Monnette Doubles, Katz Busts

Level 11 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Razz

John Monnette called a bet from Josh Arieh on fourth and fifth streets before leading out on sixth. Arieh raised enough to put Monnette all-in and was called.

John Monnette: {a-}{3-} / {5-}{8-}{4-}{6-} / {q-}
Josh Arieh: {x-}{x-} / {a-}{5-}{k-}{8-} / {x-}

Arieh was drawing dead once Monnette's hole cards were revealed, and he mucked as Monnette doubled up.

At a nearby table, Adam Friedman was stacking the last of Aaron Katz's chips as Katz was eliminated.

No-Limit Hold'em

Ben Lamb raised to 12,000 on the button and Chris Brewer three-bet to 44,000 in the small blind. Randy Ohel four-bet jammed for 166,000 and Lamb folded. Brewer immediately asked for a count and Ohel did the favour himself. What followed was a tank for 90 seconds in which Brewer talked through all possible combinations before he then called.

Randy Ohel: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Chris Brewer: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

There was no sweat on the {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} board as Ohel doubled. "Ben's raising size really fucked me up," Brewer joked.

No-Limit Hold'em

There were four players involved to the {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop and Phil Hellmuth bet 26,000 in the cutoff. Ryan Leng folded on the button and Adam Friedman did so in the small blind. George Alexander check-called out of the big blind and then checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn.

Hellmuth bet 41,000 out of a total stack of around 175,000 and Alexander then check-raised to give Hellmuth the option to fold or call all-in. Once Hellmuth called, Alexander said "you are not going to like this one" as he flipped over the {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a gutshot that had filled up.

Hellmuth still had outs with the {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} but missed on a blank {k-Spades} river. He vaulted out of his seat, gave a short speech and then stormed out of the tournament area.

Hartmann Jams The River

Level 11 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Three ways to the {q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, the action checked around and Tony Hartmann in the big blind then bet 27,000 on the {6-Diamonds} turn. Chad Eveslage in the hijack and Jesse Klein on the button both called. The {j-Spades} fell on the river and Hartmann jammed for 39,000. Eveslage reluctantly folded and Klein came to the same conclusion as Hartmann essentially doubled thanks to the multi-way action.

Paul Volpe and Anthony Zinno are the far biggest stacks on the table.
