Stud Hi-Lo

Johannes Becker was all in against Greg Mueller on third street. Each player's boards ran out as follows:

Becker: {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} / {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds} / {K-Diamonds}
Mueller: {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} / {6-Diamonds}

With Mueller making a low and a pair, Becker would be unable to match it, and was consequently eliminated from the tournament.

Level 9 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

After his antics in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E., Iraj Parvizi is still in midway through Day 2 of the $50,000 Poker Player's Championship. In this hand, he was heads up blind versus blind with Aaron Ogus in the big blind.

The flop was {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Ogus bet. Parvizi raised, Ogus reraised, and Parvizi called.

The turn was the {q-Clubs}. Ogus quickly bet and Parvizi called even quicker.

The river was the {10-Hearts} and Ogus bet. Parvizi called again. Ogus turned over {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a pair of sevens, while Parvizi craned his neck to see his opponent's holdings before turning over {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jared Bleznick limped the button for 2,400, and Benny Glaser raised pot from the small blind to 9,600. Bleznick called, and the dealer spread a {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop.

Glaser continued for 14,000 and Bleznick called as the turn landed the {Q-Diamonds}.

Glaser bet 40,000, and Bleznick took several minutes before he called.

The river landed the {8-Clubs}, and Glaser bet out 125,000. Bleznick called rather quickly, and Glaser tabled his {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks.

Bleznick quickly fanned his {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} for a set of eights, and the dealer pushed him the pot.
