Mike Patrick

Level 21

Omaha 8 or Better

After a short-stacked John Racener raised in early position, an even shorter-stacked Jonathan Williams moved all in for his last 62,000.

After the floor was called to clarify for Andrew Brown if he could re-raise to 87,000, it was confirmed that he could, so he did. Racener called, leaving himself with just 86,000 behind.

On the flop, Brown checked and Racener bet. Brown then check-raised, and Racener tossed his cards frustratedly into the muck, leaving Brown heads up against Williams.

Jonathan Williams:
Andrew Brown:

Brown's aces were ahead and after the runout of , Brown's full house took down the pot and sent Williams to the payout desk.

Stud

Yarron Bendor: //
Andrew Brown: /

"Full house," said Bendor.

"You don't miss, do you?" said Brown. "Two pair just turns into a full house every time."

Brown had the better two pair going into seventh, but Bendor drilled the nine to go with his nines in the hole.

Wang's Decision to Continue Pays Off

Mike Patrick

Level 22

Razz

Lena Wang: /
joseph Thomas: /
Yarron Bendor: / - folded fifth street

After Lena Wang completed, there was a bit of confusion regarding Yarron Bendor's intention to raise or call the bet based on how he had placed his chips forward and when he had said "raise", as Joseph Thomas had put forward calling chips for the value of the original completion of 30,000 as Bendor had placed his chips.

The floor ruled that his bet would be just a call. Thomas's call stood as well and the trio went to fourth street.

Thomas caught best and bet, sending Wang into a brief tank as she was starting to get short-stacked. Ultimately she decided to continue and called, as did Bendor.

On fifth street, Wang took the betting lead. Bendor folded picking up a jack and Thomas called.

Wang bet sixth street and Thomas called. On seventh street, both players checked.

Wang showed a nine-seven, which pipped Thomas' nine-eight to earn a healthy pot just before break.
