Betil Misclicks, Moreschi Doubles

Level 12

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Action was heads up after the second draw when Stephen Moreschi was in the tank against Bariscan Betil. Betil had slid a stack of T-5,000 chips into the middle and Moreschi was considering a call for his last 40,000.

After a few minutes, Moreschi called and both players drew one on the final draw.

Stephen Moreschi: {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-} / {x-}
Bariscan Betil: {8-}{5-}{4-}{2-} / {x-}

Both players peeled {a-} and Moreschi secured the double.

"That was a miracle," Moreschi said as he stacked up the pot.

After the hand, Betil came clean.

"I thought I had eight-perfect, but about two minutes into his tank I realized I had a pair of fours."

Bleznick Finds a Boost, Negreanu Busts

Level 11
Jared Bleznick
Jared Bleznick

Pot-Limit Omaha

After seeing the {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, Jared Bleznick committed his final 12,000 chips only to see Frank Kassela reraise for his stack of 90,000. Benny Glaser was last to act, and took some time before mucking his hand.

Jared Bleznick: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Frank Kassela: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Bleznick was ahead with a straight, and the runout of {5-Hearts}{a-Clubs} changed nothing. Bleznick chipped up early in the first level.

At a nearby table, Daniel Negreanu announced "aces up" with his chips in the middle in a No-Limit Five Card Draw High hand for a quick double up. But a short time later, Negreanu lost his stack and was eliminated.
