Rubinstein Eliminated by Distenfeld

Level 11

2-7 Triple Draw

Donny Rubinstein was all-in with a severe short stack prior to the first draw and Gershon Distenfeld reraised to isolate. Distenfeld took one while Rubinstein took two and Distenfeld then patted the remaining two draws.

Rubinstein took one each and they revealed the cards.

Donny Rubinstein: 8x6x4x2x All in
Gershon Distenfeld: 7x6x5x4x2x

Rubinstein was already drawing dead and shook hands with Distenfeld before departing. Several big names are on the same table on which Philip Hui has staged a comeback from a very short stack not that long ago. Does that sound somewhat familiar?

Pot-Limit Omaha

Somehow, the stacks of Kristopher Tong, Eric Wasserson and Warwick Mirzikinian went into the middle of the table with the latter being the shortest stack of 55,900. He even declared that he was just looking to gamble, with both Wasserson and especially Tong happy to oblige.

Warwick Mirzikinian: Q♥J♣10♦6♣
Eric Wasserson: Q♦9♣8♦6♠
Kristopher Tong: A♠A♥4♣3♥

The board ran out Q♠10♥9♦2♥K♣ and Mirzikinian tripled up with his straight while Wasserson doubled through Tong for 22,600.

"That's how you do it, Vlad," Mirzikinian said. Apparently, he had arrived with a very short stack as mentioned by Peck, who then also asked "the re-entry period is over, right?"

Hui Survives; Ruben Does Not as Distenfeld Climbs Further

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Philip Hui was all-in before the draw and looked up by table big stack Gershon Distenfeld. Both drew one and Distenfeld showed a 9x7x3x2x, but paired the seven. Hui was already ahead with the 9x6x4x2x and hit an ace to double.

Soon after, Brad Ruben was all-in before the draw against two opponents including Distenfeld. He discarded one and his 9x7x5x3x hit a king. The third player in the hand declared he hit a straight but Distenfeld had a ten to score the knockout.

No-Limit Hold'Em

Kazuhiko Yotsushika raised the small blind to 3,000 and the big blind called.

The action checked through on the J♣10♦Q♦ flop.

The turn brought the A♣. Yotsushika check-called a bet of 1,500 from the small blind.

On the 4♣ river, Yotsushika led for 5,000. The small blind thought for a while and decided to raise to 21,000. Yotsushika responded with a three-bet jam for 39,000 and the big blind snap-folded.

After the hand, the big blind announced, "Your cards flashed and I didn't even see a club."

Omaha Hi-Lo

On the three-way turn of 5♠5♣4♣8♥, Joe Hachem was all-in for 3,900 on the button. Christian Roberts in the big blind and the cutoff come along. After the K♠ river, Roberts check-called and briefly showed his cards but had none of the pots.

The cutoff won the low with A♠K♥Q♦3♥ and Hachem took the high with A♥A♣K♦9♠.

Yingui Li opened to 3,000 from under the gun and was called by the small blind.

Both players drew one card. The action checked to Li who bet 10,500. The small blind was pained by the decision but decided to toss in calling chips. Li revealed 9x7x6x5x2x to scoop the pot.
