Wataru Kosugi

Seven Card Stud

Matt Vengrin: XxXx/Q - folded on fourth street
James Obst: QQ10/8K5A
Wataru Kosugi: K53/79K2
Cary Katz: XxXx/37J - folded on fifth street

Matt Vengrin completed, James Obst two-bet, and Wataru Kosugi and Cary Katz called cold. Vengrin then folded, seeing Obst bet on fourth street. Kosugi and Katz both called to fifth street, which they checked to Obst.

Obst kept firing, folding out Katz. Kosugi called again, however, and called Obst's bets on sixth and seventh street as well to reach showdown.

Obst showed a pair of queens, but it was outclassed by Kosugi's flush to lose the sizable pot.

Taylor Gets Three-Quarters to Survive

Level 12

Omaha Hi-Lo

Esther Taylor was all in from the big blind as Dzmitry Urbanovich in the small blind and Austin Srur on the button went to a flop of 523 with around 50,000 in the pot.

Taylor allowed the players not in the hand to sweat out her cards as Urbanovich led out with a bet. Srur called, and the turn was the K.

Urbanovich checked to Srur, then folded to a bet. Srur turned over A1064 for a flopped straight, while Taylor had A743. The 6 river gave Taylor the nut flush, while they had the same low as Taylor took three-quarters.

"Good sweat, boys," Taylor said.

Holley Gets Chopped

Level 12
John Holley
John Holley

Omaha Hi-Lo

John Holley was all in under the gun on a 5J6 flop, being up against Peter De Best and Chino Rheem in the blinds. Rheem was very short, and his final bet was committed on the 7 turn as well.

John Holley: KQJ8 All in
Chino Rheem: 7552 All in
Peter De Best: AK92

The river came a meaningless J, improving Rheem to a full house to take the high. Holley's nut low took the other half, and Holley was eliminated.

"Oh no," Light said after Glantz turned over top pair. Light was on a straight draw, and he hit it on the 9 turn.
