Marchington Out of Here

Level 7
Nicholas Marchington
Nicholas Marchington

Omaha Hi-Lo

Nicholas Marchington committed his last chips on the 6AJ flop from the big blind, and a side pot of 14,000 was brewing between Nick Pupillo in the small blind and Jiyang Gan in the cutoff.

Pupillo then check-called Gan's bets on the 9 turn and 8 river to reach showdown. Gan showed AK97 for aces and nines. Pupillo had the nut low with K322, meaning Marchington's chips were chopped as he had AKQ6 for a lower two pair.

Yoo'n Gonna Need a Life Jacket

Level 7

Stud Hi-Lo

Action picked up on fifth as both Brian Yoon and Jason Mercier had 8,000 in front of them after two bets went in on fourth, with 44,000 in the middle after the other participants in the hand had bowed out already.

Brian Yoon: XxXx / 5485 / Xx
Jason Mercier: XxXx / 4299 / Xx

Mercier check-called a bet from Yoon on fifth, and he did the same on sixth street.

On seventh, Mercier check-called a final bet from Yoon, who tabled A54 in the hole for full house, fives full of fours, which was enough for the scoop as Mercier did not make a low, and a substantial pot flowed towards Yoon's boat.

Rheem Leaves Two Short

Level 7

Razz

Allen Kessler: 8x7x3x/8xAx9xJx
Chino Rheem: 6xAxXx/9x5xJx8x
Frank Brannan: XxXx/Ax7xQx2x/Xx

Allen Kessler bet on fifth street, and Chino Rheem and Frank Brannan both called. The trio went on to check through sixth and seventh street.

Rheem announced a nine-low at showdown, prompting Brannan to muck his cards.

"I already had a nine," Kessler, who had not looked at his last card yet, said.

He then peeled a pair, leaving him with a worse nine and sending the pot Rheem's way.

Weisman Scoops Fishman in Battle of Man

Level 7

Omaha Hi-Lo

Dylan Weisman raised from the cutoff and only Ray Fishman was man enough to see a flop from the big blind.

On the 1093 flop, Fishman check-called a bet from Weisman.

Fishman would check-call again on both the 4 turn and 9 river. Weisman tabled AA53, and his aces-up with second nut low was good enough for the scoop as Fishman mucked.

Milgrom Falls to Foxen

Level 7

Seven Card Stud

Alex Foxen completed in early position and was called by only Nicolas Milgrom.

Nicolas Milgrom: J8 / 96Q6 / Xx All in
Alex Foxen: A6 / 838K / Xx

Milgrom check-called on fourth street. Foxen then made open eights on fifth and Milgrom stuck around after a small tank with less than a bet behind.

On sixth, Foxen asked for the rest and Milgrom called all in for his final 7,000 after making open sixes.

Milgrom was behind the eights of Foxen, who flipped over the 10 on the end for no improvement. Milgrom needed to find two pair, a trips, or hit his gutter, but the last card was the 5, and he was eliminated.

Kupin Back to Start

Level 7

Limit Hold'em

Eli Elezra raised in middle position and called when Aaron Kupin put in a third bet from the hijack. Elezra check-called Kupin's bets on the AK8 flop and 5 turn.

Kupin bet again on the 9 river. Elezra thought for a bit, then decided to check-fold and concede the pot.
