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

Pot-Limit Omaha

Majid Yahyaei opened to 15,000 from the hijack and Adam Owen called in the big blind. The {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop was checked and Owen led out 24,000 on the {k-Diamonds} turn. Yahyaei called.

The {2-Clubs} on the river was a brick and Owen checked to Yahyaei who fired 60,000. Owen took just under a minute before declaring a call, but he saw Yahyaei show the nut straight with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Deeb called and Sternheimer announced an eight-low and a three-card three with {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Deeb had {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} for a seven-low and the same badugi hand as Sternheimer, and he took three-quarters of the pot.

Good Turn, Bad River for Klodnicki

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

No-Limit Hold'em

In a single-raised pot, Chris Klodnicki, Adam Friedman, and Matthew Schreiber made it to the {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop. Klodnicki continued for 16,000 and Friedman raised to 43,000 on his left. Schreiber folded on the button and Klodnicki matched the price.

The {9-Clubs} fell on the turn and Klodnicki checked. Friedman asked his opponent how much did he play and the answer was just under 200,000. Friedman checked back.

The river card was the {a-Spades} and Klodnicki bet 40,000. Friedman called and Klodnicki showed {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for air on the flop but a turned second pair. Friedman, however, hit the ace on the river and took it down with {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Razz

Michael McKenna completed with an ace and Max Pescatori raised. McKenna looked at Pescatori's stack and said, "Let's put it in." Pescatori agreed. While Pescatori started with {7-}{4-}{3-}, his board ran out horribly and he mucked the rest of his hand in disgust as he busted in 13th place.

McKenna: {9-}{4-} / {a-}{2-}{9-}{5-} / {x-}
Pescatori: {4-}{3-} / {7-}{3-}{k-}{3-} / {x-}
