Owais Triples

Level 27

Razz

Viatcheslav Ortynskiy completed with {a-Diamonds}, Owais Ahmed raised with {2-Diamonds} and Tom Schneider cold-called with {8-Hearts}. Ortynskiy made the call as well. On fourth street, Ortynskiy bet again after catching a {6-Spades}. and Ahmed raised all in for just under one more bet. Schneider cold-called again, and Ortynskiy called. Both players checked the side pot on fifth despite Schneider pairing, and Ortynskiy folded to a bet on sixth.

Schneider: {4-}{a-}/{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Ahmed: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Ahmed said he had an eight-low, but we didn't catch the exact cards. Schneider announced an "eight-perfect," and caught a {k-} on the end, so Ahmed needed to improve his own eight-low to win. He did just that with a {7-} on seventh.

Porter Survives with Three-Quarters

Level 27

Omaha Eight or Better

Viatcheslav Ortynskiy raised from the button, and Rep Porter called from the big blind. The flop came {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, and both players checked. Porter bet out on the {3-Diamonds} turn card, and Ortynskiy called. The river was the {6-Clubs}, and Porter bet all-in for his last 55,000. Ortynskiy called, and Ortynskiy turned up {5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for 8-6-5-3-2 low and two pair for high. Porter turned over {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades} for an identical low and three sixes for high. Porter won the high with his trips, and the players split the low half of the pot.

After being all-in on the hand, Porter is now up to 300,000, while Ortynskiy took a small hit but still sits with 1.4 million in chips.

Schneider Works a Miracle

Level 27

Omaha Eight or Better

Tom Schneider completed from the small blind, and Viatcheslav Ortynskiy raised his option. Schneider made the call.

Schneider check-called the {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, as well as the {2-Clubs} turn. The river brought a very interesting card: {2-Hearts}. Schneider checked once more, and Ortynskiy checked behind him.

Schneider showed {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for deuces full of fives. Ortynskiy could only start laughing in frustration.

"Oh my God," he said, turning over the {8-Clubs} as he mucked his hand.

"Miracle worker!" someone from Schneider's rail shouted.

Porter again called. Acton went bet-call again on the {5-Spades} river, and Schneider showed {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Porter mucked, and Schneider took the pot.

Level 27

Stud Eight or Better

Owais Ahmed completed on third street showing a {4-Spades}, and Tom Schneider called with a {5-Clubs}. Ahmed bet out after being dealt the {6-Hearts} on fourth street, and Schneider, who received the {3-Diamonds} called. Ahmed then checked fifth street after adding the {5-Hearts} to his board. Schneider, who was dealt the {6-Spades} bet, and Ahmed called. Schneider paired his three on sixth street and bet out, and Ahmed called after receiving the {j-Spades}. Schneider led out again on the river, but this time Ahmed raised. Schneider quickly called, and Ahmed turned over {6-}{7-}{8-} for a straight and an eighty-seven. Schneider, however, showed {3-}{7-}{7-} for a full house, and despite Ahmed's seemingly strong hand, the players split the pot.

Frankie O'Dell Eliminated in 5th Place ($53,739)

Level 27
Frankie O'Dell - 5th Place.
Frankie O'Dell - 5th Place.

Stud

Frankie O'Dell completed with a {9-Spades}, and Owais Ahmed raised with {a-Diamonds}. O'Dell made the call. He then called Ahmed's bets on every street until Ahmed was all in on seventh.

O'Dell: {a-Spades}{k-}{4-Spades}/{9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Ahmed: {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}/{a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Ahmed's aces up were best, and O'Dell was left crippled.

Stud Eight or Better

O'Dell brought it in with a complete bet, and action folded around to Viatcheslav Ortynskiy, who called in last position. The two got enough chips in to put O'Dell all in on fifth street.

O'Dell: {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Ortynskiy: {6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Things looked dire for O'Dell when Ortynskiy revealed his down cards: {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a straight and a made low. O'Dell made an eight-six on seventh, and looked to be in decent shape to survive with a chop. Ortynskiy turned over a {3-Clubs}, however, and his seven-low was good for that half of the pot as well.

Ahmed Crippled

Level 27

Owais Ahmed completed showing the {a-Clubs}, and Tom Schneider ({7-Clubs}) and Viatcheslav Ortynskiy ({4-Diamonds}) both called. Ahmed bet on fourth and fifth street, then all players checked sixth street and the river with the following boards:

Ahmed: {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Schneider: {7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Ortynskiy: {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Ahmed turned over one of his down cards, the {5-Diamonds} for a pair of fives. Schneider then turned over {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of sixes, and Ortynskiy mucked. Schneider's sixes were good enough to win, and Ahmed is left with only 135000 in chips.
