Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Ylon Schwartz opened with a raise only to meet a reraise from Dan Smith on the button. Schwartz called.

Both players took one on the first draw, then checked. On the second draw, both players took one again. This time, Schwartz bet and Smith called for his last 500 chips.

On the last draw, Schwartz took one while Smith stood pat. Smith showed his {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-} for an eighty-seven low and Schwartz mucked. That allowed Smith to take down the pot.

Razz

Ivey completed, another player raised and Mike Noori and Ivey both called. There was bundles of action on fourth street with Noori checking to Ivey. The ten-time bracelet winner bet and the third player called. Noori raised and Ivey made it three bets. The third player called before Noori made it four bets. Both players called.

Ivey bet on fifth street, the other player called and Noori was all in for 2,100. Ivey raised and the other player called. Ivey bet on sixth street and his opponent called.

Phil Ivey: {x-}{x-}/{6-}{2-}{4-}{10-}/{x-}
Player 2: {x-}{x-}/{2-}{6-}{6-}{k-}/{x-} - folded on seventh street
Mike Noori: {x-}{x-}/{2-}{3-}{9-}{5-}/{x-}

Ivey bet on seventh street and his opponent quickly folded. Ivey turned over {a-}{4-}{5-} for a six-five and Noori was drawing live to a wheel with {a-}{5-}. However, it would be a tough ask with two fours dead already. He drew an {a-} and was eliminated.

The Hellmuth Comeback Train Starts Chuggin' Along

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Phil Hellmuth from an earlier event.
Phil Hellmuth from an earlier event.

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

A player was on the button and he raised. Amnon Filippi called from the small blind and Phil Hellmuth took a pause before announcing his decision.

"What's the next game?" Hellmuth asked. It was revealed to be no-limit hold'em before Hellmuth called.

On the first draw, Filippi took three, as did Hellmuth, and the button took two. Filippi then checked to Hellmuth who bet.

"You're betting Phil?" the button asked. "I raise."

The button raised and Filippi called. Hellmuth put in the last of his chips, for 1,100 total.

"Somebody give me some more money, please," Hellmuth said after looking at his hand.

On the second draw, Filippi took two while Hellmuth took one and the button took one. Filippi then check-folded to a bet from the button.

Hellmuth pitched in one card and the button decided to stand pat revealing {9-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Hellmuth showed {7-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and sweated his last card.

"Ooo," he said. "We're even."

He then turned up his last card, revealing the {5-} and putting it in its place in his hand.

"And that boys," Hellmuth said, "is called the wheel."

With that, Hellmuth tripled up to right around 4,800.

A Monster Four-Way Pot...in Stud Hi-Lo!

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Kevin Brewer
Kevin Brewer

There was, for a stud hand, an astonishingly large amount in the pot on sixth street, with four players still in the hand. Amnon Filippi and Phil Hellmuth, along with a third player, checked to Kevin Brewer who bet. The three all called and there was just shy of 25,000 chips in the middle heading to seventh street.

Amnon Filippi: {x-}{x-}/{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}/{x-} - folded on seventh street
Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-}/{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Spades}/{x-}
Player 3: {x-}{x-}/{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}/{x-}
Kevin Brewer: {x-}{x-}/{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}/{x-}

Again it checked to Brewer who bet. Filippi folded, but both other players called.

Brewer turned over {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a straight and seven-six low. Phil Hellmuth mucked {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} while the third player mucked {8-}{7-}{2-} for an inferior low. Brewer scooped to leave Hellmuth short.

Kurtzman Pays Off Glaser's Set

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

On the turn with the board showing {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} Benny Glaser was first to act from the small blind. He checked it over to Eric Kurtzman on the button who put out a bet. Glaser then check-raised and Kurtzman called.

The river was the {3-Clubs} and Glaser led out again. Kurtzman called but shook his head when Glaser turned over {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a flopped set.

Glaser raked in the pot to move over 30,000 chips while a dismayed Kurtzman dropped under 20,000.
