Level 15

Razz

Marco Johnson: Jx5x2x/10x10x5x5x
Roland Israelashvili: 7x3x2x/3xJx8xJx
Scott Bohlman: AxJx2x/4x8x8xQx

Scott Bohlman completed and was called by Roland Israelashvili. Marco Johnson then raised and both Bohlman and Israelashvili called.

Bohlman bet on fourth street and Israelashvili called. Johnson also called all in.

Both Bohlman and Israelashvili checked on fifth and sixth, but then Bohlman bet on seventh and Israelashvili called all in as well.

Bohlman ended up with Jx8x4x2xAx for a jack, which was best against Israelashvili's Jx8x7x3x2x for a worse jack and Johnson's full house — scoring Bohlman the double knockout.

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Jerry Wong raised preflop under the gun, with Brian Hastings defending his big blind.

Both players checked the 7♦Q♥J♥ flop before Hastings led out on the 4♣ turn. Wong made the call.

The J♦ river brought two more checks. Hastings turned over A♦K♠3♦2♦, and took down the pot when Wong mucked.

Level 15

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Philip Sternheimer: A♥7♥/4♦8♥Q♣4♠/9♦
Joao Vieira: J♥J♠/6♦J♦A♦6♣/2♣
Eric Wasserson: XxXx/7♠2♥7♦K♦ - folded on sixth street

Catching up on fourth street with Philip Sternheimer already all in, Eric Wasserson called bets from Joao Vieira on fourth and fifth street, but folded facing another bet on sixth.

Vieira had already locked up the high with a full house and drew a 2♣ on seventh. Sternheimer was drawing to a chop, but peeled the 9♦ — awarding Vieira the scoop and sending Sternheimer to the rail.

Wasserson Already Has It; Deeb Out

Geoff Paul

Level 15

Seven Card Stud

Joao Vieira: XxXx/K♠9♠8♣A♠/Xx
Eric Wasserson: XxXx/J♦6♥4♦2♦/Xx

Wasserson completed before calling a raise from Vieira.

Fourth through seventh streets all went the same - each time Vieira bet, and each time Wasserson called.

"I have a flush already," said Wasserson.

"A flush already?" asked Vieira.

Wasserson turned over 9♦8♦6♦, and had already made the flush before getting his final card, enough to take the pot.

Elsewhere, Player of the Year contender Shaun Deeb was seen exiting the tournament area after being eliminated.

Hennigan Has The Winning Two Pair

Dan O'Hair

Level 15

Seven Card Stud

John Hennigan: 8♦8♣3♣/K♠2♥J♣3♥
Matt Grapenthien: 5♠4♣4♦/10♣2♠2♣Q♠

Matt Grapenthien completed and was raised by John Hennigan. Action folded back to Grapenthien, who called.

Grapenthien called a bet from Hennigan on fourth street and then led out for bets on fifth and sixth, which Hennigan called.

Both players checked down on seventh and Hennigan tabled 8♦8♣3♣ for eights and threes. They were best against Grapenthien's 5♠4♣4♦ for an inferior two pair and Hennigan was sent the pot.
