Rice has the Nut-Nut

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Badacey

Jack Rice and Benny Glaser got through all three draws with a significant pile of chips in the pot. Rice put in a final bet and Glaser called. Rice tabled his hand and Glaser took a good look.

"You have the nut-nut?" Rice did indeed have the best possible badacey hand with the {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, scooping the pot and improving to 87,000 chips.

Noam Busted After Drawing Very Poorly

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Danny Noam
Danny Noam

A-5 Triple Draw

Danny Noam got 10,000 of his 10,500 in from the big blind before the draw, with David "ODB" Baker and Josh Arieh playing to the first pull as well. Noam and Baker took two and Arieh one. Noam bet the last 500, Baker called and Arieh raised. Baker called and everyone drew the same number. Baker check-called in the side pot. Noam still needed two, Baker one and Arieh patted.

Baker check-folded and Arieh showed {7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}{a-}. Noam laughed and showed {10-}{10-} then spun the rest of his cards to the muck.

Yakovenko Peels the Last Card and Wins

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Five-Card Draw

There was about 10,000 in the pot and Nikolai Yakovenko was all in from under the gun. His opponent in the big blind threw away two and Yakovenko thought awhile and mucked four.

The big blind showed {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} but didn't improve with {3-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Yakovenko rolled over the {q-Hearts} and peeled one by one: {2-Hearts}, {3-Diamonds}, {2-Diamonds}. That left him needing another pair or a deuce on the river. He squeezed out something he said was paint.

"Hiya!" he shouted, slapping down the {q-Diamonds}.

After the hand, he admitted he drew it out for drama.

"Because I'm an honest guy, I'll admit I knew I had a queen," he said. "I'm really bad at sweating those out. I knew what card I had."

Uccio Busted in Badacey

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Badacey

Steven Uccio put in a bet for the last of his chips after the second draw, with Ben Yu and Steven Friedlander both calling.

Uccio drew two, with both Yu and Friedlander drawing one. Yu put in a bet for a side pot with Friedlander and got the call.

Steven Uccio: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Ben Yu: {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Steven Friedlander: {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Uccio was out of luck on this hand, as Yu's seven-badugi chopped with Friedlander's six-high , which was the winning A-5 low hand.

Martin Hits the Flush

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

A big pot had accumulated by the time Jesse Martin and Jim Collopy got to the river. With the board reading {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Martin put in a bet for 17,000 and Collopy went into the tank for several minutes.

Collopy eventually made the call, looking agonized when Martin turned over {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the rivered flush.
