Right Call, Wrong Turn for Hansen

Level 7

No-Limit Hold'em

Right before the break a big hand arose involving Gus Hansen and Brandon Cantu. A significant pot had already developed by the flop with the board showing {4-Spades}{K-Spades}{6-Hearts}, at which point Cantu had shipped his last 105,000 into the middle, forcing Hansen deep into the tank.

Finally the Dane emerged to make the call, turning over {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for top pair of kings, and he was glad to see Cantu turning over {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for bottom pair of fours.

Hansen was decidedly less pleased once the dealer delivered the turn, however — the {7-Spades}. Two pair for Cantu, and after the {8-Clubs} river Cantu had scored a big double while Hansen was left muttering.

Abe Mosseri

2-7 Triple Draw

Abe Mosseri began the day with a short stack and was just all in and at risk in a deuce-to-seven hand against Scott Seiver. Mosseri was standing pat with an {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} while Seiver still had one last live draw to a seven, but Seiver didn't make a winner and Mosseri survived.

The next hand saw Mosseri raising from middle position and getting a single caller in Talal Shakerchi playing from the big blind. Both players took two on the first draw, then Mosseri stood pat while Shakercki drew one on each of the last two rounds. Mosseri led with bets on all three rounds, and after calling the first two, Shakerchi let his hand go.

Deeb Takes on the Octo-Niner

Level 6

No-Limit Hold'em

Shaun Deeb opened for 3,300 in early position and received a call from Octo-Niner Jeremy Ausmus in the hijack. The rest of the field got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop.

Deeb wasted little time in continuing for 2,400, Ausmus called and the dealer burned and turned the {4-Clubs}. Deeb bet again, this time 6,100, and again Ausmus called. When the {8-Spades} completed the board on the river, Deeb slowed down with a check and Ausmus did the same. Ausmus then rolled over the {a-Spades}{3-Spades} for a pair of aces and Deeb rapped the table before mucking his cards.

More Chip Counts

Level 6

Brunson, Makarov Split

Level 6

Picking up the action on fifth street, Alexey Makarov was leading the way by betting his pair of eights showing with Doyle Brunson calling and Dee Tiller stepping aside. Makarov bet sixth as well and Brunson again called, then both players checked on seventh.

Makarov: {x-}{x-} / {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} / {x-}
Brunson: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} / {x-}
Tiller: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} — FOLDED

Makarov tabled {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}, giving him two pair for the high, while Brunson showed {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{4-Spades} to make an 8-6-4-3-A low and they split the pot.

"Just an Ace"

Level 6

2-7 Triple Draw

Greg "FBT" Mueller raised to 4,000 from the hijack and Jared Bleznick defended from the big blind. Bleznick drew one, Mueller two and then the former check-called a bet.

The number of cards draw repeated itself as did the betting. On the final draw, both players took one and each followed that up with a check.

"Just an ace," Mueller said before tabling the {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. It was good as Bleznick sent his cards to the rail.
