Diebold Scoops Madsen

Level 18

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo

Ben Diebold: {x-}{x-} / {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} / {x-}
Jeff Madsen: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} / {x-}

Ben Diebold checked fourth street and then called a bet by Jeff Madsen before he paired his ace on fifth and led out, earning a call from Madsen. Diebold also bet sixth street and was called before they checked it down on seventh. The {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts} of Diebold didn't improve his board but the pair of aces won the entire pot, as Madsen mucked his cards.

Mueller Draws a Winner

Level 18
Greg Mueller
Greg Mueller

Five Card Draw High

Greg "FBT" Mueller raised to 27,000 in the hijack and was called in the small blind by Brian Rast and the big blind by Naoya Kihara.

Rast drew one, Kihara drew two, and Mueller drew two.

After the draw, Rast led out for 57,000. Kihara folded, but Mueller quickly called.

"Two pair" declared Rast. But he was quickly shown {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} by Mueller for three-of-a-kind queens to drag the pot.

Gorodinsky Scoops Schulman in Big O

Level 18

Big O

With bets of 20,000 and 25,000 already set aside, the turn showed {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Nick Schulman bet 75,000 out of the big blind, which Mike Gorodinsky called. The {6-Hearts} fell on the river and Schulman now checked, which prompted a hefty pot-sized bet by Gorodinsky. Without asking for the amount, Schulman called by tossing in a single chip.

Gorodinsky rolled over the {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a full house and the low also beat Schulman, who studied the board carefully. "How much is the total?" he inquired and that happened to be 320,000, securing the near double-up for Gorodinsky as Schulman mucked his cards without showing them.

Level 18

Limit Omaha 8 or Better

The players both checked, then on the {6-Clubs} river, Kihara led out, which received a fold from Zyrin to boost the Japanese star's chip count toward the million mark.

Gorodinsky Jams Into Le

Level 18

Big O

Mike Gorodinsky in the small blind and Ben Diebold in the big blind had 30,000 invested before the flop and then checked it through when it came {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. No betting action followed on the {a-Hearts} turn and Gorodinsky checked the {8-Spades} river. Diebold bet 70,000 and Gorodinsky folded.

Tuan Le then opened to 25,000 in the cutoff and Gorodinsky potted to 90,000 on the button, which Le reluctantly called after checking the stack of his opponent. "Ten, eight, seven," Gorodinsky predicted and was pretty close when the flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Le checked and Gorodinsky jammed for the 131,000 he had behind.

"We are on a pay jump," Diebold mentioned to Gorodinsky, who was somewhat perplexed and Diebold repeated what he had said after chewing on his lunch. That's when Gorodinsky replied "I don't give a shit," referring to the minor difference in payouts when surviving another spot.

Le folded and Gorodinsky raked in the pot.

Ramos Doubles Through Rast

Level 18
Felipe Ramos
Felipe Ramos

Big O

Brian Rast raised in the cutoff and Felipe Ramos bet the size of the pot, essentially committing himself to the hand. Rast put the rest of Ramos' 119,000 chip stack in and the duo was off to see five cards for Ramos' tournament life.

Felipe Ramos: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Brian Rast: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The board came {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, bringing Ramos the nut flush and the nut low to scoop the pot and double up.
