Chen Not Very Happy About Ohel's Flush

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Stud

Three-way to fifth street, Tommy Chen led out with eights up. Bryn Kenney laid down but Randy Ohel raised with his board showing a pair of sixes. Chen called.

Ohel bet sixth and seventh streets as well, and Chen quickly called on sixth by pausing for a moment before calling the river-bet.

Chen: {X-}{X-}{X-} / {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Ohel: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} / {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

"Flush," Ohel announced, rolling over his three hole cards, suited in hearts.

"You made a flush?" Chen asked. "Not very happy about that," he added before throwing his cards to the muck.

Parker Loses to Ramos; Doubles in the Next Hand

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Brock Parker
Brock Parker

Razz

Brock Parker completed with a {6-} out, earning a call from Felipe Ramos who had an {8-} exposed. Ramos bet out on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets with a nine-high board in front of him. Parker called first two bets but laid down on sixth, leaving himself with just over 21,000.

The next hand saw Parker complete again and he found three customers in Michael Mizrachi, Warwick Mirzikinian, and Phil Hellmuth.

Mirzikinian led out on fourth street with three-four out, forcing a fold from Hellmuth. Parker then raised it up, getting rid of Mizrachi, and Mirzikinian fired back so Parker ended up all in for his 16,400.

Parker: {6-}{8-} / {5-}{A-}{7-}{6-} / {7-}
Mirzikinian: {A-}{J-} / {3-}{4-}{Q-}{6-} / {K-}

Parker made eighty-seven on fifth street while Mirzikinian spiked a six on sixth, drawing live on the river. However, he peeled a king and Parker doubled up.

Mercier Rivers A Flush

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Jason Mercier

Pot Limit Omaha

With the board reading {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Spades}, Daniel Alaei checked. Ray Dehkharghani bet 7,000, Jason Mercier raised to 22,500, Alaei folded, and Dehkharghani tank-called.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and both players quickly checked.

"Ace-nine," said Dehkharghani, which prompted Mercier to turn over {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for the nut flush. Dehkharghani peeked a little longer at his hole cards, then flung them toward the dealer.

Wasserson Shocked

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Eric Wasserson bet from the small blind on {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and Jon Turner called. Wasserson bet the {2-Diamonds} turn and Turner raised. Wasserson called and the river was a {q-Spades}. Wasserson check-called a bet and Turner showed {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for quads. Wasserson shot out of his chair and looked at his hand. If it was a one-outer, he didn't show it, as he mucked before sitting back down.

Galfond Rivers a Set

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Phil Galfond
Phil Galfond

Pot-Limit Omaha

Phil Galfond called 5,000 from the small blind, a price set by button Roy Thung.

Galfond then check-called another 8,000 on the {7-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop before they checked the {J-Diamonds} turn.

The {3-Clubs} hit the river and Galfond thought for a moment before figuring out his bet-sizing. He made it 19,000.

Thung was tempted and eventually pushed the call button to see Galfond's cards.

"Set," Galfond announced, rolling over {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a rivered set. Thung sent his cards to the muck.

2-7 Triple Draw

David Oppenheim (big blind) and John Monnette (under the gun) each put two bets in after the first draw and then took a card apiece. Oppenheim bet and Monnette called. Both players patted and Oppenheim bet again. Monnette again called and tabled what looked like an eight-perfect, but he quickly mucked it when shown {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}.

No-Limit Hold'em

In the next hand, Monnette was big blind and put in his last 7,900 after Mike Wattel raised cutoff.

Monnette: {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Wattel: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Monnette grabbed his belongings and headed for the exit.

Thung Doubles With Kings Against Aces

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

The cards were up by the time we arrived and the dealer was ready to reveal the board. Roy Thung was all in, facing elimination in a contest against Michael Glick.

Thung: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Glick: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Thung was trailing Glick's aces, but the {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} board gave him a straight and a double.

Chen Clashes With Martin, Receives One-Round Penalty

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Jesse Martin
Jesse Martin

Pot-Limit Omaha

There was big consternation over at Table 726 where Tommy Chen had moved all in. The board was reading {Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Jesse Martin had 67,000 in front of him. Chen had shoved for 126,500 and had exposed his hand before Martin had called off the extra chips.

Although the odds were great, Martin had not called yet, and, as Chen had exposed {Q-}{Q-}{X-}{X-} for the nuts, he tried to figure out if it was worth the call. Both players got in a heated argument and verbally traded insults while Martin was deciding on a call, which resulted in the floor staff coming over to calm things down.

Eventually, Martin folded his hand and Chen received a one-round penalty for exposing his cards prematurely.
