Glantz Picks One Up

Level 23

Hand #24

Owais Ahmed had the button, Phil Hellmuth opened to 175,000 from the cutoff and took down the pot. He tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

Hand #25

Scott Seiver had the button, Brian Rast opened to 125,000 from under the gun, and Matt Glantz defended his big blind. The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and both players checked.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, and Glantz led for 150,000. Rast called.

The river was the {3-Hearts}, Glantz led again - this time for 275,000 - and Rast called. Glantz tabled {j-Spades}{8-Spades} for eights and threes, Rast mucked, and Glantz won the hand.
