Aces for Leah

Level 19 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Benny Glaser limped the small blind, and Mike Leah raised to 72,000 from the big.

Glaser called and both players checked the {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{K-Spades} flop.

The turn landed the {7-Diamonds} and Glaser bet out 116,000 and Leah called, before both players checked the {9-Hearts} on the river.

Glaser tabled his {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, but it would be Leah's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} that would win the pot.

Glaser Over Rast

Level 19 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Brian Rast limped in from the small blind and Benny Glaser checked from the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Rast led out with a bet of 26,000. Glaser thought for a moment, then made it 90,000, and Rast dropped into the tank, thinking for over a minute before calling.

On the {Q-Spades} turn, Rast checked it over to Glaser and Glaser put out a bet of 175,000. Rast thought for a good while before releasing his hand, so Glaser took down the pot.

Katz Gives Up

Level 19 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Greg Mueller opened for a raise under the gun and Aaron Katz three-bet it on the button. Mueller came along and check-called down as the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts}. On the end, he checked a final time and heard some welcome news.

"Don't see how I can win," Katz said with a smile.

Mueller tossed in {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} and dragged the pot.

Leah Dents Mizrachi in Razz

Level 19 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Razz

Shaun Deeb had the bring-in and Michael Mizrachi completed. Mike Leah called, and then led out on fourth as Mizrachi called.

On fifth and sixth, Mizrachi bet and Leah called.

Mizrachi: {X-}{X-} / {6-}{K-}{2-}{7-} / {X-}
Leah: {X-}{X-} / {9-}{8-}{9-}{5-} / {X-}

On seventh, Mizrachi bet dark, and Leah called.

Mizrachi revealed his {Q-}{7-}{5-} for a queen low, but it would be Leah's {A-}{2-}{3-} for an eight-five low that would ensure him the pot.

"Let's See Who Has the Better Jack"

Level 19 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Razz

Shaun Deeb completed showing an ace and Michael Mizrachi made it two bets with a five showing. Action folded back to Deeb and he called before calling a bet of 50,000 on fourth.

Deeb took the lead on fifth with both players showing a jack. He wound up check-calling a bet of 100,000 and then did the same on sixth. On seventh, Deeb checked and Mizrachi fired again.

Deeb: {X-}{X-} / {A-}{J-}{10-}{4-} {X-}
Mizrachi: {X-}{X-} / {5-}{10-}{J-}{3-} / {X-}

Deeb hit the tank and that resulted in Mizrachi rubbing his hands together and joking, "Let's see who has the better jack."

Another minute or so passed before Deeb laid down his hand.

Smith Gets Some From Mueller

Level 19 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Razz

Dan Smith completed with his {2-} and Greg Mueller made it two bets with his {6-}. Action folded back to Smith and he called.

Dan Smith: {x-}{x-}/{2-}{3-}{7-}{7-}/{x-}
Greg Mueller: {x-}{x-}/{6-}{4-}{7-}{8-}/{x-}

Both players checked on fourth street. Then on fifth street, Smith led out with a bet that Mueller called.

On sixth street, Smith paired his seven, so Mueller took the betting lead and bet. Smith made it two bets and Mueller called.

On seventh street, Mueller checked, then called a bet from Smith. Smith turned up his {A-}{5-}{2-} for a seven-five low and it would earn him the pot, taking the chips away from Mueller
