Two Off The Money; Yu Doubles Up

No-Limit Hold'em

Daniel Alaei raised from the cutoff to 25,000 to kick things off. Roland Israelashvili three-bet to 105,000 from the small blind, and Ben Yu moved allin from the big. Alaei folded and Israelashvili made the call.

Ben Yu{A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Roland Israelashvili{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts} giving Yu a much needed double up with the money bubble in sight.

Two Hands Involving Klodnicki

Omaha-8

John Monnette raised from the hijack seat and Chris Klodnicki reraised from the small blind. Monnette called and the flop came down {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Both checked.

On the {9-Clubs} turn, both checked again and the {4-Clubs} landed on the river. Both checked again.

"Aces," announced Klodnicki before turning over the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. He won the pot as Monnette mucked his hand.

On the next hand, action folded to Andy Bloch in the cutoff seat and he raised. Klodnicki reraised on the button and Bloch called.

Bloch check-raised on the {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop after Klodnicki bet. Klodnicki called to see the {3-Spades} land on the turn. Bloch bet and Klodnicki called.

On the end, the {4-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Bloch bet and Klodnicki called.

Bloch showed the {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a set of tens and Klodnicki mucked his hand.

Schwartz Steaming

Luke Schwartz
Luke Schwartz

Omaha-8

David Baker just raised if up from the hijack and Luke Schwartz called on the button. Both blinds folded and the flop came down {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

Baker bet 25,000 and Schwartz instantly raised it up to 50,000. Baker called. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {5-Spades} and Baker bet 50,000. This is when it got interesting.

"How the f*** do I miss this f***king draw!" Schwartz shouted as he held his cards high up in the air.

Schwartz sat motionless for about five seconds before slamming his cards, {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, hard onto the table.

"Matt Glantz would never f***king miss that!" Schwartz cried out as Andy Bloch couldn't keep a straight face. Schwartz shook his head, and went over to his rail to complain some more about how he missed this massive draw. Schwartz still has plenty of chips left, while Baker moved back up over the million chip mark.
