Tull Stays Alive After Accidental Reveal

Level 16
Larry Tull
Larry Tull

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Ryan Goindoo raised in the cutoff and Larry Tull called on the button as they respectively drew two and one.

After the first draw, Goindoo checked and Tull bet pot with just 27,000 behind as Goindoo went deep into the tank before calling. Goindoo drew one and Tull stood pat.

After the second draw, Goindoo led out with a bet and Tull called off before Goindoo briefly tabled 76542 without realizing there was another draw.

"F***," Tull reacted after the misunderstanding that gave him additional information.

After the final draw, Goindoo tabled his hand again and the table waited in suspense as Tull had 6432 and peeled his final card as he risked going out on the money bubble. Tull revealed the 7 and the table erupted in screams as Tull made the best hand to stay alive after breaking his eight-six.

Dirksen Sends Henson In the Blender; Obst Pays For It

Level 16

Razz

Dustin Dirksen: 10x8x2x / Kx6x3x10x
Ray Henson: Qx10x5x / 8x5x6x7x

Ray Henson bet the lead and Dustin Dirksen called despite showing a king, as he joked, "ah whatever, we made it to the money", as Henson grinned back, "yeah, that was the goal".

Dirksen called it down all the way and when they flipped the cards over, both showed a ten-eight. "Did I really make it?" Dirksen inquired and Henson nodded with a tight but professional grin.

Ray Henson: 8x7x5x / 2x10xKxAx
James Obst: XxXx / 9xQx2x10x / Xx

Soon after, Henson took on James Obst who check-called on fifth and sixth. Henson bet seventh with just 8,000 behind and Obst reluctantly called. Henson showed a ten and essentially doubled.

Mizrachi Doubles Through Hennigan

Level 16

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

After the first draw, Robert Mizrachi moved all-in for the last 28,000 and John Hennigan called. Both discarded one and Hennigan exposed the 3 when he did so. Mizrachi then patted while Hennigan discarded one, flashing the 6 this time.

Mizrachi showed the 8x7x5x4x2x and Hennigan glanced over. "Wait, you have an eight? .... I cannot beat that," Hennigan said after he peeled and paired up.

Sampo Ryynanen Eliminated in 20th Place ($16,378)

Level 16
Sampo Ryynanen
Sampo Ryynanen

Badacey

After the first drawing round, Marco Johnson checked in the cutoff and Sampo Ryynanen bet on the button. Johnson called and discarded two versus one as he then check-called another bet.

Both then discarded one each and Johnson bet to see Ryynanen instantly grin a very sour smile. The Finn vaulted out of his chair, studied the opponent and double-checked his cards before he folded with fewer than one bet behind.

"You choose the next game, that is the good news," Paul Volpe mentioned in table chat and Ryynanen picked Limit Omaha High.

Ryynanen then moved all-in for 17,000 next and Volpe called out of the big blind.

Sampo Ryynanen: QJ85
Paul Volpe: QQJ6

The board ran out 1098KJ as Volpe turned the flush to eliminate Ryynanen in 20th place.

Tull Gets A Shove Through
