No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Patrick Leonard was all-in for his final 1,500 from the small blind, at risk against Matthew Schultz on the button.

Leonard took one and Schultz was pat.

Patrick Leonard: 10x9x6x5x All in
Matthew Schultz: 9x8x6x4x3x

Leonard was already drawing dead against the pat nine of Schultz as he hit the rail for the second and final time after catching an irrelevant Qx. Leonard is still enjoying a great start to the summer, but will not find a bracelet in this event.

Limit Hold’em

Timothy Knauf raised from the hijack and was called by Chuning Tan in the small blind and Marcel Vonk in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked to Knauf, who continued for a bet on the 4♥K♥9♠ flop. Tan check-raised and Vonk called cold. Knauf called as well.

The Q♦ fell on the turn and Tan checked. Vonk bet, which got a fold from Knauf and a call from Tan.

Tan check-called a bet from Vonk after the 6♣ filled the river and Vonk turned over 9♦9♣ for a set of nines.

Tan couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Vonk.

Omaha Hi-Lo

A pot was brewing five-ways between Yuval Bronshtein from the small blind, Sebastian Schulz from the big blind, Richard Acovino from under the gun, Dave Stann from the hijack, and Antonio Seremet from the button. Each player committed one bet on the turn.

With the completed board reading K♦3♠2♥8♦A♠ with over 20,000 in the middle, Bronshtein led from the small blind. Everyone folded until it got to Seremet on the button who begrudgingly put in the call. He got the bad news immediately as Bronshtein tabled Q♣5♠4♠2♦ for a rivered wheel as he scooped a huge one.

Bennett took three after raising and everyone else took two. Tilton bet from the big blind, Bennett called, Brunner folded, and Talarico called.

Talarico and Tilton took one while Bennett still needed two. Tilton bet and both opponents called.

On the final draw, Talarico drew one, Tilton was pat, and Bennett drew one. However, there were not enough cards in the deck for the draw, so a reshuffle was needed. The action checked through as Tilton tabled 9x8x7x3x2x which was enough to scoop multi-way.
