Lopez Chops After the Bubble

zedmaster84

Niveau 19

Badeucey

Most of the chips of Daniel Lopez were already in the middle when he bet his last 7,500 after the final draw. Dominick Sarle called and tabled his 5♠ / 6♥4♣A♠ for a three-card dugi and received the Q♣ as his final card.

"Do you have a Badugi?" he inquired and Lopez shook his head as the 5♥4♥ / 7♦3♠2♥ only scooped half the pot with a seventy-five.

Hellmuth Increases Stack Further

Niveau 19

Stud 8 or better

Christopher Lindner: XxXx / 5♣10♦10♥ folded on fifth street
Phil Hellmuth: A♣K♣4♥

"I take this one, you take the next one," Phil Hellmuth said after he raised a bet by Christopher Lindner on fifth street. His opponent tossed his cards into the muck after some deliberation and table chatter broke out after. Kristan Lord had apparently also been in the hand and mentioned he had a pair of aces.

"I could have three kings," Hellmuth responded after he raked in the pot.

With the boards already mashed, Andrew Park got out of his chair with a 10x7x7xAx8x2x exposed. Matt Vengrin showed his cards and declared an eight perfect, which ended up as the winning hand and sending Park to the payout desk.

Hui Eliminated by Balas

Niveau 19

Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Picking action up on the flop, Phil Hui was all in for his last 29,000 on the button with the board reading 4♦4♣J♥.

Dekel Balas bet from the small blind which got a fold from Marco Johnson in the big blind to leave the pot heads-up.

Phil Hui: J♠9♣7♣6♠
Dekel Balas: A♣5♣4♠3♠

Hui's jacks and fours needed help against Balas' trip fours, but after the board ran out 2♦2♣, no help came for the three-time bracelet winner and he became the latest post-bubble bustout.

Smith Felted by Kelley

Niveau 19

Badeucey

In a duel small blind versus button, a raising war broke out upon completion of the first draw. Dylan Smith had discarded two while Gregory Kelley took one. Smith bet, Kelley raised and then called the all-in of Smith for another 3,500 more on top.

Smith took one new card each on the final two draws while Kelley patted and the latter then exposed his 6♦ / 7♠5♦3♣2♥ for a seven-seven. Smith briefly showed his 8♥ / 8♦6♠3♥2♣ for an eight-eight and that spelled the end for him.

Niveau 19

Badacey

Upon completion of the final draw, Michael Noori bet and that sent Matt Vengrin into the tank. He carefully checked his stack and the bets he had behind. "I'll probably just gonna fold ... you have to have it?!" he said in table chat.

Vengrin then folded half a minute later and Noori exposed the 6♦ / 7♠5♣3♥2♦ before scooping the pot. The table broke right after as the field was down to just 54 players.
