Klodnicki Rivers the Winner

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Razz

Jameson Painter completed with an eight and his neighbor Chris Klodnicki raised. Only Painter called and he called another bet on fourth with Klodnicki's board showing two wheel cards. Klodnicki, however, paired an ace on fifth and then received a king on sixth. He called bets on both of those streets and Painter checked the river. Klodnicki bet one more time and Painter looked him up.

"Eight-six-five-perfect," Klodnicki declared.

"That's good," Painter replied.

Klodnicki: {8-}{6-}{2-} / {a-}{5-}{a-}{k-}
Painter: {x-}{x-}{x-} / {8-}{5-}{a-}{6-}

Gallo checked to Hui, he pushed in 4,500 and after a moment of thought, Gallo mucked his hand. Hui took down another pot, continuing his Day 2 success.

Kessler Bricks Flush Draw

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Stud

Allen Kessler bet on fourth street and Timothy Wong raised to force folds from two other players. Kessler called and then called two more bets on fifth and sixth.

Kessler: {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} / {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Wong: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Spades} / {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}

2-7 Triple Draw

There was over 40,000 in the main pot after the second draw as three players continued to the final draw. Eric Rodawig was all in before the final draw while Michael Mizrachi and Chris Vitch continued fighting for a side pot.

Rodawig took one in the small blind, Mizrachi patted and Vitch needed one on the button. Mizrachi bet, Vitch raised, and Mizrachi called for his remaining chips.

Vitch turned up Number Four as he hit {7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} while Rodawig bricked his wheel draw, finishing ith {7-}{4-}{3-}{3-}{2-}. Mizrachi stared at his hand for a while but his patted hand wasn't a seven.

Vitch scored a double knockout and boosted his stack to 130,000 or so.

Back Claims to Have Won His First Hand

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

With a sizeable amount of the chips in the pot before the first draw, small blind Chris Klodnicki took two, Chris Back on his left peeled one, and Wei Jie Weng changed two on the button. Back fired and both of his opponents called before repeating their respective draws.

The next round was checked and each player needed one on the final draw. Back fired one more bet and only Weng made it to the showdown. Back tabled {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and raked in the pot.

"First win of the day," he said while stacking his newly earned chips.
