Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

With around 100,000 in the middle and two big bets in front of Roy Thung and Jared Bleznick, the two players made it to the final street. Bleznick's board was six-low and he bet, earning a call from Thung. Bleznick had aces-up and an eight-low and Thung couldn't beat either.

Bleznick: {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} / {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Thung: {x-}{x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}

Yockey Backs Into Flush

Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Action folded to Robert Mizrachi on the button who opened to 8,500. Bryce Yockey defended his big blind and the flop came {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}. Yockey checked and Mizrachi fired a continuation-bet of 6,000. Yockey called. The turn came {a-Clubs} and Yockey check-called Mizrachi's second barrel of 12,500. The river was {9-Clubs} and Yockey led for 45,000. Mizrachi thought before dropping chips forward to call.

Yockey tabled {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, having hit a backdoor flush that was good for the pot as Mizrachi mucked his hand.

Berman Wins Three-Way Pot

Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Stud

John Monnette: {x-}{x-} / {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs} / {x-}
Dario Sammartino: {x-}{x-} / {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} / {x-}
Lyle Berman: {x-}{x-} / {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} / {x-}

The {5-Spades} was the bring in and John Monnette completed his eight. Dario Sammartino made it two bets with a queen and Lyle Berman called. Monnette called and action continued three ways.

Sammartino bet on fourth and fifth street and both Berman and Monnette hung around. On sixth street, Berman was first to act with a pair of sevens showing and bet. Monnette and Sammartino called and all three players checked the river.

Sammartino tabled {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{x-} and then turned his hand over as Berman showed {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for tens up, which was good to take the pot as Monnette also had long-mucked by the time the dealer had announced the winning hand.

Glaser Can't Fade Massive Wrap

Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Benny Glaser
Benny Glaser

Pot-Limit Omaha

Timofey Kuznetsov opened his button to 14,000 and Matthew Wood flatted in the small blind. Benny Glaser shoved his last 46,000 from the big blind, forcing a fold from Kuznetsov. Wood called off.

Glaser: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Wood: {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The flop came down {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Glaser smiled, seeing that Wood had a ton of outs with his giant wrap.

The {2-Diamonds} turn was a brick but Glaser's hand couldn't hold as the {5-Hearts} connected with Wood's straight draw.

In the meantime, the PPC lost yet another British player in the $25k PLO champ Stephen Chidwick.
