No-Limit Hold'em

Maxx Coleman raised in the cutoff and found a call from Hye Park on the button. Tom Koral defended his big blind to the 5♦Q♦3♥ flop.

Koral and Coleman checked, with Park tossing out a bet of 2,000. Koral called while Coleman got out of the way.

Both players then checked the 7♦ turn, with Koral tapping the table again following the 6♥ river. Park sized up to 7,000 and Koral took some time before making the call.

Park turned over 8♥8♦ for a pair of eights, good enough to claim the pot as Koral mucked.

2-7 Triple Draw

Toby Lewis raised and made the call after Eli Elezra three-bet. Lewis drew two cards while Elezra asked for one. Elezra bet before Lewis announced a raise.

"Me too," said Elezra as he tossed out more chips. Lewis called and took one, with Elezra standing pat.

Lewis was quick to fold this time when Elezra bet, seeing the pot shipped to his left.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Mike Watson fired a bet of 5,000 from the cutoff on the 8♠8♦J♦7♣ turn, with David Funkhouser check-calling in the big blind.

Funkhouser checked one last time after seeing the 3♠ river and was facing another bet as Watson slid out 18,000.

After taking some time, Funkhouser let his hand go and Watson dragged in another pot.

At a nearby table, Brad Ruben lost the rest of his short stack to Scott Seiver and exited the tournament area.

Phil Hui in the small blind and Robert Mizrachi in the big blind were heads up to the 8♠6♣J♣ flop. Hui checked to Mizrachi, who tossed out a bet of 1,500.

Hui made the call and checked again on the 5♥ turn. Mizrachi fired again, this time for 6,000. Hui quickly folded and Mizrachi took down the pot.

Stud Hi-Lo

A player completed, Nick Pupillo raised, Marco Johnson made it three bets, and only Pupillo called.

Nick Pupillo: XxXxXx / Q♥4♠Q♦3♥
Marco Johnson: Q♣2♦2♣ / 2♥6♦2♠10♦

Johnson led on fourth and was called. Pupillo led on fifth after he made open queens and Johnson just called.

Pupillo led again on sixth and Johnson raised this time and was called.

On seventh, Pupillo reluctantly check-called a bet from Johnson who made quad twos to scoop a sizeable pot.

Razz

Mike Watson: XxXx/2x10xAx8x
Kyle Montgomery: XxXx/9xAx9x10x - folded on sixth street

Kyle Montgomery called the bring in and called again after Mike Watson completed on his left.

Both players checked through fourth street before Watson fired a bet on fifth. Montgomery made the call and was facing another bet on sixth.

That was enough to produce the fold, as Montgomery let it go and Watson took down a small pot.
