Level 18 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Phil Ivey raised from the cutoff, then called when Shaun Deeb made it three bets on the button.

Ivey check-raised a Deeb bet on the {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop, and Deeb called. Deeb called another bet on the {6-Clubs} turn, then Ivey checked the {2-Clubs} river. Deeb bet, and Ivey called, only to muck after Deeb showed {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for a rivered king-high flush.

Sammartino Chips Up

Level 18 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Razz

Bryce Yockey: {x-}{x-} / {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds} / {x-}
Dario Sammartino: {x-}{x-} / {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} / {x-}

The {q-Spades} was the bring in. Yockey completed a nine and Sammartino called with a jack. Yockey bet on fourth and Sammartino called.

Sammartino bet on fifth and sixth with Yockey calling both streets before both players checked on seventh street.

After Yockey checked back the river, he announced a nine-eight. Sammartino confirmed that's what he said and said that it was not good as he turned over {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, good for an eighty-seven and the pot.

A few hands later, Arieh raised to 50,000 from the cutoff, and Dan Cates called in the big blind.

Boat Over Boat for Yockey

Level 18 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

In a blind-versus-blind battle, Talal Shakerchi completed from the small blind and Bryce Yockey checked his option. The flop came {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Shakerchi bet. Yockey called.

The turn was {3-Hearts} and Shakerchi checked. Yockey bet and Shakerchi made the call. The river was {10-Diamonds} and Shakerchi checked. Yockey fired again and Shakerchi announced a raise. Yockey tossed in the chips to make the call.

Shakerchi tabled {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{x-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a full house, fives full of tens. Much to Shakerchi's surprise, Yockey showed {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for fives full of queens as he exclaimed that Yockey would be the recipient of the pot and not himself.

Josh Arieh bet sixth street and Chris Vitch called. Arieh bet again on seventh street, and Vitch raised. Arieh tanked for about a minute before making the call.

"Jack," Vitch declared, and Arieh quickly tabled {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a ninety-seven. Vitch mucked, and Arieh nodded towards Vitch and said, "Strong play."

Kings Good for Sammartino

Level 18 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

"Flush," Sammartino announced as he turned over {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Shakerchi mucked and Sammartino took down the pot.

Omaha Hi-Lo

"Yippie!" John Esposito said as he raised the button. Both Dan Cates in the small blind and Chris Klodnicki in the big blind called.

Action checked to Esposito on the {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, and he bet. Only Cates called. Cates check-called bets on the {q-Spades} turn and {5-Diamonds} river, and Esposito tabled {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a flush and a live-four for low. Cates mucked.

"Yippie!" Esposito repeated. "Go Johnny go!"

Esposito Gets his Jack

Level 18 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

John Esposito: {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Chris Vitch: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Chris Vitch's bet on the turn with the board reading {3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} put John Esposito at risk, and after making the call Esposito saw that he needed help on the river to stay in the game. He got what he needed when the {j-Hearts} hit, giving him a queen-high straight and eliminating the possibility of a qualifying low.

"There's my guy," Esposito said when the jack hit the board.
