Gromenkova Chainsawed

Level 2 : 200/400, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Allen Kessler: {x-}{x-}/{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}/{x-}
Svetlana Gromenkova: {x-}{x-}/{2-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}/{x-}

Picking up the action on sixth street Svetlana Gromenkova checked over to Allen Kessler who put out a bet. Gromenkova called.

On seventh, Gromenkova checked again. Kessler bet again and Gromenkova called. Kessler turned up his {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a straight and a low and it was good as Gromenkova mucked her hand.

"Never bet into someone on fifth if they are holding three low cards," Kessler said after the hand. "That was a nice sweat."

"I started with deuce, three, four, five!" Kessler added as he raked in the pot.

Hachem Takes Three-Quarters From Buchman

Level 2 : 200/400, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action was on the turn on a board of {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{K-Clubs} and action checked to Eric Buchman who was in the big blind. He put out a bet before Joe Hachem made it two bets on the button. The player in the small blind folded but Buchman made it three bets. Hachem called.

The river was the {J-Hearts} and this time both players checked. Buchman showed {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a missed flush draw and the nut low, but Hachem was holding {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Hachem also had the nut low, and a missed flush draw, but his pair of eights was enough to take down the high half of the pot, earning him three quarters.

Shirley Rosario

Omaha Hi-Lo

The board was {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and action checked to Shirley Rosario who had position on three opponents. She put out a bet and Jeff Madsen folded. Two other players called.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and action checked to Rosario again. She bet and one of her opponents called before the other player in the hand made it two bets. Both players called.

On the {5-Diamonds} river, action checked to the player in middle position who bet again. Rosario made it two bets and the other player in the hand folded. The other player called. Rosario showed down her {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for the wheel and nut low and her opponent was also holding {A-}{4-} so they chopped the pot.

Rosario isn't having the best start to the day and despite raking in the pot she still sits with right around 5,000 chips.
