Gathy Flushes Bonomo

Level 8

Michael Gathy

Limit Holdem

Justin Bonomo joined the action half-way through Day 1 but hasn't been able to capitalize on his late registration just yet as he is down to 15,000.

Bonomo, Michael Gathy, and Michael McKenna were in the hand as the flop read {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and all three players went to the turn of the {a-Hearts}. Bonomo, who was under the gun, checked and Gathy bet which both his opponents called.

On the {2-Clubs} river, Gathy once again bet after being checked to, and only Bonomo made the call. Gathy tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for the nut flush, and Heads-up Championship winner Bonomo mucked.

Israelashvili Escapes For Now

Level 8

Seven Card Stud

Andrey Zhigalov: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Jean-Robert Bellande: {X-} {X-} / {9-Clubs}{K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} / {X-}

Jean-Robert Bellande called down bets of Andrey Zhigalov from fourth to seventh street and the Russian announced aces up before rolling over aces and jacks to scoop the pot.

Roland Israelashvili: {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Cory Zeidman: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

One table over, Roland Israelashvili was all in after fifth street with a pair of fives showing and needed some help against the pair of queens of Cory Zeidman. Israelashvili spiked the {7-Clubs} on sixth to hit two pair, while Zeidman got a blank with the {2-Hearts}.

The {2-Spades} on seventh changed nothing for Israelashvili, while Zeidman failed to deal the final blow when his final card was the {9-Spades}.

Thater Scoops Vital Pot

Katja Thater

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo

Katja Thater: {X-} {X-} / {8-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} / {X-}
Richard Bai: {X-} {X-} / {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} / {X-}

Katja Thater bet from fourth to seventh street and picked up a quick call by Richard Bai prior to the final street, which required further consideration by Bai. He carefully checked his stack and sighed before tossing in a single T-5,000 chip for the call.

Thater rolled over {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a pair of aces and an eighty-six to scoop the entire pot.

Deeb Wins at Showsdown

Level 8

Limit Hold'em

Shaun Deeb was on the button and saw his bet called by David Benyamine with the flop reading {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}. Small blind Benyamine decided to call bets on the {2-Diamonds} turn and {k-Clubs} river as the players showed down their hands.

Shaun Deeb: {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}
David Benyamine: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Deebs's pair of deuces was enough to swoop in the pot in this battle of bracelet winners.

Deeb and Cousineau Win One

Level 8

Limit Hold'em

Robert Campbell defended his big blind against a raise by Shaun Deeb and ended up check-calling the {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} turn before betting the {8-Hearts} on the river. Deeb called and was shown the {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a missed straight draw by Campbell, claiming the pot with the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}.

One hand later, Ashish Gupta raised on the button and Tony Cousineau defended the big blind. Both opted to check the {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop and Cousineau check-called a bet on the {10-Diamonds} turn. The {2-Diamonds} river was checked once more and Cousineau's {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a flush with the six ended up winning the pot. However, Cousineau remains at around half the starting stack right now.
