Buchalter Collects Owen's Crumbs

Level 8

Razz

Brad Owen: 9x4x/3x6xQx3x/9xAll in
Yehuda Buchalter: 6xAx/5x3x2x5x/Qx

Brad Owen was already all in and at risk on third street against Yehuda Buchalter, and the cards were face up.

Buchalter's runout left him best with a six against Owen's queen for the elimination, but Owen wasted little time reentering for a fresh stack of 150,000.

Ryutaro Suzuki

Seven Card Stud

Jiyang Gan: XxXx/A8710/Xx
Ryutaro Suzuki: J1010/Q393
Tomasz Gluszko: XxXx/K665/Xx - folded on seventh street
James Joiner: XxXx/492 - folded on fifth street

Four-way to fourth street, it checked to Tomasz Gluszko, who bet. James Joiner, Jiyang Gan, and Ryutaro Suzuki all called, seeing Gluszko pair up on fifth street.

He bet again, prompting Joiner to fold. Gan and Suzuki still stuck around with calls, after which the trio checked through sixth street.

Seventh street was also checked to Suzuki, who tossed in a bet. Gluszko went deep into the tank before he folded, but Gan looked his opponent up with a call.

Suzuki tabled tens-up, causing Gluszko to throw his arms in the air in frustration, claiming he had folded better. Gan, meanwhile, could not beat it, and he mucked his cards to concede the pot to Suzuki.

Morris Rolled Up as He Ascends Up the Counts

Level 8

Stud Hi-Lo

Action picked up on fifth street with just over 100,000 in the middle already as Luke Schwartz, Arthur Morris, and Ryan Miller had inflated the pot.

Luke Schwartz: XxXx / K8A - folded on fifth street
Arthur Morris: XxXx / 610Q5 / Xx
Ryan Miller: XxXx / 2882 / Xx

Miller led with open eights, Schwartz called and Morris raised. Miller then three-bet, Schwartz tank-folded, Morris made it four bets, and Miller called.

Sixth street would check through after Miller made open two pair, and Morris also elected to check back on seventh. Miller pointed to his board showing he made no improvement, prompting Morris to flip over 66K in the hole as he was rolled up to start the hand and had the winner.

"I thought we were playing Stud Hi," Schwartz admitted, while tablemate Shaun Deeb ridiculed Morris for not betting sixth street. Morris had the last laugh, however, as he becomes one of the largest stacks in the room, while Deeb sits on half a starting stack on bullet two.
