Devonshire Looking for More Omaha 8 Success

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante
Bryan Devonshire
Bryan Devonshire

Back in 2007, Bryan Devonshire finished runner-up to Alexander Kravchenko in this very event. Both men are in today's field and looking to duplicate their success, but Devonshire isn't exactly off to a great start.

In a recent hand, the board read {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} when Devonshire bet from the big blind and his opponent in early position called. When the {7-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Devonshire moved all in for his last 225 and his opponent called. Devonshire tabled the {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a full house, which could only get half the pot as his opponent tabled a low with the {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

Based on his Tweets, it appears Devonshire hasn't been running well here on Day 1:

Bryan Devonshire@devochips I wish I could say that I was playing bad and that's why I am losing because I could fix that. 1425 and shellshocked.

"Downtown" Demolished

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

In the last hand of Level 3, Dennis Yares limped the cutoff and a short-stacked "Downtown" Chad Brown did the same from the small blind. The big checked his option and it was three-way action to the {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop.

Brown took the initiative and led out for 100, the big blind folded and Yares made the call. Brown then bet 200 on the {5-Clubs} turn, leaving himself a single green T25 chip behind, and Yares once again called. Brown's last chip went in on the {Q-Spades} river and Yares called with the {10-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a rivered flush.

Brown took one last look at his {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, wished the table luck and then exited the Braisilia Room.

Zeidman Forced to Play

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Five players each put in 100, including World Series of Poker bracelet winner Cory Zeidman in the big blind, to see a flop of {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The small blind checked, Zeidman bet and two players made the call.

When the dealer burned and turned the {6-Diamonds}, the small blind checked for a second time and Zeidman tossed out another bet. An in-between player called, the small blind folded and then both Zeidman and his opponent checked the {2-Clubs} river.

"Three jacks," Zeidman said and showed the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. It was good enough to scoop the pot as his opponent showed the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

Brown Cuts It Thin to Stay Alive

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

We walked into a hand where Chad Brown was all in for his last few chips, making a side pot of around 1,000 with two other opponents.

The board came {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, which gave Brown a six-high straight for the high, allowing him to chop the side-pot for a 525 win. Brown is still alive, but he'll need to start scooping some pots to keep up with the blinds in Level 3.
