Seidel With a Boat

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Omaha Hi-Low

In a battle of the blinds, Erik Seidel kept betting each street and the small blind check-called all the way on a {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. The river call was rather hesitating and Seidel indeed showed him {K-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} for a full house. The small blind could not beat that and mucked his cards.

Tehan on the Rise

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Stud Hi-Low

Not only George Danzer can win bigger pots on Table 436. Joe Tehan completed with showing a three and Dustin Leary called, putting in chips on each street until seventh. Tehan showed a pair of eights and a 7-5 low, neither of which Leary could beat as he mucked the three down cards.

Tehan: {A-Clubs}{5-Spades} / {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} / {8-Diamonds}
Leary: (x-x) / {2-Spades}{9-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} / muck

Puchkov Takes from Monnette

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Stud Hi-Low

World Series of Poker bracelet winners Konstantin Puchkov and John Monnette just squared off in a big pot of stud hi-low. Unfortunately we didn't arrive until seventh street when Puchkov bet and Monnette called.

Puchkov: {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}
Monnette: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-} / {x-}

Puchkov rolled over a five-nine straight with no low. Monnette threw up his hands in frustration, took one last look at his cards, and then sent them to the muck. Ship the pot to Puchkov.

The Good Life

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Omaha Hi-Low

Raymond Bonavida was the initial raiser from the hijack and Richard Monroe called one seat over, the small blind was short and got the rest of his stack in after the {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop. Bonavida kept betting and Monroe called 1,200 on the {5-Clubs} turn and 2,400 on the {6-Spades} river.

Bonavida turned over {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for the wheel and scooped the hi and low pot, Monroe mucked and the short-stack hit the rail with {A-}{Q-}{4-}{2-}.

Matusow and Moed Chop Up Uchida

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Omaha Hi-Low

Michael Moed opened for 2,400 under the gun and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow called one seat over. When action reached Shunjiro Uchida on the button, he three-bet to 3,600, which prompted both blinds to released. Both Moed and Matusow called and three players saw a flop of {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Moed checked, Matusow bet 1,200, and both his opponents called. All three players then checked the {10-Hearts} turn and the {6-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Moed checked for a third time, Matusow bet 2,400, and Uchida called.

"Alright, I'll make a bad call," Moed said before putting in the necessary chips.

"Just a low," Matusow said and showed the {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Uchida then tabled the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for aces.

"Straight," Moed said as he perked up. Indeed, his {2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop was good for the high, and he was awarded half the pot while Matusow took down the other half with a low.

Matusow The Gambler

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Omaha Hi-Low
"That wasn't really a good card for me," said Mike Matusow after having to chop a pot on the river of a {J-}{J-}{3-}{5-}{2-} board against the remainder of the stack from Shunjiro Uchida. Matusow held {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Spades} and chopped the pot versus {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

"Give me that hand for the rest of my life in Omaha 8 and I will gamble," the Mouth said while the dealer stacked the chips to chop it up.
