Niveau 16

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Josh Arieh opened from the small blind and was called by Maxx Coleman in the big blind.

Arieh bet following the 7♠7♦6♠ flop and received a call.

There would be no slowing down for Arieh on the 8♠ turn as he fired off another bet. Again, Coleman called.

Arieh bet one last time after the 3♠ river completed the board. Coleman quickly called and turned over K♣9♦7♣3♥ for the boat but Arieh also held 7♥3♦ to match Coleman's high hand. The low pot, however, went entirely to Arieh as he also held 10♦2♦ to rake in three quarters of the pot.

No-Limit Hold'em

Phil Hellmuth raised to 35,000 from early position but received no callers.

In the next hand, Hellmuth limped in from early position and the action folded around to Phil Ivey in the small blind, who put in a raise to 70,000.

"You have two eights?" asked Hellmuth.

"I have two tens," Hellmuth commented before turning over 10♦10♠ while folding to Ivey's raise.

The next hand saw Hellmuth in the big blind. Ray Dehkharghani limped in from the small blind and Hellmuth checked his option. Dehkharghani check-folded to a 35,000 bet from Hellmuth on a 2♦2♠4♠ flop.

In the subsequent hand, Hellmuth called a late position raise from Phil Ivey for 35,000, then check-folded to a 35,000 bet on 10♦2♠2♥.

The 5♦ on the river was checked and Shakerchi's J♣J♥ won the pot.
