Pisarenko Bests Wells; Sternheimer Eliminated

Will Shillibier

Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a 8♥7♥2♣K♣ board, Robert Wells check-called 11,500 from Maksim Pisarenko and the river was the 7♦.

Wells checked and Pisarenko bet 32,000. Wells called, but Pisarenko tabled 9♠8♣7♠4♣ for a full house and took down the pot.

Philip Sternheimer was previously sat at his table, but has recently been eliminated, with his chips seemingly split between Daniel Negreanu and John David Rogers.

Level 5

No-Limit Hold'em

Dzmitry Urbanovich raised to 6,000 from the hijack and was called by Phil Ivey in the small blind and Rob Hollink in the big blind.

Everyone checked on the 5♣K♦2♥ flop and Ivey checked again on the 9♦ turn. Hollink bet 13,000 and Urbanovich rasied to 42,000.

Ivey called cold and Hollink let his hand go.

Both players checked after the 6♣ completed the board and Ivey tabled K♥Q♥. Urbanovich turned over K♣Q♣ for the same hand and they chopped up the pot.

Level 5

2-7 Triple Draw

A short-stacked Ben Diebold was all-in and at risk prior to the final draw and up against Dzmitry Urbanovich with the following cards exposed.

Ben Diebold: 7x6x5x3x All in
Dzmitry Urbanovich: 8x5x3x2x

Urbanovich hit the 4x and that left Diebold in very rough shape. He found no miracle escape as a Qx ended his run in the tournament.

Will Shillibier

Level 5

No-Limit Hold'em

Five players each checked the Q♠J♦2♣ flop and the turn was the 9♥. Elior Sion checked and Ben Lamb bet 12,500.

Ben Yu called and Roman Yitzhaki folded. Sion then check-raised all in for 79,500. Lamb moved all in and Yu folded.

Elior Sion: K♣10♣ All in
Ben Lamb: 10♠8♣

Sion had turned the nut straight, with Lamb needing a king to chop. However, the river was the Q♥ and former champion Sion doubled up.

Three ways to the 10♣10♦5♦9♣ turn, Bryce Yockey checked and Nick Guagenti bet for Matthew Ashton to reraise. Yockey called and so did Guagenti. They checked the 5♠ river and the J♦J♠ of Guagenti won the pot.

Glaser Building Back

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha

Dan Cates limped in the small blind and Benny Glaser three-bet to 11,000 in the cutoff. The button and blinds folded to send the action back to Cates, who called.

Cates checked to Glaser on the 3♠J♥Q♥ flop. The British mixed game specialist continued for 25,000. After some thought, Cates decided to get out of the way to send some much needed chips Glaser's way as he moves back up over the 100,000 mark.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Action folded around to the blinds, where Andres Korn raised to 9,000 from the small blind and Erick Lindgren called from the big blind.

Korn stood pat and Lindgren drew one. Korn then bet 10,500 and Lindgren looked him up.

Korn fanned out 8x7x6x3x2x and Lindgren gave Korn a quick peek at his hand before sending it into the muck.

Will Shillibier

Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was heads-up on a A♥K♦6♠8♥4♥ board between Albert Daher and John Racener.

Daher appeared to have bet the pot, with Racener having a sizeable raise of 225,000 sat in front of him.

Daher deliberated, muttering "I have a very big fucking hand" to himself under his breath before folding.

"Show the bluff one fucking time," said Eric Wasserson, with Racener showing K♥K♣10♠8♦ for top set, albeit with the king of hearts.

Level 5

2-7 Triple Draw

Roman Yitzhaki raised from under the gun and called a three-bet by Ali Eslami in the big blind. Eslami patted and Yitzahki took two for Eslami to bet, Yitzhaki to raise and Eslami to call.

On the second draw, Eslami took one and Yitzhaki now patted. Eslami check-raised and Yitzhaki called.

Both patted the final draw and Eslami's bet was called. They both showed 8x6x5x3x2x and chopped it up.
