Threadgill Has Kicker Problems

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Julius Threadgill
Julius Threadgill

Four players headed to the 77J flop that saw Alex Foxen and Chaoxing Li check from the blinds. Felipe Campins bet 600 out of the cutoff, and was met by a raise to 3,600 by Julius Threadgill on the button. Foxen and Li folded, but Campins stuck around with a call.

Campins check-called a bet of 4,200 from Threadgill on the 2 turn to see the 2 fall on the river. Campins led out for 6,600, which Threadgill reluctantly called.

Campins showed the winner with A763 for trip sevens. Threadgill turned over the 7 to show he also had trips, but Campins won the pot because he had the higher kicker.

Barbero Bricks First Bullet

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Nacho Barbero

Action was picked up on the river, with a board reading 927A6 and 30,000 in the middle. Michal Schuh in the small blind had checked his option over to Nacho Barbero on the button, who then shoved his remaining 23,000.

Schuh went into the tank for around two minutes before eventually making the call.

"Ace-nine," announced Barbero as he showed A10109. "You have aces?"

His assessment was correct as Schuh showed AAQ10 for top set.

Barbero busted shortly after. He has since rebought.

Li Loses Some to Jamasi

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Pei Li

Song Wang made it 600 from the cutoff with Pei Li calling from the button, and Danny Schechter calling out of the small blind. Farhad Jamasi spoiled the party, as he bumped up the price of poker by three-betting to 3,000. Wang folded, but Li and Schechter called.

The dealer revealed a flop of J7J, causing Schechter and Jamasi to check. Li bet 3,600, which only Jamasi called.

The J fell on the turn, and both players checked to see the 3 come on the river. Jamasi led out for 5,000, and Li released his cards.

Alex Livingston is this event's reigning champion. Livingston topped an 844-strong field to capture his second bracelet and $390,621 in prize money. The mixed-game specialist was delighted to win a bracelet in a pot-limit Omaha tournament.

“I really do love all the games, like the 10-game, 9-game mix, and H.O.R.S.E. are my best formats, but it's really nice to win one in PLO because it's probably the game I’ve played the most hands in, and to get one done here really feels good.”
