Pot-Limit Omaha

Tom Koral raised to 2,000 from the hijack and was called by Noah Bronstein on the button and Michelle Konig in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked through on the 10♦9♣Q♣ flop and 10♣ turn and it was checked again to Bronstein, who bet 2,000 on the Q♠ river.

Konig folded, but Koral decided to look up Bronstein, who tabled 6♦6♣4♣4♥ for a flush.

Koral couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Bronstein.

Seven Card Stud

Anson Tsang: XxXx / 5♣2♦7♠9♣ / Xx
Fernando Zuliani: XxXx / 7♥10♠A♦ - folded on fifth street
Jen Harman: A♣6♣2♥ / K♣K♠8♦3♥

Action picked up on fourth as Harman led with open kings but her opponents were undeterred as they put in the call.

Harman led again on fifth and only Tsang called. Tsang called another bet on sixth.

The action slowly checked through as Harman revealed her hole cards to reveal just the lone pair of kings, which Tsang could not beat as he mucked.

Omaha Hi-Lo

James Collopy raised from the hijack and was called by Chris Hundley in the cutoff. Yuri Dzivielevski made it three bets to go on the button and both Collopy and Hundley called for a bloated three-way pot.

Action checked through on the 9♥5♦K♦ flop and Collopy led out for a bet on the 2♥ turn. Hundley called and Dzivielevski folded.

The J♣ completed the board and Collopy bet again. Hundley let his hand go and Collopy collected a nice pot without a showdown.

2-7 Triple Draw

Jon Kyte raised from the hijack, Donald McNamara three-bet from the small blind, and McNamara called.

Both players drew two as Kyte joked, "You raise me and then draw two?" and McNamara checked to Kyte who bet. McNamara called as he flashed Q♠Q♣ as his unfortunate discards.

McNamara still needed two and Kyte was pat. McNamara check-called for his final 200 chips. McNamara was drawing one on the end.

Donald McNamara: 8x6x5x3x All in
Jon Kyte: 7x6x5x4x2x

McNamara was drawing dead with his eight draw against the number four of Kyte. McNamara received an irrelevant 9x as he wished his opponents farewell on his way to the exit.

Anthony Ribeiro completed and was called by David Williams.

Ribeiro called bets from Williams on fourth and fifth street and then Ribeiro led out for a bet after Williams caught a king on sixth. Williams called.

Action checked through on seventh street and Ribeiro turned over Jx4xAx for a seven. Williams swung his arms into the air briefly and mucked his hand — awarding the pot to Ribeiro.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was picked up three-ways to the Q♦5♥2♣ flop with 17,000 in the middle. David Williams led for 7,000 from the small blind before Brian Breck potted to 38,000 from the hijack. Lawrence Brandt got out of the way from the hijack before Williams called all-in for 32,900.

David Williams: A♠A♣8♦6♣ All in
Brian Breck: 6♦5♠4♠4♥

Williams was ahead with aces against the middle pair and gutter of Breck. The K♥ offered no help to either player before the 4♦ river gave Breck a set of fours as Williams could only shrug at the brutal river on his way to the exit.

Owais Ahmed completed with his six and was called by Brian Rast and Sami Bechahed for a three-way pot.

Ahmed bet on fourth street and only Rast called.

Rast then led out for a bet on fifth street and Ahmed called.

Action checked through on sixth street and Rast went back to betting on seventh.

Ahmed looked like he wanted to call, but re-checked his hole cards before sending them into the muck.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Brian Brunner opened too 2,500 from under the gun and was called by Jeremy Trojand in the cutoff, Hooman Nikzad on the button, and Tom McCormick in the big blind.

On the A♦Q♣5♦ flop, Brunner continued for 4,500, Trojand called all-in for 3,900, and Nikzad called on the button.

Brunner opted to check on the 8♦ turn before Nikzad bet 5,000 and Brunner called.

On the J♦ river, Brunner reluctantly check-called a bet of 10,000 from Nikzad.

Jeremy Trojand: K♥J♣10♥8♥ All in
Brian Brunner: Q♦J♥10♠7♦
Hooman Nikzad: A♠10♦7♠3♦

Trojand rivered broadway but was no good against the flushes of Brunner and Nikzad, who value-owned himself on the turn and river betting a worse flush, as Brunner made the right call on the river with the second nuts to scoop the pot.
