has played his last hand of poker here, with his demise coming during a hand of Omaha 8. Mortensen opened the pot during said hand, from middle position. Brian Hastings called directly on his left and so too did Shawn Buchanan in the big blind. The {8-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} {2-Spades} flop would see Buchanan check and Mortensen lead out. Hastings then made it another bet to go, Buchanan called and Mortensen committed the last of his chips, watching on as Buchanan and Hastings played the hand out.

Buchanan check-called a bet on the turn ( {3-Clubs} ) and then both opponents checked the river ( {9-Clubs} ). Mortensen tabled his {k-Diamonds} {k-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} and then left the table immediately as Buchanan and Hastings chopped up the pot with their showings.

Aces are Low

Brian Hastings	/ /
Allen Bari	/ /

Hastings completed with an ace up, and Bari called. On fourth, both players paired.

"Aces," the dealer announced, indicating that Hastings was first to act.

"Why?" Hastings questioned.

"It's razz," Bari explained. "Aces are low."

Bari's correct - in razz, aces are basically "ones". Hastins led out, and Bari called. Hastings led again on fifth, Bari called, and Hastings checked on sixth. Bari took the opportunity to bet, and Hastings called.

On seventh, Hastings check-folded, and Bari took down the pot.

Stud 8

David Bakes Baker: {x-}

Phil Hellmuth: {x-}

When we came to the table it was fourth street and both Hellmuth and Baker were checking. Fifth street would see Hellmuth fire out a bet and Baker call. Sixth would be the same and so too would seventh.

In the end, Baker had {a-Hearts} {q-Hearts} in the hol for a flush, while Helmuth flipped over {6-Diamonds} {2-Spades} to take down the low half of the pot. Despite chopping this hand in half, Hellmuth has managed to sit behind a handy chip stack today, while Baker's stack is currently struggling.
