Three Way Carnage: Benyamine, Kornuth and De Maci

[user169505]

The game of Pot-Limit Omaha can create some amazing pots and here is one of them. The flop was showing {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {4-Hearts} and all three players involved in the hand decided to play for stacks. It was David Benyamine who covered Adam Kornuth who covered Chris De Maci.

De Maci
Kornuth
Benyamine

The three of them were playing for a 250,000 pot and it would be worth 435,000 for Benyamine. But we had two cards to come and De Maci was in the lead with his middle set, remarkably nobody had a straight and Kornuth was leading Benyamine with his pair of fours.

Turn: {3-Diamonds}

The situation did not change, except that Benyamine picked up even more outs.

River: {8-Diamonds}

De Maci tripled up to 141,300, Kornuth scooped the side pot with two-pair courtesy of his {4-Spades} and re-modelled his 90,140 and Benyamine missed the lot and moved down to 185,000.

David Benyamine	185,000 -113,000	-113,000

Scary Double for Parkinson

MarcC

Padraig Parkinson has doubled up for the second time today, and now in with a great shout of making it through the upcoming bubble.

He and Jason Dewitt saw a {a-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {q-Clubs} flop where Parkinson called a bet to see the {2-Hearts} turn. Dewitt led for 12,500 and called, after a lot of agonizing, when the Irishman shoved for 56,700.

Parkinson said he only had a nine-high flush as he opened {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} . He was good though as Dewitt had a smaller flush with {8-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {x-} {x-} .

Player	Chips	Progress
Padraig Parkinson	122,000 36,000	36,000
Jason DeWitt	41,000 -69,000	-69,000

Antony Lellouche Doubles Through Kevin MacPhee.

[user169505]

The line up of Kevin MacPhee, Antony Lellouche and Davidi Kitai looks like it is going to produce a lot of action, and here is the first of many pots between the three.

Kevin MacPhee raised to 4,300 on the button, and both Lellouche and Kitai called in the blinds. The flop was {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Hearts} and all three players timidly checked. Not so on the turn though! The dealer placed the {K-Diamonds} onto the felt and when the action checked around to MacPhee, he made a bet of 10,000. Lellouche was next to act and he check-raised to 41,000, Kitai folded, MacPhee moved all-in and Lellouche made the call.

Lellouche
MacPhee

Top two for MacPhee and a ton of outs for Lellouche. The dealer put the {Q-Hearts} on the river and Lellouche doubled up with Broadway.

Player	Chips	Progress
Antony Lellouche	179,000 77,000	77,000
Kevin MacPhee	100,000 -66,000	-66,000

Short Stack Watch

MarcC

Dario Alioto is spending as much time out of his seat than in it. He's stack watching at the other tables, hoping to find a few stacks as low as his.
Ilan Boujenah had to fold to a 21,000 bet on a flop. He only has 25,000 to play with.
Jason Dewitt has managed to double up his short stack. His was good on a board.

Jason DeWitt	60,000 19,000	19,000

Davidi Kitai Doubles Through Antony Lellouche

[user169505]

We told you to expect fireworks between these three!

Kevin MacPhee raised to 5,300 in the cutoff, Antony Lellouche called on the button before Davidi Kitai three-bet to 23,200 from the small blind. MacPhee folded but Lellouche wanted to gamble and he made the call.

Flop: {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

Kitai bet pot, Lellouche moved all-in and Kitai called (it was 85,700 in total for Kitai).

Kitai
Lellouche

Two pair for Lellouche and the draw for Kitai. The dealer placed the {10-Clubs} on the turn to give Kitai his flush, and the full-house did not materialise for Lellouche on the river.

Lellouche was down to 64,000 and Kitai moved up to 234,000.

Davidi Kitai	234,000 98,000	98,000

Lindgren Bubbles In The Strangest of Circumstances

[user169505]

Erick Lindgren must still be dazed and confused

Daniel Hindin made a standard raise from the cutoff, Erick Lindgren made the call from the small blind and that was about as standard as this hand got!

Flop: {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}

Lindgren check-called a Hindin c-bet.

Turn: {J-Diamonds}

Lindgren put out a pot sized bet of 32,000 and Hindin started to think…and think…and think…and think. A few minutes passed by and the other tables in the room ended their action and started to gather around. Meanwhile Hindin continued thinking…and thinking…and thinking.

"Geez, what have you got?" Asked Lindgren.

Back to Hindin, who periodically checked the clock, while continuing to think…and think… and think. After at least five minutes Lindgren calls the clock and the floor arrive. The countdown from ten started and we were thinking, "Either Hindin is completely nuts or he doesn't know it is his turn to act!"

The countdown reached zero, neither Lindgren nor Hindin moved a muscle, the dealer moved the chips towards Lindgren and the activity started to disperse, "Wait! I won the pot!" Said Hindin, "What are you talking about?" Said Lindgren.

To cut a very long story short, Hindin told the table that he had announced he was 'all-in'. Tom Marchese confirmed what Hindin was saying and both Jan Collado and Naoya Kihara said they heard Hindin say 'pot'. Neither the dealer nor Lindgren had heard Hindin, and he had not pushed any chips forward to indicate he was all-in.

"Why would I call the clock on myself?" Asked Lindgren.

The floor went to get a senior power to make a call on the hand, but the two players wanted to continue and play it out. In the end they were allowed to continue and so Hindin's pot size raise stood, Lindgren moved all-in and Hindin called. Still with us?

Lindgren
Hindin

So Lindgren had the straight and the re-draw to the diamond flush draw and Hindin had a set and redraw to the hearts and full-house.

River: {2-Diamonds}

An amazing card for Hindin and tragic news for Lindgren. The {2-Diamonds} filled up Hindin and the pot - that was initially Lindgren's - now sat in front of Hindin and E-Dog was out.

Bastian Delighted with the River Card

MarcC

Aubin Cazals' hopes of winning another bracelet to go with his one from Event #6 are looking dim after he lost a huge pot to Sebastian Bastian.

Shaun Deeb opened to 6,000 and was raised to16,000 by Cazals from the cut-off. Bastian called from the big blind, as did Deeb.

The flop fell {10-Spades} {a-Hearts} {k-Clubs} and Bastian led for the pot. Deeb folded before Bastian shoved for 118,100. Snap Call.

Cazalas: {q-Diamonds} {j-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} for the Broadway straight.
Bastian: {a-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {a-Spades} {10-Clubs} for top set.
