Bohlman Short Again

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Crazy Three-Way Split Pot in Rapid Fashion

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Ap Garza raised on the button and Scott Bohlman made it three bets in the small blind for Bryce Yockey to four-bet and the five-bet followed as three-way capped action proceeded.. On the {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop, Bohlman checked and Yockey bet for Garza to raise and Bohlman to call. Yockey then reraised and received two calls.

"One of you guys will get hurt," Matthew Gonzales chimed in while the rapid-fire action continued without any break

The {3-Diamonds} on the turn was checked by Bohlman once more and Yockey bet, Garza raised and Bohlman stuck around to then also call a three-bet by Yockey with Garza coming along too. Bohlman had fewer than one full bet behind to the {8-Clubs} river and moved all-in for 95,000. Yockey raised and Garza called as all cards were finally revealed.

Bohlman with the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Yockey with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Spades}{2-Spades} had the nut low while Garza won half the pot with the {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for the high pot with his two pair.

Smith Short on the Bubble

Level 17 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

In the last hand of the first rotation, Dan Smith and Philip Sternheimer patted the last draw and Smith then check-called a bet by Sternheimer. The latter revealed the {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and that won the pot. Smith inquired to see if he had improved and flipped a seven over, which would have paired his hand.

Sternheimer then won the first hand in NLHE when he and Yuri Dzivielevski checked down a battle of the blinds to the {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} river. Sternheimer bet 75,000 and earned a call to win the pot with the {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

A short-stacked Matthew Gonzales raised on the button and was called in the small blind by Ap Garza.

Each player drew one, with Gonzales playfully putting the {k-Hearts} on the brim of Garza's black cowboy hat.

The players then checked, and each drew one again.

This time Garza led out with a bet to start the big bet rounds, which was met with a raise by Gonzales, leaving himself just 120,000 chips behind.

Garza hesitantly made the call, then patted his hand. Gonzales also stood pat before the final round of betting.

Garza now checked, and Gonzales put out a bet to leave himself just 20,000 behind.

Garza bemoaned his decision, then flashed the {9-Hearts} and folded his hand.

Gonzales slammed his winning hand down onto the table as the pot was pushed his way.

"I f***, boys! I f***, proclaimed Gonzales enthusiastically as he stacked his chips.

The table laughed heartily at Gonzales' proclamation, then asked the PokerNews reporting team to ensure the comma in his statement was correctly placed in this post.
