Mahmood Can't Catch Eyster

Level 5 : 300/500, 0 ante

Ayaz Mahmood got his last 16,500 in on a {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{a-Clubs} board from the big blind, and Kevin Eyster quickly called to put him at risk from the hijack.

"Aces?" Mahmood asked Eyster.

Ayaz Mahmood: {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Kevin Eyster: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Eyster did indeed turn a bigger set, but Mahmood still had outs to win or chop with going to the river with a gutshot to chop and a flush draw and quads draw to come from behind and win with. Unfortunately for Mahmood, the {10-Clubs} river made both players a full house, and Eyster's aces-full sent Mahmood's deuces-full packing.

Another Chance for Gold for Benjamin Zamani

Level 5 : 300/500, 0 ante
Benjamin Zamani
Benjamin Zamani

Benjamin Zamani had a great shot to win a bracelet when he sat at the final table of the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event earlier this week. He even held the chip lead for a while at the final table but he ended up without a bracelet.

Zamani is now back in another four-card tournament and he won some chips already. He sat in the cutoff and raised to 1,000 when he saw another player raise to 3,600 from the small blind. Zamani called.

The flop was {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} and the player in the small blind check-called a bet of 3,000 from Zamani. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Zamani bet another time. He put 8,200 in the middle and that was too much for his opponent.

Fighters Fight, Negreanu Bets

Level 5 : 300/500, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu in a previous event
Daniel Negreanu in a previous event

Four players limped in to see a {9-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop together. The small blind bet 2,000, and after the big blind folded, Daniel Negreanu called from under the gun, as did a player in middle position.

The small blind bet 8,000 after the {6-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and both Negreanu and the middle position player called again.

The {9-Spades} completed the board on the river, and the small blind checked. Negreanu bet 25,000, and the middle position player quickly folded. The small blind looked at the board, then said, "I improved on the river..." before folding.

"Phew!" Negreanu said before shipping his cards to the dealer.

Valerstein Can't Hit

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

A player raised to 1,500 from the cutoff, and was called by the button and small blind. Roman Valerstein three-bet to 7,500 from the big blind, and the cutoff called. The button folded, and the small blind four-bet to 31,500. Valerstein called and the cutoff folded.

The small blind jammed for 44,200 on the {8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop, and Valerstein called.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Roman Valerstein: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Valerstein flopped a straight draw and a straight-flush draw, but his opponent held a higher flush draw and a straight-flush blocker to go with his aces. The {j-Clubs} turn was a brick for Valerstein, and the {3-Diamonds} river gave both players a flush, but Valerstein's smaller flush cost him the majority of his stack.

Abdellatif Wins a Small One

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

Jonathan Abdellatif raised from middle position and he was called by the player in the small blind. The flop was dealt {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and the player in the small blind check-called a bet of 1,600 from Abdellatif.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and Abdellatif took the pot down after his opponent check-folded to a bet of 5,000.

Abdellatif came close to winning a bracelet last year in Event #54: Big Blind Antes $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em but he eventually fell short and finished in fourth place. Abdellatif is now playing with double the number of cards so he now maybe can double his luck as well.
