Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Julien Martini: K♥4♣/4♥K♣3♣10♥/8♣ 
Brian Brunner: XxXx/9♦Xx - folded fourth street
Dan Shak: 8♠4♦/8♥4♠8♦10♠/J♣
Mike Matusow: XxXx/A♠7♥7♠ - folded fifth street
Julien Martini called the bring-in, getting Brian Brunner and Dan Shak to come along as well. Mike Matusow then completed, and all three players stuck in calls.
Matusow bet again on fourth street, and only Brunner laid down his hand. On fifth street, Shak paired his eight and took the betting lead. Matusow then raised before Martini committed his final 4,900 chips. Shak three-bet, causing Matusow to fold his hand for the extra bet.
Shak's full house had Martini's two pair drawing slim. The latter failed to fill up with his two remaining cards and he sought the exit disillusioned.

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
In a blind versus blind battle, Steven Loube bet on the 8♦Q♠5♦ flop and Yingui Li called.
The turn was the 10♠ and Loube bet again. Li called. "Keep it high, dealer. Don't do it to me," Loube pleaded.
The river was the K♦ and both players checked. "Straight," Loube said, but Li showed J♠10♦8♠3♦ for a flush.
"I know," Loube said as he mucked.
"I know you know," Li replied, taking in the pot.
"It was my fault. I should've specified exactly what high card I wanted," Loube added.

Pot-Limit Omaha
Phil Ivey and Jeff Madsen were heads-up on the turn with the board showing 8♣4♣Q♦2♠. Madsen then bet from the big blind before Ivey moved all in from under the gun for around 50,000. Madsen sighed and eventually called.
Madsen showed A♦A♥J♠J♥, but Ivey had 9♠8♠5♦2♦ and was ahead with two pair. Daniel Negreanu came over from another table and began filming the action as the 9♣ completed the board, giving Ivey a double up.
"I know Phil loves when I do this. Smile for the people, Phil," Negreanu said.
"What people," Ivey replied.
"There are millions watching. This man is a professional. Where do you have to be playing nine-eight-five-deuce? And people laugh at me and the hands I play," Negreanu added.

Jean-Robert Bellande and Nick Guagenti had each put in 5,000 on a flop of A♥J♥Q♣ when Bellande checked to Guagenti on the J♣ turn. Guagenti then made a bet of 15,000 chips and "JRB" called.
Bellande checked once more on the K♠ river and Guagenti swiftly put him all in for 27,200 chips.
Bellande mulled it over for a few moments before finding a fold as he saw Guagenti's stack grow to more than two starting stacks.

Daniel Negreanu and Anthony Arvidson went to the 10♣10♠Q♣ flop where Negreanu bet enough from the button to put Arvidson all in. Arvidson called for his last 45,000 in the small blind.
Anthony Arvidson: A♦J♥10♥4♣2♠
Daniel Negreanu: A♠A♣8♥8♣4♣
Arvidson was ahead with his flopped trips as the K♥ turn improved him to a straight. The river, though, was the 3♣ and Negreanu made a flush to send Arvidson to the rail.

Obst stood pat, while Lindgren drew one. Lindgren then bet again and Obst called.
Lindgren showed 7♥5♣4♠3♣2♦ for a low and Badugi, and Obst mucked.
Phil Ivey just took his seat in the tournament, while Brian Rast and Adam Friedman have recently been eliminated.
