"I believe you, you just gotta show it"

MarcC

Stud:

Raul Paez was involved early doors but he soon bailed leaving it to Phil Ivey and Yuval Bronshtein to battle it all the way down.

After sixth street, Ivey was showing {9-Hearts}

and Bronshtein {A-Clubs}

. Both players checked their final option and Bronshtein announced, "Full house."

"I believe you, you just gotta show it," responded Ivey.

Bronshtein showed his hidden {A-Diamonds}

to confirm his statement and scoop the pot. He's up to 119,000 now. Ivey falls a little to 110,000.

The Mouth On Hellmuth

[user46392]

Stud:

Showing {A-Diamonds}

up, Hellmuth bet out. Mark Gregorich, showing {3-Hearts}

, raised. Hellmuth, clearly furious, ripped out his iPod headphones and cursed most offensively and personally in a manner not reportable on Pokernews. "I might have to take you out for this," he warned, and threw his cards back to the dealer. Gregorich couldn't quite hide a little smirk as he raked the chips in.

Razzle Dazzle

MarcC

Razz:

Fifth street has just been dealt and Spencer Lawrence leads out for 3,000 with his board reading {J-Spades}

. Yuval Bronshtein is his opponent and he raises to 6,000 with a {5-Clubs}

board.

Lawrence makes the call and then receives {8-Hearts}

and Bronshtein get a {A-Spades}

. Lawrence leads out again and again get raised by his opponent. Once more he makes the call and the two players receive their last card face-down.

Lawrence check-calls this time but mucks when he sees Bronshtein's hole cards of {2-Diamonds}

.

That puts Bronshtein's stack up to 63,000 whereas Lawrence is down to 23,000.

Lawrence Takes One

MarcC

Omaha 8:

Phil Ivey's being aggressive in position, as you'd expect him to be. In this hand he raised from the button only to see Spencer Lawrence three-bet from the small blind. Ivey called before a {2-Clubs}

flop came down.

Lawrence bet and Ivey called so the turn came {9-Diamonds}

. This time Lawrence checked, then called a 6,000 Ivey bet.

The river came {A-Hearts}

and Lawrence led out for a 6,000 bet that Ivey called. Lawrence tabled {A-Diamonds}

and after some consideration of his hand Ivey mucked.

Hellmuth Again

[user46392]

Omaha 8:

I catch the very end of the hand, as a very pleased-looking Sherkhan Farnood is raking in the chips while simultaneously enjoying a massage, his hand face up in front of him reading {A-Diamonds}

and the board reading {8-Clubs}

. Phil Hellmuth is once again declaring him, "The worst player in the history of the world," and reluctantly throws his cards down; they are {3-Diamonds}

.

Now thoroughly furious, Hellmuth is demanding that TD Steve Frezer order the dealers to be more thorough with shuffling the cards. "It's just that he was dealing me some weird cards. I just want procedure to be followed."
