Benson Crawling Back Up

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Razz

Volpe: {X-}{X-} / {A-}{2-}{9-}{6-} / {X-}
Benson: {X-}{X-} / {7-}{2-}{3-}{6-} / {X-}

Gary Benson was down to 40,000 earlier, but has found the way up and currently sits at 390,000. Benson got some of those chips from Paul Volpe in Razz.

Action was picked up from fifth street, with Benson leading and Volpe calling. Benson and Volpe did the same on sixth and seventh street.

Benson showed {4-}{A-}{X-} for a monstrous six-perfect, and Volpe mucked.

No-Limit Hold'em

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier got the last of his chips in preflop with {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} and was put at risk by David Oppenheim, who had {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, giving the Frenchman trips that were no good against a boat.

Matusow Checks Back His Full Boat

Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Mike Matusow

Limit Hold'em

Jason Mercier three-bet from the small blind over Mike Matusow's raise from the cutoff. Matusow called to have a look at the flop.

Mercier continued when the {2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} hit the felt, and Matusow called again.

The turn was the {A-Clubs} and Mercier slowed down with a check, calling Matusow's bet.

No bets were made on the {Q-Clubs} river as Matusow had thought out loud. "I put you on kings or queens," he said before checking back.

The showdown was shocking for all players at the table as Matusow tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a flopped full house.

Daniel Alaei started laughing while others were wondering why Matusow didn't bet.

"That flop was good for me, I'm not gonna lie," Matusow said before adding: "But that ace and queen..."

Pot-Limit Omaha

Daniel Negreanu was already all in when we got to his table, with {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} on the board. Isaac Haxton in the big blind and Harry Madoff in the cutoff had built a side pot of about 75,000, and the {5-Hearts} fell on the river. Haxton bet 85,000, and Madoff shook his head but called after about 30 seconds.

"King-high flush," Haxton said, showing {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

It was no good, as Madoff held {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for the nut flush.

"I'll take the middle," Negreanu piped in, showing {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades} for sixes full of nines.

The showdown was much to the delight of the rail.
