Binger Crippled

Razz

Eugene Katchalov{x-}{x-} / {2-}{q-}{7-}{j-} / {x-}
Michael Binger{x-}{x-} / {5-}{4-}{10-}{5-} / {x-}

We reached the table on seventh street, where Eugene Katchalov bet out. Michael Binger was in the tank for close to thirty seconds, and then eventually grabbed a tower of purple T500 chips and called.

Katchalov tabled {a-}{9-}{3-} for a ninety-seven, and Binger mucked his hand.

Eric Taking it to Bruno

Stud

When we arrived at Table 449, Bruno Fitoussi and Eric Wasserman were involved in a stufd hand that played out a little something like this.

Fitoussi: {x-}{x-} / {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Wasserson: {x-}{x-} / {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

During the first round of betting, Fitoussi completed and Wasserson made it an extra bet to go. A call would see Fitoussi lead on fourth street and Wasserson again call. When Wasserson paired his queen on fifth, Wasserson flicked out a bet, enough to scare of Fitoussi.

Mizrachi Quartered

Level 15

Omaha 8

Matt Waxman and Robert Mizrachi were heads up with the board reading {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Mizrachi check-called a bet, and then led when the {2-Spades} turned. Waxman called.

The {4-Clubs} completed the board, and Mizrachi led again, Waxman raised, and Mizrachi made a crying call.

Mizrachi{a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{x-}
Waxman{a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Waxman raked in three quarters of the pot, while Mizrachi only received one quarter.

Ahmed Takes One off Kelly

Stud 8

Owais Ahmed: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs} / {x-}
Dan Kelly: {x-}{x-} / {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} / {x-}

When we arrived at Table 448, Owais Ahmed and Dan Kelly were involved in a hand of Stud 8. We managed to catch the action heading into fourth street, with both players seemingly committing three bets during the first round of betting. On fourth street, Kelly bet and Ahmed called. Fifth street would see Kelly bet and Ahmed raise it up. Kelly called and then on sixth street, Kelly check-called a bet. The final card would see Kelly again check, but this time lay his hand down when Ahmed fired out another bet.

That hand sees Kelly's stack dwindle to one of the smaller stacks left in the room.

Just Before Dinner...

Level 15

Stud

As most of the players were exiting for the dinner break, John D'Agostino and Ognjen Sekularac were heads up in a hand of stud.

D'Agostino{x-}{x-} / {4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} / {x-}
Sekularac{x-}{x-} / {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / {x-}

Sekularac checked on seventh street, D'Agostino bet, and Sekularac was in the tank.

"Will you show?" he asked D'Agostino.

"No," D'Agostino replied.

"I think you're rolled up," Sekularac professed. "This decision might take a while."

"I'm not hungry anyway," D'Agostino shot back.

Sekularac eventually called, then mucked when D'Agostino tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for trip queens.
