Zaichenko Scoops to Bust Weiss

Level 16

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Andrey Zaichenko raised on the button, Dennis Weiss reraised in the big blind, and Zaichenko called. Weiss then put in his last chips on the 852 flop and Zaichenko called.

Dennis Weiss: AQ72 All in
Andrey Zaichenko: A644

The board ran out K9 and Zaichenko's pair of fours was enough to earn him the high, while he also had a low to scoop the pot and send the WSOP bracelet winner to the rail.

Wheely Good Start for Wesson

Level 16

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Kevin Xu opened the button, David Wesson three-bet from the big blind, and Xu called.

Wesson stood pat and Xu took one and called a bet of 15,000.

Xu took one again and Wesson led for 20,000. Xu then jammed for 66,000 and Wesson snapped it off. Both players turned over their hands despite there being one draw left.

Kevin Xu: 8x7x6x5x2x All in
David Wesson: 7x5x4x3x2x

Realizing his mistake Xu ditched the eight and the six but bricked as he hit the exit in a cooler scenario as Wesson was dealt number one.

Clint Wolcyn: XxXx / 4x3xAx10x / Xx

Turner ended up with Qx4x2x for a 10-7-4-2-3 and Sammartino could only manage 9x6x5x for a J-9-8 as Turner doubled up.

Le took one on the second draw and check-called all-in for 8,000. Both stood pat on the end.

Nam Le: 6532A All in
Daniel Zack: 6543A

Both players held monster badacey hands, but Le had Zack pipped on both sides with a six-five-three low and badugi against the six-five-four (with no badugi) of Zack.

Scheinberg Triples Amid Controversy

Level 16

Badacey

Joseph Scheinberg bet after the first draw and both Todd Brenn in the cutoff and James Woods on the button called.

Scheinberg stood pat and bet his last chips, while Brenn took one and Woods two. Both opponents called.

"Six-five," Scheinberg announced as he briefly flashed his cards before being told there was still another draw to come. Woods insisted that Scheinberg be forced to show and asked for the floor to come over.

"It's critical we see those cards. I'm going to ask to check the cameras," Woods insisted. It took several minutes to resolve the matter, but it was eventually ruled that it was uncertain which cards Scheinberg had actually showed so he only turned over the 65 he originally announced.

Brenn then took one and Woods two. Brenn bet and Woods snap-folded as Scheinberg showed 6543A to scoop the pot and triple up.
