No-Limit Hold'em

Arthur Morris raised to 10,000 in the cutoff and Mike Matusow called in the big blind.

Matusow checked on the flop of Q♥J♥5♥ and Morris continued for 11,000. Matusow called. Matusow check-called again on the Q♠ turn as Morris sized up to 30,000.

Matusow checked once more on the J♠ river and Morris shook his head before checking back. Matusow showed K♣J♣ for a runner-runner full house and Morris mucked what he said was a flopped flush.

"You flopped a flush?! Really? That's so sick!" Matusow said.

"He's like 1% to win," Morris said in dismay.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Maximilian Schindler opened from the hijack, Albert Daher three-bet from the cutoff, and Schindler called to create a pot of over 80,000.

Schindler took one and Daher stood pat. Schindler then led for a little under 50,000 before Daher raised to 240,000 and Schindler reluctantly called. Daher showed 8x6x5x3x2x for a monster hand to drag a massive one off Schindler.

"You should add Never Run Like Albert, NRLA," joked tablemate Philip Sternheimer, "Just get dealt a pat number seven."

Stud Hi-Lo

Matthew Vengrin: XxXx / 9♦10♠10♥9♠ / Xx
Mike Gorodinsky: 6♠4♥3♠ / 4♦8♠4♣Q♣
Aaron Katz: XxXx / 3♥6♥7♠ - folded on fifth street

Gorodinsky completed first to act, Katz called on his left, Vengrin two-bet, and both called. Fourth street checked through.

Vengrin led fifth with open tens, Gorodinsky called, and Katz folded.

Vengrin led again on sixth with open two pair and Gorodinsky called.

Vengrin slowed down with a check on seventh, Gorodinsky bet, and Vengrin quickly called hoping to see a low. However, Gorodinsky announced three fours, and his trips were good as Vengrin could only frustratingly muck.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Luke Schwartz opened to 11,000 under the gun before Jesse Lonis potted to 39,000 next to act. On the button, Christopher Vitch four-bet pot to 134,000. In the big blind, Hal Rotholz called all-in for 20,000. Schwartz folded and Lonis called.

On the 7♦4♦3♥ flop, Lonis checked, Vitch potted, and Lonis called all-in for 142,000.

Jesse Lonis: A♣J♠7♠7♣ All in
Hal Rotholz: 8♠6♥5♣2♠ All in
Christopher Vitch: K♥K♦10♦7♥

Lonis flopped a set of sevens while Rotholz flopped the nut straight for the smaller main pot, and Vitch had a flush draw with an overpair.

"Keep it clean, dealer," Rotholz requested as the 2♣ brick came on the turn.

However, the script was flipped as the 9♦ peeled off on the river, giving Vitch the flush to eliminate two players as he becomes the largest stack in the room by a wide margin.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Freddy Deeb opened to 12,000 from the hijack and Christopher Vitch three-bet to 38,000 from the big blind. Deeb called.

Both players checked the J♣8♠6♥ flop leading to the 2♠ turn. Vitch bet 82,000 and Deeb called, leaving 31,000 behind.

Vitch shoved the K♠ river and Deeb folded, telling his tablemates he had 9-7-6-5 shortly after doing so.

Pot-Limit Omaha

The next hand saw Deeb open to 14,000 from under the gun and receive calls from Jesse Lonis on the button and Justin Liberto in the big blind.

The flop came 4♠Q♠Q♣. Liberto checked, Deeb shoved for his remaining 17,000, Lonis called with a covering stack and Liberto folded.

Freddy Deeb: A♦8♠7♦3♠ All in
Jesse Lonis: A♣Q♥6♥2♦

The rest of the board ran out 6♣7♠. Deeb had rivered a flush but it was no good against Lonis' full house. Deeb was sent to the rail as the pot was pushed to Lonis.
