Jeremy Geist

Level 4

Omaha Hi Lo

On the last hand before break action folded to Daniel Negreanu in middle position who who opened to 10,000. It folded to Josh Arieh in the small blind who called and the big blind folded.

The 8♣6♦9♦ flop hit the felt and Arieh opted to lead for 10,000. Negreanu quickly made the call and the A♥ hit the turn. Arieh led again and Negreanu stood up, counted his chips, and eventually tossed his hand in frustration.

Arieh was nice enough to show that he had the good with AxJx5x7x for a flopped straight and a decent low. He scooped and added to his already above average stack.

No-Limit Hold'em

John Monnette opened to 6,500 in the hijack and Dario Sammartino called out of the big blind shortly after Albert Daher joked that Sammartino's range consists exclusively of suited connectors.

"Have you seen him show down hands? It's all suited connectors!" laughed Daher.

Sammartino checked on the flop of 10♦2♠A♠ and Monnette continued for 6,000. Sammartino check-raised to 20,000 and Monnette called.

Sammartino checked on the J♣ turn and Monnette checked back. Sammartino then bet a small 15,000 on the K♠ turn and Monnette raised to 68,000. The Italian went in the tank and removed his yellow-tinted sunglasses before folding.

Jeremy Geist

Level 4

Omaha Hi-Lo

The action folded all the way to John Hennigan who opened to 10,000 in the small blind. The big blind was Yuval Bronshtein who made the call.

The 6♥9♥K♦ flop landed and Hennigan bet. Bronshtein called and the turn hit an A♦.

The turn had barely hit the board and Hennigan already had his bet out. Again, Bronshtein called.

The 2♥ landed on the river completing the flush and Hennigan thought for a moment before checking. Without much thought, Bronshtein put out the bet. Hennigan dropped his chips in frustration and went into the tank for about a minute before he folded.

Bronshtein scooped a nice pot without having to go to showdown.
