Katz Among the Latest Casualties

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Aaron Katz
Aaron Katz

Omaha Hi-Lo

With just over half an hour level to play on Day 2, the field is down to the last 45 players and Aaron Katz is no longer among them. According to Scott Bohlman, he "missed a high and low draw" to be eliminated by Bohlman who continues to be a big stack on the table.

While not necessarily stacking in multiples of ten, he currently glances over a tower that consists of stacks of 34. Michael Moncek is the only other big stack at the table.

Hastings Doubles Through Kenney

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Bryn Kenney made it 26,000 from under the gun and got calls from Jean-Robert Bellande and Ali Eslami. Brian Hastings than moved all in from the big blind for around 70,000.

Kenney raised and forced Bellande and Eslami out of the pot.

Brian Hastings: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Bryn Kenney: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Hearts} gave Kenney top pair. The turn {4-Spades} did give Hastings a flush draw, and he completed his flush on the {3-Spades} river.

Brian Hastings called down bets by Taylor Paur with a jack-ten high showing as of fifth street. The new arrival announced an eight and tabled the {8-}{6-}{2-} in the hole to win the pot as Hastings mucked his cards in disgust.

In the meanwhile, Bradley Berman and David Benyamine were eliminated with the latter falling to the {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-} of Erik Seidel in a Limit 2-7 Triple Draw hand.

Seiver Chops With Julia

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Anthony Gregg had lost a big portion of his stack at the end of the previous level against Scott Seiver and then faced off with Seiver once more to remain in contention.

At the same table, Seiver raised in the cutoff and was called by Nicholas Julia, who bet the {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} flop and the {j-Clubs} turn. Seiver check-called and led the {5-Hearts} river for Julia to call. The {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} of Seiver won the low while Julia's {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the wheel won the low.

"Fuck it we are still in it," Seiver said with a big smile and high-fived his table neighbour.

Negreanu Eventually Forces Out Garza

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ap Garza
Ap Garza

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo

Ap Garza: {x-}{x-} / {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} / {x-}
Daniel Negreanu: {x-}{x-} / {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / {x-}

Ap Garza was facing bets of Daniel Negreanu, who fired all the way on every single street. During the action, friendly table chat broke out during which Negreanu was trying to figure out what exactly his opponent had and Garza, likewise, double-checking what he had.

"Just tell him what you have and he will tell you what to do," one player at the table chimed in while Garza called on fifth with the words "there's two more cards to come."

After sixth, he slammed the chips in for the call and joked "HIT ME" to the dealer.

"Hit you with what?" a surprised Negreanu joked and then quickly bet again.

Garza checked his cards once more and replied "I had a flush draw, a gutshot, and a pair draw." Eventually, the fold followed and Negreanu flashed his {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a pair of aces and a low.

Ladines Scoops to Stay Alive

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Joshua Ladines: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} / {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds} / {a-Spades}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} / {8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} / {q-Hearts}

On fourth street Joshua Ladines bet and Stephen Chidwick called. On fifth street, Chidwick bet and Ladines raised and was all in. Chidwick called and the down cards were turned over.

Ladines was ahead with a pair of tens against the open eights of Chidwick. The runout changed nothing, except improving Ladines to two pair, and with neither player making a low by seventh he took down the pot.

David "ODB" Baker

Razz

John Racener lost a big portion of his stack while Adam Friedman further soared up the leaderboard.

In the meanwhile, David "ODB" Baker won the third Razz pot in a row and loudly proclaimed that when he got Racener to fold on fourth street with a pair of sevens showing.

David "ODB" Baker: {x-}{x-} / {7-}{10-}{a-}{3-}
Daniel Negreanu: {x-}{x-} / {7-}{q-}{5-}{j-} folded on sixth

Baker then completed and was called by Daniel Negreanu. With the advantage appearing on every street, Baker bet all the way to sixth street on which Negreanu eventually folded after catching more paint.

Baker missed the six in a row when he folded a jack to the completion of Racener before their table broke soon after since Talal Shakerchi had been eliminated.
