2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

Before the final draw, Ryan Hoenig was in the hijack and check-called a bet from Luke Schwartz on the button. Hoenig then drew one card, with Schwartz remaining pat behind.

Hoenig had just 33,000 left, which he kept when he check-folded to Schwartz's final bet.

No-Limit Hold'em

A couple of hands later, Hoenig was in the big blind in no-limit hold'em. Matt Glantz made it 22,000 in the cutoff, and Yuri Dzivielevski called in the small blind. Hoenig called off his last 8,000, after which Glantz and Dzivielevski checked through the J♦7♣9♥6♦2♦ board.

Dzivielevski showed 7♥5♥ for a pair, besting the Q♦10♠ of Glantz and the 6♣4♦ of Hoenig to send the latter to the rail.

Cary Katz was down to 1,000 after he played a huge pot against Dara Taherpour in 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw. Taherpour explained that he made a wheel, while Katz made #2 early in the hand, with each street seeing a series of raises.

No-Limit Hold'em

Katz put in his final chip from middle position before Taherpour made it 25,000 from the button. Eric Wasserson defended from the big blind.

Wasserson check-folded to a bet of 20,000 on the A♣8♦2♥ flop, and the cards were turned over.

Cary Katz: J♣10♦All in
Dara Taherpour: A♦J♥

Katz picked up some outs after pairing his ten on the 10♥ turn but was eliminated after the 8♠ river.

On the next deal, Taherpour opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and Bryn Kenney called from the big blind.

The 9♣8♦3♣ flop checked through to the 7♦ turn. Kenney bet 20,000 and was called. Kenney sized up to 30,000 on the 2♦ river and was met with a snap-call.

Kenney had Ax7x but Taherpour had gotten tricky with K♣K♠ to take another pot.

Miller tabled 8♠6♥5♥3♠2♦, which was good to take the pot, as Johnson quickly mucked.

2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

Four ways prior to the final draw, Bryce Yockey in the big blind bet and Roy Thung was the only caller as Ariel Mantel and Ray Dehkharghani both folded. Yockey patted versus one and then checked, Thung bet and was paid off very reluctantly. Thung announced an eighty-seven and flung his cards on the felt where the 8x7x3x2x only was exposed, the dealer then also revealed the 6x as well.

Yockey mucked and Thung earned the pot.

Mantel then raised and called a three-bet by Yockey. Mantel took one versus two and then called a bet by Yockey. Both discarded one after which Yockey check-called a bet and took one again on the final draw whereas Mantel patted. Yockey checked, Mantel bet and won the pot without a showdown as his opponent folded.

Gus Hansen

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between the small blind Chris Hunichen and the big blind Gus Hansen.

With the board showing K♠2♣A♠, Hunichen led out for a bet of 30,000, which Hansen called.

After the 3♥ on the turn, Hunichen check-called a bet of 56,000 from Hansen.

The river brought the 2♥ and Hunichen decided to retake the betting lead, firing out 175,000. This sent Hansen deep into the tank, clearly hating the spot as he agonized over the decision.

After several minutes, another player at the table called the clock on Hansen. Once the tournament director started the 30-second countdown, Hansen decided to muck his hand and give the pot to Hunichen.

Limit Hold'em

David "ODB" Baker raised from the hijack and called when Kristopher Tong raised from the small blind. Baker called bets on the flop, turn and river, but mucked his hand when Tong showed down Q♦Q♥ on the J♥3♠2♦10♠6♦ board.

On the next deal, Christopher Vitch limped in from the small blind, and then reraised after Jesse Lonis raised in the big blind. Lonis called. Lonis called a bet on the 9♥8♦3♣ flop but folded to a bet on the 2♠ turn.

Baker was back in action once more, raising from under the gun. Vitch three-bet from the button and Baker called. However, the 3♥3♦3♣ flop saw him check-fold to a bet.
