Fuchs Pulls Ahead of Hellmuth

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

Badeucey

Phil Hellmuth raised and was called by Carol Fuchs. On the first draw, Hellmuth took two while Fuchs took one. Both checked and did so again when the same drawing action repeated. It checked to the final draw on which Fuchs patted and Hellmuth took one.

Hellmuth checked and Fuchs bet for Hellmuth to tank-fold. He was suspecting to get half while Mike Matusow was certain that Fuchs would have scooped. "I had a Badugi and a low," Fuchs said in table chat as she pulled ahead of Hellmuth in the counts.

Schwartz Scoops Henson

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

Big O Hi-Lo

On a completed board of {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, Ray Henson bet 85,000 in the small blind and Jake Schwartz eventually called in the cutoff with the words "maybe I am letting you off."

Henson shrugged and said "I missed everything" while Schwartz rolled over his {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} to earn the pot.

Scott Seiver Eliminated in 12th Place ($20,726)

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

Scott Seiver

Big O Hi-Lo

Scott Seiver raised the button and Adam Friedman three-bet the pot to 39,000, which Seiver called. On a flop of {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, Friedman announced "okay the rest of it" and bet the pot, Seiver called all-in for fewer than that.

Scott Seiver: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Adam Friedman: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

The heart draw of Seiver was dominated but he still had the open-ended straight draw. Nothing changed on the {8-Spades} turn and the {6-Clubs} river sent Seiver to the rail in 12th place for a payday of $20,726.

No Limit Hold'em

On a completed board of {k-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Adam Friedman tossed out a bet of 138,000 chips against Jake Schwartz. That sent Schwartz deep into the tank. He eventually mucked and Friedman was pushed the pot.

With that hand, Friedman has eclipsed the million chip mark.

Triple Up for Henson

No-Limit Hold'em

Adam Friedman bet the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} turn for 32,000 from under the gun and Mike Gorodinsky called on the button. The {2-Clubs} river was checked by Friedman and Gorodinsky bet 66,000. After spending some time in the tank, Friedman folded with the words "okay Mister PIO" before adding "no smile please".

Badacey

The game type changed and Ray Henson was at risk for 22,000, which Friedman and Jake Schwartz in the blinds called. Schwartz took three while Friedman and Henson took two. The active players checked and they all took two each, then checked again. Henson then patted and his opponents took one each.

An eight was announced but Henson just shrugged at them and tabled his {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{a-Spades} / {7-Hearts} for a Five-Dugi and a number two to triple up.

Courtesy Arrival for Fuchs Ends with a Chop

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

Badeucey

On the first draw, Jake Schwartz took two while Carol Fuchs took one card. Fuchs bet and Schwartz called. Fuchs then patted the final two draws while Schwartz took one each. Both times, Fuchs bet and Schwartz called.

"That's a scooper," Mike Gorodinsky said as Fuchs tabled the {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / {8-Diamonds} for a Seven-Dugi and an eight-seven-six low. Schwartz chopped, however, as his {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} / {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a three card seven made an eight-seven-five low.

Throughout the hand, the table chat suggested that Fuchs would earn a pot courtesy of Schwartz right after arriving on the new seat but it all ended in a split pot.
