Gorodinsky Hates the River

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Three players saw an {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Spades} flop and the first two checked to Mike Gorodinsky in the cutoff. He bet and only Josh Arieh, on his right, called. Arieh check-called the {k-Diamonds} but then bet out on the {5-Spades} river.

Gorodinsky growled in frustration but forcefully placed in a chip about 30 seconds later. Arieh showed {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} for a rivered flush and took the pot.

Bonomo Gets a Little From Ivey

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Justin Bonomo raised from the small blind, and Phil Ivey called in the big blind.

Bonomo drew one to Ivey's three, and Bonomo bet. Ivey casually flicked out a call.

Bonomo patted and had a bet out in front of him before Ivey's two cards had been dealt to him. Ivey peeked at his new holdings, then folded.

"Jungleman" Sinking

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Daniel Cates
Daniel Cates

Stud

John Esposito bet sixth and seventh sporting a paired board against Dan Cates, who raised on the end.

John Esposito: {x-}{x-}/{7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}/{x-}
Dan Cates: {x-}{x-}/{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}/{x-}

Esposito thought awhile and flicked in a calling chip. Cates announced a straight and showed {10-}{8-} but Esposito had it beat with {7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for sevens full. After the hand, Esposito said he had check-raised earlier in the hand and bet the remaining streets, only for Cates to pop him on the river.

"What were you thinking?" someone asked Cates.

"I was thinking there was an ace dead and he probably didn't have a full house," Cates responded.
