No-Limit Hold'em

After choosing the game, Daniel Negreanu opened with a button raise before Calvin Anderson was all in from the small blind for a little over 11,000.

Negreanu made the call holding {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and was up against Anderson's {A-}{K-}.

The flop brought a king for Anderson, but when Negreanu made a backdoor flush, Anderson would be eliminated.

Obst and Gronning Stay Alive

Level 11 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

James Obst was all in for the main pot, while Lars Gronning was all in for the side pot as David Baker had both players covered.

Obst: {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Gronning: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Baker: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

They had gone all in on the flop of {2-Spades}{K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, and when the turn and river brought the {A-Hearts} and {7-Clubs}, Gronning would quarter Baker for the side pot while Obst and Gronning chopped the main.

Gorodinsky Eliminates Yu

Level 11 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Big O

The board read {7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Spades} and both small blind Dylan Linde and Mike Gorodinsky checked, with Ben Yu sitting between them and all in already. The river was a {4-Hearts} and Linde check-folded to 15,000.

Yu showed {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and got up, clearly expecting to be eliminated. That's exactly what happened as Gorodinsky held {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a flush and a low.

"Gordo is my hero," Mike Matusow said. "Make sure you get that down. Everyone needs a hero in poker and he's been mine for like seven years."

Pot-Limit Omaha

From the button, David Baker raised to 5,100 and Phil Hellmuth called in the small blind.

Both players checked down the {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} board to the river where Hellmuth tossed in 4,000 and Baker called.

Hellmuth tabled his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a set of sixes, and Baker mucked.

Badugi

Heading into the second draw, Adam Friedman in the big blind and Randy Ohel in the cutoff had built a pot of about 50,000. Friedman patted and Ohel took a card. Friedman bet and Ohel tanked about a minute and called. Friedman patted again and Ohel took a final card and called a bet.

Friedman opened {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs} to win the pot. Last night's second-place chip stack is even bigger here in the early going.
