Josephy On The Brink

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Cliff Josephy
Cliff Josephy

Cliff Josephy bet 6,000 from the cutoff and was called by Sean Legendre on the button and Roee Shalom in the big blind.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Josephy continued for 21,000 but was met with a pot-size bet from Legendre. Shalom got out the way and Josephy who was frustrated with the situation moved all of his chips into the middle. Legendre called and was covered by Josephy by 6,000 chips.

Sean Legendre: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{x-}
Cliff Josephy: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Legendre spiked a set on the flop to crack Josephy's aces. The runout of {2-Spades}{6-Clubs} did not help 'Johnny Bax' and improved Legendre to a full house.

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ari Oxman
Ari Oxman

Action was picked up on a board of {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} with 50,000 in the middle. Jordan Semel bet full pot for 50,000 from the hijack and Ari Oxman made the call in the cutoff.

The river came the {a-Diamonds} and Semel checked this time. Oxman cut out a bet of 55,000. Semel went well in the tank contemplating a call.

"How good do you run?", said Semel as he did not like the third diamond that hit the board. Semel eventually let his hand go and the pot was awarded to the chip leader Oxman.

Henson Bubbles Event #39 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ray Henson
Ray Henson

Benedikt Eberle bet 10,000 from under the gun and was called by Leonid Yanovski in the small blind. Ray Henson in the big blind was forced all-in as he only had 3,000 chips remaining. The main pot was 9,000 and the side pot was 14,000.

Eberle bet 10,000 after a flop of {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} which Yanovski called. Both players decided to check down the rest of the runout of {7-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Yanovski revealed {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a pair of nines, Eberle turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of kings.

Henson who was playing dark slowly revealed each card. The first card he turned over was the {a-Hearts} followed by the {3-Hearts}. He next turned over {10-Clubs} meaning only an ace could win the pot of 9,000 and survive the bubble.

Unfortunately, he turned over the {10-Spades} and the tournament director confirmed that Henson was the bubble and was leaving with no money. Henson retorted "You're an a**hole!" in a joking manner and headed to the exit.

Massive Cooler - Winter Is Coming

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sean Winter
Sean Winter

With 44,000 in the middle and a flop of {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Sean Winter bet 40,000 and was met with a raise to 200,000 from Ari Oxman. Winter fired back with an all-in shove for 675,000 which was called by Oxman.

Sean WInter: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Ari Oxman: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

A huge cooler as Winter's set of kings was ahead of Oxman's set of eights. The completed board of {7-Spades}{5-Clubs} provided no help for Oxman who takes a hefty hit and a massive double up for Winter.

Yanovski Approaches the Three-Million Chip Mark

Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Leonid Yanovski
Leonid Yanovski

David Litt raised on the button to 30,000, with a total stack slightly above 600,000. Leonid Yanovski called in the small blind.

Things heated on the flop {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Yanovski checked and Litt continued for 60,000. Yanovski raised it to 150,000 and Litt announced pot, immediately followed by an all-in from Litt. Yanovski called and they revealed their cards:

David Litt: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Leonid Yanovski: {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}

Yanovski had hit a set while Litt held two pair, and the rest of the board didn't change anything for Litt with the {10-Diamonds} turn and {10-Clubs} river to eliminate him from the event.

With the win, Yanovski is on the verge of being the first player to cross three millions in chips
