Schertzer and Strebkov Chop Up Hachem

Level 4

Joe Hachem: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}/{a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}/{6-Clubs}
Ivan Schertzer: {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}/{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}/{6-Diamonds}
Denis Strebkov: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}/{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}/{2-Clubs}

On sixth street, Hachem check-raised and was called by Schertzer and Strebkov.

Seventh street the action checked around to Strebkov, who fired out one big bet, which was called by both his opponents.

After all the dust had settled it was the ace-ten high flush held by Strebkov that took down the high and the seven-six low held by Schertzer that earned him the low half of the pot.

Level 3

Perry Friedman: {x-}{x-}/{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades}/{x-}

The action was heavy up until seventh street as shown by the pot size when Rutter fired out a big bet into his three opponents. John Cernuto ducked out of the way with trip deuces showing, but Rutter was called by O'Hara and Friedman.

The two callers both mucked when shown the eights full of sixes held by Rutter, and he was awarded the massive pot.
