Nassif Cracks Mackey's Aces

Gabriel Nassif doubles.
Gabriel Nassif doubles.

No-Limit Hold'em

Gabriel Nassif opened to 2,400 from early position, James Mackey three-bet to 7,300, and the action folded to Nassif who dipped into the tank. Nassif reached into his stack and grabbed a handful of yellow T1,000 chips, and four-bet to 13,600.

It was Mackey's turn to tank, and after a moment or two he announced, "All in."

Nassif called all in for 46,200, and the hands were opened.

Mackey: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Nassif: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.........{6-Hearts}!

Mackey sighed, then muttered, "God dammit."

Nassif was shipped the pot, doubling to over 90,000 chips.

"I Hate This"

NL 2-7 Single Draw

Vanessa Selbst opened to 4,000 from middle position, Christopher George three-bet to 9,000, and the action folded back to Selbst, who called. Selbst drew one, George stood pat, and Selbst moved all in for effectively 20,000.

"Vanessa Selbst!" George blurted. "God dammit. I hate this. I guarantee that you were going to do this no matter what."

After a little longer, George called. Selbst fanned {8-}{7-}{5-}{3-}{4-} for an eighty-seven low, and George showed {10-}{9-}{6-}{4-}{2-} before mucking.

Mike Wattel{x-}{x-} / {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Spades} / {x-}

We caught the action on fifth street, where Wattel led out and Ashby called. Ashby called another bet on sixth, and Wattel led out blind on seventh. Ashby tank-called.

"Just a pair of queens," Wattel announced, tabling {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Ashby rechecked his hand, then sent it into the muck.

"I was just steaming," Ashby announced.

Hua Gets Half, Boeken and Dipace Take a Quarter

Omaha-8

Vanessa Selbst was under the gun and raised it up and Noah Boeken called immediately to her left. Julien Dipace called from the button and Can Kim Hua defended his big blind giving us four-way action on the flop.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{J-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and the action was checked. The turn was the {8-Spades} and Hua lead out, all players called.

The river brought out the {6-Clubs}, which completed the low draw. The action was checked to Dipace who bet, and both Boeken and Hua called.

Dipace tabled {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} for the nut low and a straight. For a second he thought that was good for both sides, but then Hua turned over {3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flush. Boeken showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and chopped the low with Dipace who was pretty frustrated with not getting at least half the pot.
