Tieman Chips Up

When we reached Table 1 in the Gold Section of the Brasilia Room, the flop and turn had already been dealt {10-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. A player checked to Josh Tieman, who bet 3,500. His opponent called.

The {7-Diamonds} completed the board and Tieman's opponent checked again. Tieman tossed out 6,000, and his opponent called.

Tieman tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a queen-high straight, and his opponent mucked.

Trading Hats

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante
Sebastian Bastian in Event 34.
Sebastian Bastian in Event 34.

Sebastian Bastian, who finished twelfth in Event 34: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha - Six-Handed, is in the field today, and sporting the same red, feathery hat he wore during his deep run. Moments ago, Mike Matusow and Noah Schwartz offered to buy his hat, but Bastian refused, citing that it helps his poker face.

"Come on," Matusow bargained. "I've got a [UNLV] Rebels hat, and Noah has...what kind of hat is that?"

"Gucci," Schwartz answered.

"Gucci," Matusow echoed. "A rebels hat and a Gucci hat."

Bastian still refused, but he allowed Matusow to try it on.

"This has to be me," Matusow announced. "I feel good."

"I guarantee your cards will change too," Schwartz added.

Bastian asked for a percentage of Matusow's winning while wearing the hat, but Matusow let him down, folding the only hand he played wearing it.

"I never win a pot, buddy," Matusow lamented.

Big Pot for DeMaci

When we reached the table, Chris DeMaci, Cary Katz, and a third player were all in preflop.

DeMaci{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Katz{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The {3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop gave DeMaci a set of kings, but Katz held a flush draw. He binked said flush when the {6-Diamonds} turned, but the {3-Clubs} on the river paired the board, giving DeMaci a full house.

Catz was forced to cash in his final lammer, while DeMaci still has both of his and around 35,000 in chips.
