Glaser and Glantz Take From Kurtzman

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Badeucey

On the second draw, Benny Glaser and Eric Kurtzman took two cards while Matt Glantz took one. Glantz bet out of the small blind and was called by Kurtzman and Glaser. The final draw saw each of them take one card each and Glantz bet, Kurtzman called and both then called Glaser's raise.

Glaser tabled the {q-Diamonds}/{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades} for a Six-Dugi and a queen-low, which won half the pot. Glantz had {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts} for a worse Dugi but seven-five low to earn the other half.

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Three ways to the {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} turn, Nick Schulman opted to check in the big blind and Scott Bohlman bet 10,000 into a pot of around 13,000 while in the hijack. David "ODB" Baker called on the button and Schulman then raised the pot for 52,800 total. Bohlman reluctantly folded and Baker also quickly got out of the way.

"Did you have two pair?" Bohlman inquired and Schulman nodded, then replied "I did have two pair."
