Level 5

Omaha Hi-Lo

Dave "Hollywood" Stann raised from middle position, Tim McGuigan three-bet from the button, the small blind made it four bets, and both players called.

On the 8♥3♦2♠ flop, the small blind led with a bet and both players called.

The turn brought the 5♣. The small blind checked, Stann bet, McGuigan called, and the small blind folded.

The 10♠ peeled off on the river. Stann bet, McGuigan raised, and Stann quickly folded.

"I believe you," said Stann as McGuigan raked in a sizeable pot without showdown.

Yuichi Kanai: XxXx / 3x7x6x folded on fifth street
Opponent: XxXx / 4x5xAx

Japan's Yuichi Kanai has started well in the day and more than doubled his stack already. In the latest hand he was heads-up at one of the recently opened tables and called bets on the fourth street. He then faced another bet on fifth and tanked for 30 seconds to then let go.

Level 4

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was picked up on the flop in a four-way pot between a player in middle position, Anthony Hu in the cutoff, and both blinds.

On the J♠8♠3♣ flop, the middle position player bet 2,500, Hu called, and the big blind called.

The 8♣ peeled off on the turn. The action checked to Hu who bet 5,000 and only the middle position player called.

The river brought the 6♠. The middle position player decided to lead for 12,000 and Hu thought for a while before he flicked in the call.

Middle Position: A♥J♣4♥4♣
Anthony Hu: Q♠10♠10♦8♦

Hu made the correct call with the queen-high flush to drag a large pot.

Level 4

2-7 Triple Draw

Yuri Dzivielevski raised and earned calls from Bryan Micon as well as Bruno Fitoussi. On the first draw, Fitoussi discarded two, Dzivielevski one and Micon two. Fitoussi check-called Dzivielevski's bet and Micon also came along for the ride as well.

Fitoussi and Micon discarded the same amount on the second draw while Dzivielevski patted. Fitoussi checked, Dzivielevski bet and only Micon called.

Dzivielevski patted once more with Micon taking one and they checked. The Brazilian showed 9x6x5x4x2x and Micon open-mucked a bricked 8x7x5x2x draw.

Level 4

No-Limit Hold’em

Joe Hachem arrived at the table which also features fellow Aussie James Obst and glanced at the game placque before making his decision.

"What game is it? Limit Hold'em?" he asked and another player replied "No Limit Hold'em. You know anything about that game?"

Hachem folded and Robert McLaughlin one seat over opened to 800, only the big blind called. On a A♣8♦6♣ flop, the big blind check-called for 1,000 and then check-folded the 7♥ turn when McLaughlin made it 3,000 to go.
