Katz Wins on the Flop

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Aaron Katz opened to 17,000 from under the gun and Chris Vitch called on the button, as did Benny Glaser in the big blind.

The flop landed {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and after a Glaser check, Katz bet out 27,000.

Vitch folded, as did Glaser, and Katz collected the pot.

Stud

Yehuda Buchalter completed with his {7-Spades} and he was called by Eric Wasseron with his {5-Spades} and Elior Sion showing his {6-Clubs}. Buchalter bet on fourth and both opponents called. On fifth street, Wasserson made a pair and moved all in, only Sion called.

Eric Wasserson: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}/{5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Elior Sion: {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}/{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Yehuda Buchalter: {x-}{x-}/{7-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} — Folded on fifth

Sion drew an {8-Spades} on the turn and that was it for Wasserson when he drew a {9-Diamonds} leaving him drawing dead. The final boards looked like so:

Eric Wasserson: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}/{5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}/{K-Spades}
Elior Sion: {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}/{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades}/{7-Clubs}

With that Wasserson hit the rail while Sion moved to right around 575,000 chips.
