Thorpe Snaps a Picture

Level 17

Pot-Limit Omaha

"Hold on, let me take a picture in case I die," an all-in Mike Thorpe said as he was heads-up against Frank Muir.

Thorpe was all in for around 35,000 on the turn with the board showing 2♠Q♥3♠K♣ and had Q♦Q♣A♦10♦ for a Broadway straight. Muir turned over 6♦4♦5♥7♥ for a straight draw.

The river came the J♣ and Thorpe doubled up.

"Just a queen would've been good," a tablemate told Thorpe.

"I didn't know that. PLO is my absolute worst game," Thorpe responded.

Imani Raises Urbanovich on the River

Level 17

Heads-up on a flop of 3♠7♣3♦, Dariush Imani bet from the cutoff and Dzmitry Urbanovich raised in early position.

Imani called, then called another bet on the Q♦ turn. The river came the 8♦ and Urbanovich bet again.

Imani this time came back with a raise and Urbanovich quickly gave up his hand.

Laval Picks off Kost's Bluff

Level 17

Limit Hold 'em

Philippe Laval raised on the button and got a call from Nick Kost in the big blind.

On the 2♦3♣J♦ flop, Kost check-called a bet from Laval to see the 2♠ on the turn.

The players checked to the 7♦ river and Kost quickly fired out a bet. Laval thought very briefly and then made the call.

Kost tossed 10♣8♦ onto the table for ten-high, while Laval showed A♥Q♥ for a winning ace-high.

Limit Omaha 8 or Better

After Frank Muir raised in the cutoff, "Crazy" Mike Thorpe defended his big blind to see a flop of 3♦4♠K♣.

Thorpe check-called a bet from Muir to see the 2♥ come on the turn and checked again.

Muir bet once more and got a fold from the high-stakes mixed cash game player, who's been seen in several WSOP mixed game tournaments this summer, including a 19th place finish in the $1,500 Limit Omaha 8 or Better.

Sammartino Cuts Down Barber

Level 17

Pot-Limit Omaha

Heads-up on a flop of 4♠Q♣8♦, Dario Sammartino bet enough to put Andrew Barber all in, and Barber called for his last 18,000.

Andrew Barber: A♦J♠8♥10♥
Dario Sammartino: A♥J♥J♣10♠

Sammartino was ahead with his pair of jacks as the K♣ fell on the turn, followed by the 6♥ as Barber was sent to the rail.

Another Round of Eliminations

Level 17

Le Raises Big on Jett

Level 17

Pot-Limit Omaha

Heads-up on a board of 5♣4♦Q♥7♦, Chip Jett bet 30,000 from the big blind as action went on Allan Le on the button.

Le announced pot for 132,000 and Jett, with around 100,000 remaining, tanked for a moment before folding.

"Show the bluff," tablemate Shaun Deeb told Le following the hand.

"Can't. Too many good cards," Le responded.

Brown Flops the Wheel

Level 17

Pot-Limit Omaha

Daniel Blum raised to 6,000 from under the gun and Andrew Brown called in the cutoff.

The flop came 2♦4♥5♦ and Blum checked over to Brown, who potted for 17,000. Blum now pushed forward a tower of chips to put Brown all in, and Brown called for his last 48,000.

Andrew Brown: A♣3♣3♠10♠
Daniel Blum: A♥A♦8♥7♥

Blum had aces, but Brown had flopped the wheel and was a big favorite to double up. The board ran out 5♠2♥ and Brown stayed in front to secure the pot.

Allen Kessler

Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Bets were in front of Allen Kessler and Thor William Morstoel with a completed board of 6♥4♦8♣K♣A♣.

Kessler was in early position and called a river bet from Morstoel, but he wasn't happy about it.

Morstoel showed A♠K♦5♦3♣ for top two pair and a six-five low.

Kessler bemoaned his bad fortune, showing A♦2♦, with his nut low counterfeited on the river by Morstoel, who ended up scooping the pot away from the "Chainsaw"
