Badacey

Andrew Kelsall raised under the gun and Koji Fujimoto called in the big blind.

On the second draw, Fujimoto took two and Kelsall took one. Kelsall was all-in for 2,000 more and Fujimoto called. Both took one on the end.

Andrew Kelsall: 8♣6♠5♥A♦ All in
Koji Fujimoto: 8♥5♣4♠A♠

Kelsall had a made eight badugi but a slightly worse low draw. Fujimoto pulled the 5♦ to pair before Kelsall got the 3♦ which was good for the scoop as he survived.

Level 16

Pot-Limit Omaha

Ilkka Heikkila potted the button to 21,000 before Matthew Vengrin repotted the small blind to 69,000. Phil Hellmuth in the big blind seemed to have a difficult decision before he opted to fold. Heikkila called all-in for 58,000. Hellmuth flashed KxKx as the other hands were tabled.

Ilkka Heikkila: A♦J♦8♠4♠ All in
Matthew Vengrin: A♠A♣Q♥6♦

The K♠5♥5♣ flop landed which immediately sent Hellmuth into a frenzy as he lamented, "Aye-yah kings full!"

The board ran out 3♦5♦ which was no help to Heikkila as he hit the exit at the hands of Vengrin.

Bariscan Betil raised in the hijack and Daniel Negreanu called in the cutoff. Matt Glantz then reraised in the big blind and both Betil and Negreanu called.

Glantz drew one, while Betil and Negreanu took two. Glantz then bet and Betil raised. Negreanu got out of the way, while Glantz called all in.

Glantz took one on the last two draws, while Betil stood pat. Betil turned over 9♣8♦6♣4♥2♠ for a 9-8 and Badugi, while Glantz had 8♥5♣3♠2♣ showing but caught the J♠ on his last card and was sent to the rail.

Felipe Ramos was also recently eliminated.

Badugi

Phil Hui raised all-in from the cutoff and Alex Livingston called on the button.

Hui took two and Livingston took one on all three draws.

Phil Hui: 5♥A♠ All in
Alex Livingston: 6♥4♦A♣

Livingston went first and got the 7♣ to finish with a three-card six. Hui first peeled the J♣ to stay alive until he flipped over the 4♠ and was eliminated with the worse three-card.

No rest for Hui as he announced he was headed straight to the PLO8 tournament to max-late reg, as the tournament has been reduced to its final 5 tables.
