Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

With the board reading {7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs} and over 500,000 in the pot, Alex Livingston bet, Philip Long called, and Vladimir Shchemelev called for the rest of his chips. Livingston held {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and chopped the low half with Shchemelev who showed {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Long, however, was the only beneficiary as he claimed the high half with {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

NLH

Under the gun, John Trumbul moved all in for 113,000 and Chris Vitch looked him up from the big blind.

Vitch was slightly ahead with {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} against {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} and the {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop made him a huge favorite. Trumbul picked up four outs on the {9-Hearts} turn but the {7-Clubs} river wasn't one of them.

Shchemelev Finds a Dream Flop Versus Livingston

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Vladimir Shchemelev
Vladimir Shchemelev

Limit Hold'em

Alex Livingston called the all in of Vladimir Shchemelev after a couple of back and forth bets. The two turned over their hands and Shchemelev was at risk.

Vladimir Shchemelev: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Alex Livingston: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The flop came down {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and Shchemelev flopped quads. A {9-Hearts} on the turn ruled out any possibility of a royal for Livingston as he was now drawing dead to the {j-Hearts} river card.

Kessler Finds a Full to Avoid Severe Damage

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Stud

Allen Kessler bet on fourth and John Evans raised. Kessler called and then called another bet on fifth. He paired his ace on sixth and led out, earning a call.

Kessler bet in blind on seventh and Evans thought that Kessler was all in so he only called with kings full. Kessler grumbled that he started with three aces and how was that loss possible, but then he found out that he connected with his river card and scooped almost a full double with aces full.

Evans: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs} / {2-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Kessler: {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} / {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

"All that whining finally paid off," Chris Klodnicki commented.
