Kenney Slips Two Times

Level 15 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Bryn Kenney in the cutoff checked the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop and then called a bet by Koray Aldemir on the button. He repeated the same action on the {3-Clubs} turn and the {q-Hearts} river as Aldemir rolled over the {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for the straight.

"I had kings and nut diamond," Kenney admitted in table chat.

In the very next hand, Erik Seidel and Kenney both had the same low with ace-trey but Seidel had also paired his eight to win three quarters of the pot.

Bellande Chopped Up by Dzivielevski and Chidwick

Level 15 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Limit Omaha 8 or Better

With three bets each in on a flop of {k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Jean-Robert Bellande checked from the big blind and Stephen Chidwick checked from early position. Yuri Dzivielevski then bet from the button.

He was called in both spots to see the {10-Hearts} come on the turn and this time Bellande led out. He was called by Chidwick, but then Dzivielevski kept up his aggression with a raise. Again, both opponents called and a big pot was brewing.

On the {6-Spades} river, bringing in both a flush and a low, action was checked to Dzivielevski again and one final time he bet, leaving himself just 100,000 behind. Bellande folded, but Chidwick called.

Dzivielevski showed {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} for the nut flush to take the high half of the pot, while Chidwick showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for the nut low to claim his half of the pot.

More for Ashton and Bohlman

Level 15 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Matthew Ashton received full value out of a flopped nut flush with the low redraw when he was called down by Dan Cates and Johannes Becker let go on the river.

Andrew Kelsall raised in the next hand to receive three callers including Daniel Negreanu in the big blind. The {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop was checked and Negreanu bet the {8-Hearts} turn when checked to. No call followed as the pot was sent over to Negreanu. He then lost some chips against Scott Bohlman when giving up a queen-high flop.

Glaser Takes Two Hits

Level 15 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Seven Card Stud

Benny Glaser: {x-}{x-} / {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds} / {x-}
Dan Smith: {x-}{x-} / {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {x-}

Dan Smith completed with an ace and was called by Benny Glaser. Throughout the board, Smith bet his lead and Glaser called all the way including on seventh street. Smith announced aces up and tabled the {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for aces and fours to win the pot.

One hand later, Glaser was involved in the action again and folded on sixth street when David Williams bet and had very few big bets behind.

No-Limit Hold'em

On a flop of {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, Taylor Paur bet 100,000 from the small blind and was called on the button by Yuri Dzivielevski.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds}, and Paur continued betting, this time for 150,000. Again Dzivielevski called.

On the river {a-Diamonds}, Paur fired one last big bullet, all-in for his Brazilian opponent's last 470,000.

Dzivielevski went into the tank for a couple of minutes before finally deciding on a fold to preserve his stack, as Paur pushes his stack toward the chip lead.
