Razz

Bryce Yockey brought it in with the {10-}, and John Esposito completed with the {2-}. Josh Arieh made it two bets with the {a-}, Yockey called off his remaining 200,000, and Esposito called. Esposito folded to a bet from Arieh on fourth street when Esposito caught a {k-} and Arieh a {4-}.

Bryce Yockey: {10-}{k-}{5-}{8-} / {6-}{5-}{4-}
Josh Arieh: {a-}{4-}{q-}{10-} / {9-}{7-}{4-}

After seventh street, the players fully revealed their hands, and Yockey's ten-eight was good enough to double through Arieh's ten-nine.

Level 24 : 150,000/300,000, 0 ante

Yockey: {5-}{a-} / {q-}{8-}{q-}{k-} / {10-}
Arieh: {2-}{4-} / {6-}{k-}{10-}{10-} / {k-}

Hui Quartered by Arieh

Level 24 : 150,000/300,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Josh Arieh raised on the button and Phil Hui called in the big blind.

Hui led out on {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Arieh called.

Hui slowed down on the {k-Clubs} turn and checked. Arieh bet and Hui called.

The {5-Spades} river filled the low draw and Hui bet again, getting a call from Arieh.

Both players had the nut low but Arieh took three-quarters of his pot thanks to a pair of deuces with {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} while Hui played only ace-high for the high, showing {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Bryce Yockey raised under the gun and Josh Arieh defended his big blind to see a {2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop. Arieh led out, Yockey called, and the {9-Clubs} appeared on the turn.

Arieh bet again and called when Yockey raised all in for 385,000 total.

Yockey: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Arieh: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Arieh was ahead with a pair of kings while Yockey had the best low draw along with a heart flush draw. The {9-Hearts} river completed that flush and Yockey shipped the much-needed double.
