Shchemelev Zeroed by Couden

Jan_Kores

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha:

On the river of a board, big blind Vladimir Shchemelev checked to Joseph Couden, his next-door neighbor on the left. Couden bet a pile of yellow chips worth 1,000 apiece, making it about 20,000.

Shchemelev moved all in, which was about the same amount as the bet. Couden didn't even bother with the precise counts, and without saying, "Call," opened to knock out Shchemelev with a straight. Shchemelev mucked, and while the dealer turned over his cards for a moment, it didn't matter at that point.

Deeb Finds a Call, Wins Big

Jan_Kores

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Razz:

Shaun Deeb, Wendy Freedman, and Matt Grapenthien all made it to the seventh street. Deeb bet both fourth and fifth streets, and Freedman bet sixth. Deeb bet seventh street, and Freedman called. Grapenthien, however, woke up with a raise this time, and that wasn't exactly what Deeb wished for. He shook his head, saying the f-word a couple of times, indicating he had a tough call to make. He eventually did call, and Freedman folded.

Grapenthien didn't need to show his hand, as Deeb opened / / for the winner. "That would be a perfect slowroll for you to make," Deeb joked with Grapenthien, who couldn't oblige.

Shaun Deeb	175,000 75,000	75,000

Matt Grapenthien	35,000 1,700	1,700

Luneau Flushes Serock

Jan_Kores

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud:

With the action on the sixth street of a juicy pot, Alex Luneau raised over Joe Serock's bet. Serock called, then checked-called Luneau's bet on the seventh street. Luneau announced a flush, and he, indeed, had two clubs in the hole. Serock mucked his hand, losing a decent chunk to the Frenchman.

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better:

Dustin Sitar raised from the button, and Naoya Kihara moved all in for 1,100 more in the big blind. Sitar called.

Sitar:
Kihara:

"I'm not in bad shape," Kihara said, studying his opponent's hand.

He was in even better shape after the flop came , giving him quads. The turn and river didn't matter, and Kihara scooped and double-up.

Chidwick Makes a Seventy-Six to Score a Near-Triple

Jan_Kores

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw:

Christopher Vitch raised from under the gun, and small blind Stephen Chidwick reraised. Zachary Richards joined from the big blind, and Vitch called, too.

All players drew two, and Chidwick led with a bet. Richards called, and Vitch raised. Chidwick three-bet, which was more than Richards had in total. Richards called all in for his 5,000 (two bets), and Vitch called Chidwick's three-bet.

Chidwick patted, and Vitch drew one. Chidwick then shoved for his remaining 2,400. Vitch called, drawing one again, albeit having a bad feeling about his chances: "I might be drawing dead," he said.

Chidwick turned over for the second nuts, and neither Vitch nor Richards could beat him. Vitch dropped a chunk of his big stack, while Richards departed.
