Limit Hold'em

Frank Brannan raised from under the gun, Tyler Phillips three-bet from the button, Brannan made it four bets, Phillips capped it at five bets, and Brannan called.

Brannan check-called a bet from Phillips on the A♣9♥5♣ flop.

On the A♠ turn, Brannan opted to lead and Phillips called.

Brannan led again on the 4♦ river, much to the distaste of Phillips who sat back in his chair and counted out his chips before he opted to let it go, as Brannan dragged a big one without showdown.

In a side conversation, Matthew Schreiber mentioned, "These young kids are tough."

Brannan replied, "I'm old now, I'm 30. Well 29, but almost 30."

Omaha Hi-Lo

Anson Tsang from the small blind and Martin Kabrhel from the big blind were heads-up to the 6♣5♣3♥ flop with 45,000 in the middle already as Tsang check-called a bet from Kabrhel.

On the J♦ turn, Tsang check-called another bet from Kabrhel, who confirmed that he was able to bet just 10,000 at this juncture.

Kabrhel could not believe the 2♦ river as he let it his trademarked, "Not like that! This is literally the worst card for me."

Tsang checked and Kabrhel would take some time before he bet, and Tsang called after a long deliberation.

"Okay, so I for sure have half," Kabrhel explained as he tabled A♦2♥ for the counterfeited nut low, followed by A♣Q♥. Tsang tabled A♠9♥7♦6♠ as both players played the same low, and Kabrhel won the high with aces.

Lonis was ahead with the nut flush, while Arieh had a set and the nut low draw. The river was the 8♥, and Arieh made his low to get half the pot and survive.
