Mike Patrick

Level 8

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Phil Hellmuth raised to 1,600 from the small blind into Anthony Ribeiro, who called. After Hellmuth drew one card, Ribeiro patted his hand.

Hellmuth thought briefly then opted to check. Ribeiro checked back, and Hellmuth said "You win".

Ribeiro showed which indeed was the winner, leaving Hellmuth short, with just 20,000 chips.

After the hand, Hellmuth said to Ribeiro, "Kid, warn me when there's six minutes left (in the level)", suggesting that he may make an effort to get the last of his chips in before late registration closes.

Hellmuth then continued, "There's only one problem. I'm allergic to getting my money in bad."

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

With registration now closed, tournament lives are on the line potentially in any given hand.

Case in point as on a flop, Scott Bohlman bet 25,000 into Michael Dreese, who only had 29,000 in front of him. Dreese moved all-in and Bohlman called.

Bohlman's aces were ahead until the fell on the turn giving Dreese both the flush and the better low. The changed nothing on the river, giving Dreese a double-up.

Fuchs Victimized By Huge PLO Cooler

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Mike Patrick

Level 10

Pot-Limit Omaha

A massive pile of chips was just pushed to Asher Lower at the expense of Carol Fuchs who lost half her stack, and another player who busted.

The players at the table reconstructed the hand, saying that on a turn board reading , the player in early position bet the size of the pot, Lower then moved all-in, and Fuchs called behind, covering both players. The original bettor called.

The hands were turned up, showing a huge cooler.

Early Position Player:
Asher Lower:
Carol Fuchs:

The original bettor had an inferior straight to Fuchs, who also had a set of eights, but Lower had top set of aces. That set would fill up and win him the huge pot as the fell on the river, pairing the board, and shipping the massive pot to Lower.

Player	Chips	Progress
Asher Lower	168,000 168,000	168,000
Carol Fuchs	54,000 51,000	51,000
