2-7 Triple Draw

Michael Mizrachi, Ivo Donev, and Adam Friedman all drew two cards on the first draw. Mizrachi checked, Donev bet, and Friedman raised. Mizrachi folded his hand and Donev called to draw one. So did Friedman and they repeated the same on the final draw. No further bets were made and Donev announced a jack, showing {j-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{2-}. Friedman mucked.

Bad Runout for Ferguson

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Razz

Three players went to fourth street but only two remained after Chris Ferguson bet with a three and a six out. His right-hand neighbor called and then he led out on fifth as he received a ten while a queen landed on Ferguson's board. Ferguson called the bet and then called on sixth again despite getting a jack. He peeled another paint card on seventh street, flashing a king before folding his hand to a final bet.

Chris Ferguson: {k-}{x-}{x-} / {3-}{6-}{q-}{j-} - fold on seventh
Opponent: {x-}{x-}{x-} / {a-}{6-}{10-}{5-}

They checked the river and Flack opened the winning hand.

Hellmuth's Bustout Followed by Classic Rant

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

PLO

With the board reading {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Phil Hellmuth already all in on a previous street, two other players continued battling for a side pot which resulted in a three-way showdown.

The first player, who had bet 4,000 on the river, rolled over {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and the second player mucked. Hellmuth, sitting across the table, stood up, holding his hole cards. He pointed at the board and said, "What the f*** is this?" hardly meant as a question.

He threw the {3-Diamonds} on the table while keeping the rest of his cards in his hand, and continued.

"How is this possible." Then he mumbled something about the worst players ever, followed by, "but they keep winning."

Hellmuth's opponent remained quiet.

"What were you drawing to? What did you think I had?" Hellmuth added.

Jen Harman pointed that her neighbor had a flush draw, and Hellmuth soon walked away from the table, ending his trademark rant.
