No-Limit Hold'em

On the next hand after he doubled through Simon Lam, Salman Behbehani got the rest of Lam's chips and here's how it happened.

James Dempsey opened the pot with a raise to 10,000 from the hijack seat. Action folded over to Lam in the small blind and he reraised all in for slightly more than 70,000. Behbehani was in the big blind and made the call. Dempsey folded.

Behbehani tabled the {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and was up against the {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for Lam. On the {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop, Lam picked up an open-ended straight draw, but the {3-Spades} turn card and {5-Clubs} river card gave him no help.

Lam was eliminated in 13th place for $10,210 and the field dropped down to 12 players.

Ivey Doubles Through Tryba

No-Limit Hold'em

Phil Ivey raised to 12,000 from the hijack seat and Chris Tryba reraised to 27,000 from the cutoff seat. Action folded back to Ivey and he moved all in for 87,500. Tryba called.

Tryba turned up the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, but was behind the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} for Ivey. The flop of {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} gave Tryba extra outs to a wheel, but the {9-Clubs} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river failed to give him what he needed and Ivey doubled up.

Big Pot for Golbuff

Limit Hold'em

From under the gun, Michael Foti raised. Salman Behbehani reraised from the hijack seat in the next spot and then Samuel Golbuff made it four bets to go from the cutoff seat. Play folded back to Foti and he called. Behbehani also called.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} with Foti and Behbehani checking to Golbuff. He fired a bet and both of his opponents called.

The turn was the {3-Spades} and Foti checked. Behbehani checked next and then Golbuff bet. Foti called, but Behbehani folded and was left with less than 60,000 in chips.

On the river when the {J-Hearts} fell, Foti checked and Golbuff bet. Foti couldn't call and mucked his hand. The table begged for Golbuff to show, but he pushed his hand in face down into the muck and scooped in the chips.
