Bohlman Gets His Eight-Perfect Paid

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw:

Scott Bohlman raised from under the gun, and Vladimir Shchemelev three-bet from the button. Bohlman called and drew two, while Shchemelev drew one.

The action went check-check, and Bohlman stood pat. Shchemelev drew one again.

Bohlman instantly bet, and Shchemelev called. One more time, he drew one.

Bohlman bet again, and Shchemelev called, only to see Bolman show {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for a perfect eight. Shchemelev mucked, leaving a huge pot to Bohlman, whose already-tall piles of chips grew even taller.

Naoya Kihara Triples Up

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better:

Kihara: {x-}{x-} / {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} / {x-}
Shchemelev: {x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Spades} / {x-}
Celikovsky: {x-}{x-} / {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts} / {x-}

Naoya Kihara was getting short and bet on fourth and fifth street. As sixth street was being dealt, Scott Bohlman joined the table, and wished Kihara luck as he bet his last 3,400. Both opponents called.

The remaining two players checked seventh street. Kihara showed {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} for buried aces.

"One pair," said Kihara before sweating his final card. "Do I improve?" he showed a {7-Hearts}.

Both players shook their heads and tabled their hands; Shchemelev with {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Celikovsky {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Spades} and Kihara tripled up.

"Remember me on the podium!" said Bohlman, as Kihara stacked his chips.

Tilly Busts With a Top Set to Viriyayuthakorn's Wheel

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Jason Viriyayuthakorn
Jason Viriyayuthakorn

Omaha 8 or Better:

Jennifer Tilly's 8-Game run is now over. Clifford Ziff (button) and Jason Viriyayuthakorn (big blind) were against Tilly (cutoff) in her final hand, and the two tangled for a side pot.

Viriyayuthakorn bet on the {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop and Ziff fired back with a raise. Viriyayuthakorn matched the bid and they continued on the turn.

Viriyayuthakorn led the {3-Hearts} once again and Ziff just called this time.

A third barrel and a call followed on a blank river, which didn't help any of the players improve their hand as Viriyayuthakorn turned over {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{4-Spades}{K-Hearts} for a turned wheel to scoop the pot. Ziff flashed his {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{X-}{X-} in frustration and Tilly opened {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a top set before walking to the payout cage.

That hand saw Ziff drop down to his last 12,400 while Viriyayuthakorn soared over 100,000.

Fuchs Triples; Eliminates Levi

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em:

Carol Fuchs open-shoved 5,100 from the hijack and small blind David Levi contemplated for a bit before calling for his last 4,200. Mike Watson called from the big blind, putting both of his opponents at risk.

Levi: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Fuchs: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Watson: {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

The board ran {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and while Levi called for a chop on the turn, he didn't get one. Fuchs' pocket tens held strong. Fuchs scored a triple while Levi said his goodbyes.

Grafton Eliminated by Freund

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud:

Alexander Freund completed with the {7-Diamonds} and Sam Grafton three-bet with the {3-Spades}. Freund called and then led the fourth street. Grafton called, leaving himself only 300 behind. The remaining chips wento into the middle on the fifth street.

Sam Grafton: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} / {3-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} / {J-Hearts}
Alexander Freund: {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} / {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} / {6-Diamonds}

Grafton was in good shape on the fifth street but Freund eventually improved to a ten-high straight, sending Grafton to the rail. The English chatty player offered an obligatory "good luck" before adding, "Good luck, Stevie," towards his fellow countryman Stephen Chidwick who was also at that table.
