Leonard Eliminates Ramos

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

PLO

Gabe Ramos raised to 800 under the gun and he found three customers in Patrick Leonard in the cutoff and the players on the button and in the big blind.

Ramos moved all in for last 2,000 after seeing {7-Spades}{k-Spades}{9-Spades} and only Patrick Leonard called.

Ramos: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Leonard: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Leonard's hand stayed ahead after the {7-Clubs} turn and {5-Diamonds} river and Ramos was knocked out early into the ninth level.

"Spooky F***ing Hand"

2-7 Triple Draw

With action caught on the second draw, Phil Hellmuth took one, his left-hand neighbor patted and Brian Yoon changed two. Yoon and Hellmuth both called a bet and they changed one apiece on the final draw.

Hellmuth checked, and Yoon raised a bet from his opponent.

"What a spooky f***ing hand," Hellmuth grumbled and then he threw his cards away, accidentally exposing {7-}{4-}{2-}. The third player three-bet and Yoon quickly called only to see his opponent show {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for the nuts.

Hellmuth stormed from his chair to release some accumulated energy and then he returned back to his 12,500.

Klodnicki Applies Pressure

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

PLO

In a battle of blinds, Chris Klodnicki fired what looked like a pot-sized bet of 3,100 on the turn reading {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. His opponent called and the {10-Hearts} completed the board. The action was checked to Klodnicki who potted. The other player would have to commit nearly all of his chips to call, and he quickly decided that it wasn't worth it.

Long Fires on River

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

NLH

Maria Ho opened the button to 800 and Philip Long defended his big blind with a call. Long check-called another 700 on {k-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and they both checked the {6-Clubs} turn.

The river came {9-Spades} and Long bet out 2,600. Ho double checked her hand, gave it a brief thought and then folded.

"Oooh, you should have gone all in," said Eric Wasserson, sitting across the table.

"Probably," Ho replied.

Glaser Ousted

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Benny Glaser raised in the cutoff and he got a call from the big blind who peeled two while Glaser needed one. Glaser bet in position and his opponent called again. They drew one each and Glaser put his last 900 forward, receiving a call. He patted against a one-card draw but he failed to dodge the lethal bullet as his opponent finished with a rough eight.

Glaser: {10-}{9-}{8-}{6-}{2-}
Opponent: {8-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}

2-7 Triple Draw

Jameson Painter raised from the button and called when small blind David Bach raised. Bach took one and Painter took two. Painter called another bet and they repeated their previous draw. Bach fired again and Painter called to continue to the final draw where they discarded one apiece. Bach check-called Painter's bet but mucked his hand as Painter showed {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.
