Limit Hold'em

Shaun Deeb raised on the button and Brian Rast defended from the big blind with a call.

The flop was {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Rast checked over to Deeb who put out a bet. Rast called.

The turn was the {2-Hearts} and Rast checked again. Deeb put out another bet and this time Rast check-raised, making it two bets. Deeb thought for a bit then called.

On the {2-Diamonds} river, Rast led out with a bet. Deeb thought for a bit then called, but made a face when Rast turned up his {K-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a full house. After that pot, Deeb was pushed down to just about 250,000 while Rast moved to over a million once again.

The action folded to Mike Leah in the small blind, and he raised to 120,000. Shaun Deeb pushed forward his 153,000 total, and Leah called.

Leah drew one and Deeb drew three. On the second draw, Leah stood pat and Deeb drew one.

On the final draw, saw Leah stood pat again as Deeb drew one.

Leah: {9-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{2-}
Deeb: {7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}

Deeb needed to hit any nine, eight, five, or three to stay alive, but as he began squeezing, he immediately found paint and was consequently eliminated in 10th place from the Poker Players Championship for $111,447 in prize money.

Stud

Phil Ivey completed with the {6-Hearts} and John Hennigan defended the bring-in with the {3-Hearts}. We didn't see who bet fourth, but Hennigan came out firing on fifth before both checked sixth.

Ivey: {x-}{x-}/{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts}/{x-}
Hennigan: {x-}{x-}/{3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}/{x-}

Hennigan bet the end and Ivey called, losing showdown to {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a set of threes.

"Another big smile on 'World's' face," Katz said. "Even his forehead's smiling."

Level 20 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Michael Mizrachi raised to 66,000 first to act and action folded to the blinds where Mike Leah called from the big.

The flop was {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Leah checked to Mizrachi who continued with a bet of 72,000. Leah rolled some chips into the pot to call.

On the {5-Clubs} turn, Leah checked again. Mizrachi put out another bet, this time making it 226,000. Leah thought for a bit, checked his cards, then called.

On the {3-Hearts} river, Leah checked a third time. Mizrachi thought for a bit himself, then cut out a bet of 900,000. Immediately Leah looked over to Mizrachi and raised his eyebrows. He then leaned back and took a sip of his drink. After over a minute in the tank, Leah smiled, nodded, and let his hand go, so Mizrachi took down the pot.
