Niveau 9

Omaha Hi-Lo

On a board of 8♠4♥3♠J♥Q♣, Bryce Yockey was all-in and earned one quarter of the pot with the A♥10♥4♣2♥ for a pair of fours and the nut low. Kristopher Tong earned three quarters with A♣J♦5♣2♣ for the superior pair and same nut low, leaving Yockey on a very short stack.

One hand later, Tong earned the full pot in a medium-sized pot versus Daniel Alaei with A♥A♦Q♦5♦ on a board of K♣Q♠7♠4♠8♥.

Alaei and Yockey then tangled in a heads-up pot when Alaei bet the A♥9♦7♥ flop and called a raise by Yockey. They checked the Q♦ turn and Alaei check-called the J♥ river. Yockey tabled his K♠10♠3♥2♥ for a flush and won the pot.

One table over, Keith Lehr was down to even fewer chips than Yockey and bowed out moments later.

No-Limit Hold'em

On a three-way turn of 10♠8♠8♣4♥, Ray Dehkharghani bet 34,000 out of the small blind. Hal Rotholz raised to 75,000 and Cary Katz folded from under the gun.

"How much do you have behind?" Dehkharghani inquired as he leaned to the side and peeked at the stack of Rotholz on the other side of the dealer and table without vaulting out of his chair. Dehkharghani then called and both players checked the 7♣ on the river.

Dehkharghani tabled his K♣10♣ and Rotholz mucked the Q♣10♦ for the slightly inferior kicker.

No-Limit Hold 'em

Picking action up on the flop with the board reading 4♣2♠3♥, Phil Hellmuth checked in the big blind to Ben Yu on the button who bet 7,000.

Hellmuth snap check-raised to 28,000, which gave Yu some pause, but he made the call.

The players checked the J♦ turn, but on the K♠ river, Hellmuth bet 62,000.

Yu thought for over a minute before making the call to which Hellmuth replied, "nice call."

It indeed was a nice call, as after Hellmuth revealed his 9♦5♦ for a missed straight draw, Yu showed A♦7♠ for ace-high, which was good.

"That's the best call anyone's made against me all summer," complimented Hellmuth.

After the hand, Hellmuth's table was broken, leading Hellmuth to further say, "you can't break the table when he's calling me with ace-high. I just need a couple more hours with him."
