Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Down to the last 33,000, Roland Israelashvili got it in before the first draw as Mike Matusow had him at risk. Matusow discarded two while Israelashvili took one. Both then took one each on the remaining two draws.

Matusow exposed the {5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and made a number one with the peeled {7-}. Israelashvili was drawing dead with the {8-}{7-}{6-}{3-} draw and paired the {3-} on top of it.

One hand later, David Benyamine was all-in for just 17,000 and earned calls from Ray Henson and Matusow. Benyamine took four while Henson and Matusow took two each. They checked to the second draw on which all of them took two. Matusow bet and Henson folded to get the action heads-up.

Matusow then patted and Benyamine took one. The former rolled over the {10-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{5-} and Benyamine missed the {8-}{4-}{3-}{2-} draw as he paired the {3-} as well.

Barbero Scoops a Pot Against Schwartz

Level 14 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Badeucey

In the previous hand, Nacho Barbero was denied a scoop when his Badugi was not good enough to beat the eight-eight and earned half the pot.

One hand later, however, Barbero and Jake Schwartz patted and invested one bet and a call each prior and after the final draw. Barbero rolled over the {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / {8-Clubs} for a Six-Digu and an eight-six low to earn it all.

More for Vieira and Jett

Level 14 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Mike Gorodinsky raised to 10,000 and Nacho Barbero three-bet to 34,000 on the button. Joao Vieira then gave it plenty of consideration and four-bet to 78,000 in the small blind. Gorodinsky folded and so did Barbero with the former mentioning in table chat he had ace-jack.

Over on table 414, Benny Glaser was quartered in an Omaha Hi-Lo hand in which Chip Jett had the high and the same low on a board of {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Jett tabled {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Glaser revealed the {a-Diamonds}{x-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

Seven Card Stud

Carol Fuchs: {x-}{x-} / {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Daniel Negreanu: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} fold on fourth

Adam Friedman picked Seven Card Stud for the first time in the tournament according to him. Daniel Negreanu then completed with a nine showing and Carol Fuchs called. Fuchs paired the trey on fourth and bet, prompting an instant fold of Negreanu who exposed deuces in the hole with the words "threes beat deuces."
