Busquet Folds, Still Sitting Pretty

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Olivier Busquet opened for a min-raise of 800 from under the gun and was met with four callers from a variety of positions.

Busquet continued for 1,600 on the {2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop with the button and big blind the only two callers as the turn landed the {4-Clubs}.

The big blind and Busquet checked before the button tossed in 4,200 which prompted folds from both the big blind and Busquet. Busquet however still sits at a very healthy 68,000 in chips.

Five-Way All-In Pot Shipped To Sohrabi; Three Players Eliminated

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Yurel Eminoglu
Yurel Eminoglu

Wow!

What. A. Hand.

An innocent raise from a player under the gun to 1,100 started the action over on Table 443 in the Purple Section of the Amazon Room before play folded over to a player in middle position. That player moved all in for 11,700. Right behind the shove, Mac Sohrabi was in the hijack seat and reraised all in for 23,100. Then, the player on the button called all in for 16,550 before action slid over to Yucel Eminoglu in the big blind.

Eminogla tanked and tanked, before eventually getting the clock called on him by not one, but two others at his table. After about 30 seconds, he shoved a giant stack of T5,000 chips into the middle, having all players in the hand well covered. As if four players weren't enough excitement for this pot, the original raiser from under the gun snap-called and created a five-way all-in pot!

Here's what we saw:

Under-the-gun player: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Middle-position shove: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Sohrabi: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Button: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Eminoglu: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The player under the gun snap-called all in for around 40,000 in chips holding the {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, but it was Sohrabi who held the best hand going into the battle with his pocket queens.

Following a runout on the flop, turn and river of {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Sohrabi's queens held strong and he was awarded the main pot. He moved to nearly 100,000. Eminoglu was able to scoop a side pot from the player who held the {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and move to 150,300 in chips. The other three players were all eliminated.

Raymond Rayme Eliminated

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Raymond Rahme, the third-place finisher in the 2007 WSOP Main Event, has been eliminated.

Rahme pushed all in preflop, and was called by Valeri Savov. Rahme showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, and Savov turned over {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. The flop was grim for Rahme, coming {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and pairing Savov's ace. The turn was the {10-Spades}, giving Rahme some hope with an inside straight draw. The river, however, was the {10-Diamonds}, no help to Rahme. Savov raked in the chips, and Rahme made his exit.

Castaneda Runs Into Maimone's Flush

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in early position opened to 1,500 and Nick Maimone called on the button along with dana Castaneda from the large blind.

Castaneda bet out 3,000 on the {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop with both players calling as the {7-Hearts} landed on the turn. Castaneda quickly tossed in 3,000 again and was called in both spots as the {4-Spades} landed on the river.

Castaneda fired out 4,000 and the preflop raiser folded while Maimone quickly made the call tabling his {J-Spades}{3-Spades} to better Castaneda's {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for rivered trips.
