Potter Chips Up; Lubarsky Takes a Hit

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante
Hal Lubarsky
Hal Lubarsky

A player raised in middle position, and Jason Potter defended his big blind. Both players checked on the flop ({9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}) and the turn ({a-Diamonds}), and the {k-Spades} completed the board. Potter led out, and that was good enough to win him the pot.

A few tables over, Hal Lubarsky three-bet an early position raiser. A player near the button cold-called, the original raiser called as well, and the flop fell {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The original raiser checked, Lubarsky bet, and the player near the button called. The original raiser check-raised, and both players call.

Lubarsky folded to a bet when the {6-Diamonds} turned though, leaving himself with just 1,800 chips.

Hellmuth Folds the Winner

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

A player limped in from early position, a second player raised in the cutoff, and Phil Hellmuth cold-called in the big blind. The limper called as well.

The action folded to the raiser on a flop of {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and he bet. Hellmuth called, the limper-check-raised, and both the raiser and Hellmuth called.

The {10-Diamonds} on the turn paired the board, and Hellmuth checked again. The limper fired out a bet, and this time only the raiser called. Both players checked when the {q-Clubs} completed the board.

The limper showed two jacks, which earned him the pot, and Hellmuth winced at the sight of the players hand.

"I had ace-queen!" he yelped.

Despite losing the pot, the Poker Brat is still trending upwards, and sits with 11,000 chips.

Ivey Busts One

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

Phil Ivey raised in middle position, and a very short-stacked player called all in near the button.

Ivey: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, giving Ivey a set of sevens, but the {8-Hearts} turned, leaving the player with four outs to make a straight. The {k-Hearts} bricked on the river, however, and the player was eliminated.

Ivey now sits with 10,000 chips.

Witteles Busts Three

Level 7 : Blinds 200/400, 0 ante

You read that correctly.

Just before the break, a sick hand went down on Table 364. When all of the action was completed, and the hands were opened, the table looked like this:

Todd Witteles: QJ
Earl Barron: AQ
Opponent 1: JJ
Opponent 2: 1010

Board: 310J27

Witteles scooped the whole pot, eliminating three players and increasing his stack to 24,000 chips (he's since fallen to 21,000). He tweeted the following photo.

Buchman Kisses Chips Goodbye

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

Terrence Chan raised in early position, Eric Buchman defended, and the flop came {10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Buchman check-raised Chan, who called, and the turn brought the {k-Hearts}.

Buchman checked again, Chan instantly bet, and Buchman tank-called.

The river was repeat ten - the {10-Diamonds} - and Buchman checked a third time. Chan tossed out a bet, then Buchman grabbed enough to chips to call, kissed them, then flicked them forward. Chan showed {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for kings and tens, winning the pot.
