Semin and Ross Scoop Hold'em Hands

Hold'em

Mikhail Semin had raised first to act and Greg Mueller called on the button. They checked the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop and Semin check-raised the {9-Spades} turn to force a fold from Mueller.

Soon after, Mike Ross raised the button and Marco Johnson called out of the big blind. Johnson check-called a bet on the {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop and the {q-Clubs} turn. On the {a-Spades} river, Johnson checked and faced a third barrel by Ross. That sent him into the think tank and he eventually folded.

"I flopped it," Ross said as he stacked the chips.

Stud Hi-Lo

Mike Ross: {x-}{x-} / {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} fold
Scott Clements: {x-}{x-} / {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {x-}
Marco Johnson: {x-}{x-} / {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} / {x-}

Picking up the action on fourth street, Marco Johnson paired his six and bet, which was called by Scott Clements and Mike Ross who had an ace-queen and an ace-jack showing. Johnson bet again on fifth and Clements raised, Ross folded and Johnson called.

Johnson then check-called a bet on sixth and asked to see the remaining stack of Clements, who had 87,000 behind. Seventh went check, check, and Clements showed {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of queens and busted low draw.

Johnson vaulted out of his chair to study the cards of Clements and even picked them up to sort them. He ended up exposing his {10-Hearts} and mucked to forfeit the pot to Clements.
