Raymer Gone

Omaha-8

When we reached Table 453, Greg Raymer was already all in with the board reading {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

"I'm not looking until the river," Raymer announced.

Mary Jones checked, Ralph Levy bet, and Kosei Ichinose called. Jones released, and the river brought the [2]. Both players checked.

Levy tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for a pair of kings, Ichinose showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for the nut-low, and the two chopped the pot.

Raymer mucked, and was eliminated.

MacPhee Scoops One Up

Stud-8

MacPhee: {x-}{x-} / {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{3-Clubs} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} / {x-}

When we arrived at the table, Kevin MacPhee and one opponent were already on seventh street and were committing one bet each. At showdown, MacPhee tabled his {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}, with his aces-up and eighty-five low enough to scoop up the sizable pot.

Barbero Busts One

Stud-8

Nacho Barbero was quite active before the break and it has stayed that way into this level. Barbero recently eliminated one player when the player was all-in during the first round of betting in a Stud Eight-or-Better hand.

Barbero managed to make aces-up and with no high better than that, and no qualifying low, the player was sent to the rail, while Barbero raked in the chips.

An Iconic Double

Omaha-8

Bryan "The Icon" Micon raised in late position, Ryan Miller made it three bets on his direct left, and a player in the blinds cold-called. Micon called as well, and the flop came {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The action checked to Miller who bet, and only Micon called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts}, and Micon checked again. Miller bet, and Micon check-raised, leaving only a few T100 chips behind. Miller thought for a bit before re-raising enough to put Micon all in, and Micon called.

Micon{a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Miller{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Miller was ahead, but the {5-Spades} spiked on the river, giving Micon a full house, and the entire pot.

Barbero Loses a Bunch

Stud-8

Barbero: {x-}{x-} / {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} / {x-}

We arrived at Table 458 with Nacho Barbero and one opponent already on fifth street. Barbero's opponent led here and on sixth and Barbero called both times. On seventh, Barbero's opponent again bet and Barbero just shook his head and leaned back in his chair. It took a long time for Barbero to decide what to do, but eventually opted to call.

When Barbero's opponent turned over {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{j-Spades}, the small pair and the low hand were enough to send Barbero's cards flying into the muck.

Greenstein No More

We noticed Barry Greenstein was missing from his table and took to Twitter to investigate. Here's what he had to say.

"Out of ‪#wsop42‬. Never got it going."
