Quinghai Pan
Quinghai Pan

Limit Hold'em

The action was picked up on a board of {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Qinghai Pan had check-raised Todd Ivens who called.

The river was the {8-Spades} and this time Pan led out. Ivens called and was shown the bad news when Pan tabled {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for top set of jacks and was awarded the pot.

Blumenthal Joins New Table, May Not Be There Long

Level 12 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Eddie Blumenthal was just moved to a table with Christopher Vitch and immediately got involved in a significant pot with him.

Vitch raised in early position and was three-bet in middle position by Blumenthal. Vitch called, then checked the {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop to Blumenthal, who bet. Again, Vitch called.

The players checked the {j-Diamonds} turn, and after the {q-Clubs} river card was placed on the board, Vitch checked once more and saw Blumenthal put out a final 10,000 chip bet from his shrinking 45,000 chip stack. Vitch gave it some thought, then called.

Blumenthal showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, and Vitch turned over {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a winning flopped top pair.

Pan and Henson Chop Up Woods

Level 12 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action picked up on a turn board that read {7-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Clubs} {2-Clubs}, with Ray Henson and James Woods already with two bets in the pot and Qinghai Pan putting in a third. His opponents called.

The board paired on the river with the {3-Hearts}, and Woods led out.

Pan again raised, and Henson called behind. Woods called as well, and found out he had the worst hand as Pan showed {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a seven-low to claim half the pot, while Henson showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Spades} for kings full of threes to take the high half of the pot.

Katz Scoops; Song Mistakenly Mucks

Level 12 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

On seventh street in a three-way pot between Kevin Song, Cary Katz, and Calvin Anderson, Katz was first to act and checked to Anderson, who bet. Song and Katz both called and the trio went to showdown.

Katz showed {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}/{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades}/{j-Spades} for two pairs, jacks and sevens, which was good for the high half of the pot.

Anderson mucked, and Song held his three hole cards in his hand along with {2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} on the table. Song then turned his hole cards over and the dealer pulled his hand into the muck and awarded the full pot to Katz.

Song didn't realize until after his hand had been killed and the pot pushed to Katz, that he had a low hand that would have claimed half the pot.

A floorperson was called to the table, and Song asked to use the security cameras to verify his claim. The floorperson explained to Song that since his hole cards were never actually tabled, and he turned them over himself, that a review would not be possible.

Katz benefitted hugely from Song's mistake and is now over 200,000 in chips.

Yockey Scores a Double Knockout; Montgomery and O'Dell Eliminated

Level 12 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Bryce Yockey
Bryce Yockey

Stud

Kyle Montgomery: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}/{k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}/{7-Diamonds}
Frankie O'Dell: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}/{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}/{6-Clubs}
Bryce Yockey: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}/{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}/{9-Diamonds}

With Montgomery already all-in, O'Dell pushed the last of the rest of his chips into the middle and Yockey made the call. Next, the cards were all turned face-up and it was O'Dell that was in the lead with two pairs, jacks and treys, Mongomery second with a pair of kings, and the pair of nines of Yockey's were in last place.

Seventh street was dealt face down to each player and changed nothing for Mongomery and O'Dell, respectively. For Yockey, however, the {9-Diamonds} gave him trips which catapulted him into the lead and eliminated both Mongomery and O'Dell.
