Razz

Tommy Hang: {x-}{x-} / {9-}{10-}{2-}{k-} / {x-}
Don Nguyen: {x-}{x-} / {6-}{k-}{7-}{j-} / {x-}

Tommy Hang completed and Don Nguyen looked him up. Hang, who took the lead on fourth, bet and Nguyen called. Hang then check-called a bet on fifth before check-raising on sixth. Nguyen called and then both players checked seventh. Hang tabled {6-}{3-}{q-} for a 10-9-6-3-2 low, but it was no good as Nguyen rolled over {10-}{5-}{4-} for a 10-7-6-5-4 low. Hang was left with just 11,000 after the hand.

Hang: {x-}{x-} / {4-}{q-}{3-}{10-} / {x-}
Matthew Ashton: {x-}{x-} / {5-}{10-}{3-}{j-} / {x-}
Nguyen: {x-}{x-} / {4-}{7-}{9-}{4-} / {x-}

In the next hand, Matthew Ashton completed and Don Nguyen called. Hang committed his last 1,000 and watched the side action. Ashton proceeded to check-call bets on fourth, fifth and sixth before leading out on seventh.

Nguyen called and showed {8-}{3-}{2-} for a 8-7-4-3-2 low and Ashton mucked. Hang tabled {a-}{6-}{q-} for a 10-6-4-3-A low and then took his leave just shy of the dinner break.

Since returning from the dinner break there really hasn't been much action to speak of. The hands are taking a long time to play out, but not many chips are exchanging hands. We expect this will change sooner than later.

Hennigan Loses Two Big Pots to Ly in LHE

Level 20
Minh Ly
Minh Ly

Limit Hold'em

Minh Ly raised on the button, John Hennigan made it three bets in the big blind, and Ly called. Hennigan led out on the flop ({3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}) and the turn ({a-Clubs}), and Ly called both bets. The {2-Spades} completed the board, Hennigan checked, and Ly fired out a bet. Hennigan folded, and Ly raked in the pot.

The very next hand, Ly raised again, and Hennigan three-bet from the small blind. Ly called, and again Hennigan led out on the first two streets as the board came {5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Spades}. Ly called both bets.

The river was the {8-Clubs}, Hennigan led out a third time, and Ly raised. Hennigan called, showing {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a set, but Ly showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for Broadway.

After losing the two pots, Hennigan plummeted to 1.3 million chips, while Ly rocketed to 2.54 million.

Stud-8

Michael Glick: {x-}{x-} / {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} / {x-}
Bryn Kenney: {x-}{x-} / {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Spades} / {x-}

George Danzer brought it in with the {2-Spades}, Michael Glick completed, and Kenney raised. Danzer folded, Glick called, and Glick called another bet on fourth street. Kenney led again on fifth, Glick went all in for less than two bets, and Kenney called.

Glick: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Kenney: {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Glick picked up a low draw on sixth, while Kenney didn't improve on sixth or seventh ({10-Clubs}). Glick could scoop the pot with an ace or a three, and chop with a four, five, seven, or eight. He found the {3-Hearts} on seventh, scooping the entire pot and doubling to 600,000 chips.

Kenney dropped down to 287,000.
