Abrams Over 500k

Level 21

2-7 Triple Draw

Scott Abrams opened with a raise before the draw and Sebastian Saffari called from the small blind. Both players drew one new card and Saffari checked. Abrams fired out a bet and Saffari called.

On the second draw, Saffari took one and Abarams stood pat. It was once again checked to Abrams who led out. Saffari called and took one last card.

Both players checked after the final draw and Abrams fanned {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} for an eighty-seven. Saffari mucked and Abrams dragged in the pot. He now has around 515,000 in chips.

Greg Raymer Eliminated in 11th Place ($11,323)

Greg Raymer - 11th Place
Greg Raymer - 11th Place

Omaha-8

2004 WSOP Main Event Champion Greg Raymer has finished 11th after losing his last chips to Brandon Wong in an Omaha-8 hand.

The hand began with Wong raising from the button and Raymer calling from the big blind. The flop came {Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Raymer checked, Wong bet, Raymer raised, Wong three-bet, and Raymer raised all in and Wong called.

Raymer: {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Wong: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Wong had top pair of queens and a backdoor low draw while Raymer had several outs to a straight to win the high. The turn was the {9-Spades} and river the {A-Spades}, and Wong's two pair won the hand. Following his custom Raymer signed a fossil to Wong, wishing everyone luck as he left.

Mike Wattel - 10th Place

2-7 Triple Draw

After losing most of his chips to Sebastian Saffari in a previous 2-7 triple draw hand, Mike Wattel was all in from under the gun for his last 16,000. It folded around to Saffari in the big blind who tossed out a call. Wattel drew one card while Saffari took two.

On the second draw Saffari stood pat and Wattel drew one. Saffari was still pat on the third draw and Wattel went into the tank for over a minute. Eventually he rapped the table back and announced that he had a ten-low.

Saffari fanned {9-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{2-} and Wattel slammed his hand on the table. He was eliminated in 10th place and will collect $14,877 in winnings.

Value for Klein

Level 21

Pot-Limit Omaha

Loren Klein opened for 12,000 from the button and got a single caller in Sebastian Saffari playing out of the big blind.

All three post-flop streets played similarly, with Saffari check-calling Klein's bets each time. First was a check-call of a bet of 15,000 following a {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop. Then came a check-call of a 21,000 bet after the {5-Hearts} turn.

Finally the river brought the {K-Hearts} and another Saffari check, a bet of 46,500 this time from Klein, and one more call from the Englishman.

Klein tabled {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for fours full of fives, and Saffari grinningly exhaled as he mucked.

"I knew you had something cool," said Klein and Saffari nodded. "You weren't bluff-calling me down," added Klein.

No-Limit Hold'em

Brian Tate opened the action by open-shipping all in from under the gun for 90,500. Action folded to Christopher George who called out of the small blind. The big blind folded and the hands were revealed to be racing for Tate's tournament life.

Tate: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
George: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The board came down {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and George's queens full of eights sent Tate packing. Tate took home $14,877 in prize money for his 9th place finish.

The field is now one elimination away from combining to the unofficial final table of seven.

Saffari Over Makowsky

Level 21

Razz

Daniel Makowsky completed, Sebastian Saffari raised, and Makowsky called. Makowsky called then check-called bets by Saffari on the next two streets, then there was some discussion on sixth street when Makowsky thought Saffari had checked when Saffari insisted he had not.

At that point, Saffari had ({x-}{x-}) / {2-}{K-}{3-}{A-} and Makowsky ({x-}{x-}) / {3-}{K-}{A-}{Q-}. The floor was called and ruled Saffari had not checked, and so he bet and Makowsky called. Both then checked seventh.

Saffari turned over {4-}{2-}{10-} for a 10-4-3-2-A, and after studying his cards for a while Makowsky mucked.

Limit Hold'em

Thomas Kettel battled with a short stack for much of Level 21, but finally lost the last of his chips to Daniel Makowsky in a limit hold'em hand.

We arrived as the final cards were being dealt, with Kettel already all in with {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} and Makowsky holding {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The board ended up {7-Spades}{K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}, the river card making a flush for Kettel but completing a full house for Makowsky.

The last seven players are now redrawing to be seated around the not-quite-final final table.
