Level 15 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

"Collect all the swirly-colored chips!" Scott Abrams shouted at Mark Gregorich from the rail. "I don't know how much they're worth, but I'm sure there is a lot of zeros on them!"

"Scott, how much to have you on my rail?" Shaun Deeb asked. "Whose rail are you on right now?"

"Mark Gregorich," Abrams said.

"How much to have you on my rail?" Deeb asked again.

"$100," Abrams said.

"Book it," Deeb said.

"Wait did you agree?" Abrams asked.

"Yes," responded Deeb. "Get over here." The table started laughing. "His lines are amazing," Deeb added. "He's the best!"

Abrams gathered his bag and moved over to Deeb's side of the rail.

Richey Over Seiver

Level 15 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Stud

Brett Richey bet fifth street after catching an ace against Scott Seiver, but that didn't faze Seiver, as he popped in a raise. Richey called and then paired tens, taking the lead again.

Seiver: {x-}{x-}/{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Richey: {x-}{x-}/{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Seiver splashed in a call and then both players checked seventh. Richey showed the {10-Hearts} along with {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, and Seiver nodded in disgust, unable to beat the trips.

Capped Pot to Volpe Without Showdown

Level 15 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

In a pot that got capped pre-draw, according to Daniel Negreanu, Gary Benson had the betting lead and fired every round, staying pat while Talal Shakerchi and Paul Volpe kept drawing one apiece. On the last betting round, Benson's bet in the cutoff was raised by Volpe, who was on the button. Shakerchi mucked, and Benson smiled and thought things over for about a minute before he folded.

Volpe said he had {2-}{3-}{4-}{5-} and squeezed out a three-sider, meaning he was a favorite to have either the nuts or an eight-perfect. Shakerchi said he threw away a made eight-six.

2-7 Triple Draw

Gary Benson opened with a raise on the button. Paul Volpe made it two bets from the small blind. Benson called, and both players took one on the first draw. Volpe then led out, and Benson called.

Volpe stood pat, and Benson took one again. Volpe then bet, and Benson called.

On the last draw, Volpe stood pat again. Benson took one more card. Volpe then bet, and Benson instantly mucked his hand.

"Paul Volpe, ladies and gentlemen," Aaron Katz said at the table. "The deuce-to-seven man. He's four for four."

Volpe stayed quiet and took in the pot. Meanwhile, on an outer table, Phil Galfond was eliminated.

Omaha Hi-Lo

On a flop of {7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} Matthew Ashton led out with a bet. Ian Johns called, and the two went to the {4-Spades} on the turn. Ashton bet again, but this time, Johns raised, making it two bets. Ashton called, then checked on the {3-Spades} river. Johns bet one more time, and Ashton thought for about 30 seconds before calling.

Johns showed {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for two pair and the nut low, and Ashton nodded his head and tossed his cards towards the muck.
