Campbell Leaves Barbero Short

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nacho Barbero
Nacho Barbero

Seven Card Stud

Nacho Barbero: {x-}{x-} / {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} / {x-}
Ben Yu: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts} fold on fourth
Brian Rast: {x-}{x-} / {3-Clubs}{5-Spades} fold on fourth
Chad Campbell: {x-}{x-} / {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} / {x-}

Nacho Barbero bet fourth street with a pair of nines showing and Ben Yu folded, as did Brian Rast. Chad Campbell called and did so again on fifth. Sixth street then gave Campbell the lead and he bet, Barbero called. Another bet and call followed on seventh and Campbell tabled the {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for jacks full of fours. A frustrated Barbero showed {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Spades} for tens and nines.

"How do you catch the last jack there?" Barbero asked more to himself than his opponent.

Cates Arrives; Ready to Rumble in Razz

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Razz

Dan Cates: {x-}{x-} / {7-}{10-}{2-}{6-} / {x-}
Ben Yu: {x-}{x-} / {4-}{j-}{9-}{8-} / {x-}

Dan Cates arrived with a massage girl ready to work and was immediately involved in an animated Razz hand. He bet all streets and was called down by Ben Yu. After his final bet on seventh was also called, he immediately joked "fuck, that's not good ... I have a ten."

Yu rolled over the {7-}{6-}{5-} for an eight-seven and that won the pot.

Friedman Scoops Big Razz Pot

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Razz

Adam Friedman's raise was called by Aaron Katz and Phil Hellmuth, who then called Friedman all the way to showdown.

Aaron Katz: {x-}{x-} / {4-}{k-}{7-}{9-}
Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {5-}{10-}{7-}{8-}
Adam Friedman: {x-}{x-} / {3-}{k-}{a-}{2-}

Friedman turned over {9-}{5-}{2-} for a 9-5-3-2-A, and Hellmuth noted "you didn't miss a bet" as he and Katz mucked.

Rast Picks Off Cates

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Brian Rast
Brian Rast

Pot-Limit Omaha

Brian Rast opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and was called by Dan Cates on the button.

Rast bet 8,000 on the {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop and Cates called.

The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and Rast check-called a 30,000 bet from Cates.

Rast checked again on the {6-Hearts} river and Cates bet 80,000 — sending Rast deep into the tank.

Rast counted out calling chips thought it over for a couple minutes before eventually committing them into the middle.

Cates motioned as if Rast's hand was good and Rast tabled {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for two pair. Cates mucked and Rast scooped the pot.

Vitch and Alexander on a Million

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mike Wattel walked over to the table of Chris Vitch and the latter mentioned that he had "cold-decked" John Racener. According to Vitch, he bet small on a {7-}{7-}{2-} flop in Pot-Limit Omaha and they got it in after an {8-} turn. Vitch had sevens full of eights while Racener held an ace-seven combo that didn't get there anymore.

At nearly the same time, the stack of Shaun Deeb was pushed over to George Alexander as the next high-profile casualty prior to the dinner break has reduced the field further. Vitch and Alexander have joined the biggest stacks with seven figures in chips to their name.
