Kostritsyn Doubles But Still Very Short

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Eric Wasserson raised from the cutoff and Alexander Kostritsyn called all in for 17,000 from the big blind.

Kostritsyn drew two, two and two, while Wasserson went two, two and one.

Kostritsyn showed {8-}{4-}{2-} and pulled an {A-} and a {Q-}, while Wasserson showed {5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and pulled a {6-} to make an unhelpful straight, giving Kostristyn the double.

No-Limit Hold'em

Dan Smith opened to 15,000 in the cutoff and Elior Sion three-bet the big blind to 50,000.

Smith: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Sion: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and the pot was chopped up.

Defending Champ Slipping

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Stud

Yehuda Buchalter: {x-}{x-}/{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}/{x-}
Elior Sion: {x-}{x-}/{K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}/{x-}

Picking up the action on fifth street, Elior Sion put out a bet with the betting lead and Yehuda Buchalter called. Sion bet again on sixth and Buchalter called.

On seventh street, Buchalter called one more bet from Sion. Sion turned up his {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a pair of aces, but he was no good. Buchalter showed his {4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} for two pair and that earned him the pot.

Johns Survives and Doubles through Galfond

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Ian Johns
Ian Johns

Razz

Phil Galfond completed holding his {A-} and Ian Johns made it two bets with his {6-}. Action folded back to Galfond who called. Galfon drew a {2-} and Johns pulled an {A-}. Galfond then bet, Johns moved all in and Galfond called.

Here's how the two players boards ran out.

Ian Johns: {3-}{5-}/{6-}{A-}{10-}{9-}/{3-}
Phil Galfond: {8-}{6-}/{a-}{2-}{10-}{8-}/{q-}

Johns ended up making a nine-low by sixth street and Galfond pulled a {q-} on seventh, making his hand a ten-low, so Johns didn't have to sweat his seventh street card at all. With that double, Johns is back over 100,000 chips.

Haxton and Ivey called, and on fifth street, a bet of 24,000 from Martin was enough to take down the pot.

Haxton: {X-}{X-} / {A-}{J-}{3-}
Ivey: {X-}{X-} / {8-}{K-}{K-}
Martin: {X-}{X-} / {8-}{4-}{6-}
