Nguyen Wins, Wipes Out Wolansky

Level 17

Stud-8

Steven Wolansky has been eliminated in 24th place after losing most of his chips in a three-way hand involving Scotty Nguyen and Scott Abrams, then the rest in another hand involving the same two opponents.

The first hand saw the three get to fifth street at which point Abrams was leading and both Wolansky and Nguyen calling. Then on sixth Abrams led again, Wolansky raised, and both Nguyen and Abrams called.

The pot was big, and the boards looked as follows:

Abrams: ({x-}{x-}) / {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Nguyen: ({x-}{x-}) / {2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Wolansky: ({x-}{x-}) / {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{A-Spades}

On seventh Wolansky checked, Nguyen bet, and Abrams called. With but 7,000 left, to call would mean putting his last chips in the middle, and after thinking it over he folded his hand.

"8-6 baby," said Nguyen, tabling his hole cards to show he'd made an 8-6 low. "Aces," said Abrams, turning over {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and the pair split the big pot.

The next hand saw Wolansky all in by third street against the same two, but by fifth Nguyen had bet Abrams out of the pot. By then Nguyen had ({A-Spades}{5-Spades}) / {5-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Wolansky ({3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}) / {6-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

Nguyen would draw {10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} to end with aces and fives with no low, while Wolansky picked up {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} to end with nines and sixes and be eliminated.

Buchanan Busto

Level 17
Shawn Buchanan
Shawn Buchanan

Stud

Shawn Buchanan{x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} / {x-}
Sebastion Saffari{x-}{x-} / {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {x-}

We picked up with the action on sixth street to find Shawn Buchanan check over to Sebastion Saffari. Saffari fired out a bet and Buchanan called to see seventh. Both players peeked at their final cards and Buchanan checked once again. Saffari fired out one more bet and Buchanan went into the tank. He pondered for roughly a minute before shrugging and moving out a call.

Saffari rolled over {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts} for two pair- kings and jacks. Buchanan mucked his cards and watched as the pot was pushed to Saffari.

This hand left Buchanan crippled with around 2,200 and he was eliminated from play a few hands later in 25th place.

James Out

Level 17

Razz

Thomas Kettel completed on third street and Kenna James called. James called again on fourth, then on fifth James raised, Kettel three-bet, and James called all in with his remaining chips.

Kettel: ({A-}{6-}) / {2-}{4-}{3-}
James: ({8-}{5-}) / {4-}{10-}{3-}

"Oh wow, I'm already drawing dead," said James as he studied Kettel's hand across the table. "No wait, not quite," he added, but after another {10-} was sent his way on sixth, he said "now I am," and soon left as the 26th-place finisher.

Raymer Doubles Through Porter

Level 17

Pot-Limit Omaha

Benjamin Dobson was under the gun and opened to 5,000. Loren Klein called from the cutoff and it folded around to Rep Porter who called from the small blind. Greg Raymer announced a three-bet to 25,000 from the big blind and action folded back around to Porter who put Raymer all in for just a bit more. Raymer called off for his tournament life.

Porter: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Raymer: {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Raymer was well behind and it looked even more bleak after the flop brought {9-Spades}{Q-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Fourth street brought the {7-Spades}, however, and Raymer was able to make two pair. Raymer finished the hand with a set of treys as the {3-Spades} completed the board and he was able to secure himself a double up to around 78,000. With this hit, Porter fell to around 96,000.

Stenheim's Run Stopped in 27th

Level 17

Omaha-8

Morten Stenheim came back from the last break of the night to a stack of just 6,700 chips, and soon he was open-raising all in from middle position, without even enough to make a full raise. Both Tom McCormick (small blind) and Mike Wattel (big blind) called, and when McCormick checked the {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Wattel bet and McCormick stepped aside.

Wattel had {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Stenheim {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river the {10-Clubs}, meaning Wattel had scooped and Stenheim was out in 27th.

Abrams Takes Massive Pot From James

Level 16

Pot-Limit Omaha

Scott Abrams opened with a raise to 4,100 from the cutoff. Kenna James announced a pot sized raise from the button which mad it 14,700 to go. The blinds folded and action was back on Abrams who quietly called the three-bet.

The flop brought {Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Abrams checked. James rapped the table behind and the {6-Hearts} hit the turn. Abrams checked for a second time and James shot 15,000 into the middle. Abrams came over the top and pushed a large stack of chips into the middle.

"How much is that?" asked James.

"Forty-six thousand," replied the dealer.

"Alright, I call."

James' quick call prompted the dealer to burn and deal the {5-Diamonds} on the river. Abrams moved a stack of 21,000 into the middle and James stood up out of his seat. He looked at the board, at Abrams, then right back at the board. He moved in calling chips.

Abrams rolled over {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a straight with his seven and five. James shook his head and dropped his hand straight into the muck. Abrams scooped up the massive pot and now sits at 260,000 in chips.
