Hughes Takes a Big One on the Turn

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Jason Stockfish opened from the button. Next to act was Ryan Hughes, and he made it 34,000. Kenneth Fitzgerald called from the big blind, and Stockfish called the raise, as well.

On the {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop, action checked around, and the turn was the {5-Spades}. There, Hughes led out with a bet bet of 65,000. Fitzgerald quickly folded, and after thinking about it briefly, Stockfish followed suit and folded, as well. That allowed Hughes to take the big pot and become the chip leader at his table.

"A Fun One" For Andrew Kelsall

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,500 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

First to act, Andrew Kelsall raised to 16,000. Action folded to Jerry Wong, who called from the big blind.

Wong pitched in two.

"This is gonna be a fun one," Kelsall said.

"What? Four?" Wong asked.

Kelsall then pitched in one card. Wong checked, Kelsall bet 20,000, and Wong called.

Kelsall showed {J-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{2-}, and Wong mucked, allowing Kelsall to take the pot.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Ryan Hughes raised to 12,000, and Marco Johnson three-bet all in for 28,000 from the big blind. Hughes called.

Both players drew two on the first draw.

On the second draw, Johnson stood pat, and Hughes drew two.

On the final draw, Johnson stood pat again, and Hughes drew two again. The cards were turned over.

Johnson showed {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}, and Hughes mucked. He then turned {9-}{7-}{3-} face-up. He drew the {8-} and the {6-}, completing his useless nine-low.

"Save it for when you're live," said railbird David "ODB" Baker.

Jerry Wong Chips Up

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jerry Wong had slid to become one of the short stacks. In this hand, he defended his big blind when Ashton Griffin raised to 15,000 from the small blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, and Griffin bet 8,000. Wong called.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Wong called a bet of 12,500 — this time in position. The river was the {a-Clubs}, and both players checked.

"Ace-King," said Griffin, but Wong showed {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a flush and took down the pot.

Another Pot For Wong

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

First to act, Ashton Griffin raised to 14,000. He was called by Jerry Wong on the button and Jens Lakemeier in the big blind.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, and Lakemeier checked to Griffin. Griffin bet 16,000, and Wong called. Lakemeier folded. On the {J-Hearts} turn, both players checked, then checked again on the {3-Clubs} river. Griffin showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, and Wong showed {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a better straight to take the pot.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

On the first hand back from break, Ryan Hughes opened with a raise to 17,000. Action folded to Maco Johnson, who moved all in with a shorter stack. Before the dealer could finish counting, Hughes called.

Johnson stood pat.

"I have a straight, Hughes said, then took one.

Johnson showed {10-}{8-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for a ten-eight smooth, while Hughes had {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}. He needed a nine, three, or two to eliminate Johnson. His last card was a {3-} and that did it.

Johnson was eliminated in eighth place, collecting $12,390 for his efforts.

The final seven players are now redrawing for seats at the unofficial final table.
