Alaei Left Short

Level 16 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Daniel Alaei defended his big blind against a button raise by Tim Marsters and check-called two streets on the {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board. On the river, Alaei check-folded to a third barrel.

Razz

Tim Marsters: {x-}{x-} / {2-}{6-}{3-}{10-} / {x-}
Nick Guagenti: {x-}{x-} / {4-}{2-}{8-}{3-} / {x-}
Daniel Alaei: {x-}{x-} / {k-}{2-}{6-}{8-} / {x-}

The game type switched and Marsters bet sixth, Nick Guagenti called and Alaei also called. Guagenti then took the lead on sixth and bet, both his opponents called. Guagenti also bet seventh and Alaei reluctantly folded with just over one big bet behind. Marsters reluctantly called and Guagenti rolled over {7-}{6-}{5-} for a six-five.

"You have a seven-card straight? That's impressive," Craig Chait chimed in.

Ohel Falls, ODB Bubbles H.O.R.S.E. Championship

Level 16 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
David "ODB" Baker
David "ODB" Baker

Stud

Justin Bonomo completed and Yueqi Zhu raised. David "ODB" Baker called all in for 20,000, and Bonomo called too.

Zhu bet fourth and Bonomo called as both players checked fifth. On sixth, Zhu made open kings and bet, and Bonomo folded.

Bonomo: {x-}{x-} / {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades} (folded on sixth)
Zhu: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} / {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Baker: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} / {10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

Baker had started rolled up, but Zhu found the case king on sixth.

Zhu squeezed the {7-Clubs} on the end and Baker jokingly asked if he could have it.

Baker squeezed announced he had a three-side meaning a six, seven, or eight.

Baker exposed his final card to the table so that they could sweat it for him, and as one player nodded left to right, Baker looked at his {8-Clubs} and was eliminated.

On a hand that completed just a few moments earlier, Randy Ohel was eliminated in 28th place, and with Baker eliminated in 27th place, he would finish on the money bubble of the H.O.R.S.E. Championship.

The final 26 players are all guaranteed $15,176.

On seventh, Mueller bet and Baker went into the tank for several minutes before folding.
