Split Pot Eliminates Weinman

Level 9 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Daniel Weinman
Daniel Weinman

Stud Hi-Lo

A three-way pot found its way to showdown with Daniel Weinman all in against Timofey Kuznetsov and Daniel Negreanu.

Daniel Weinman: {x-}{x-} / {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Timofey Kuznetsov: {x-}{x-} / {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Daniel Negreanu: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Kuznetsov bet on fourth, fifth and sixth streets with Negreanu and Weinman calling down.

After Kuznetsov checked seventh street, Negreanu's bet was called by Weinman who only had 10,500 behind. A check-raise from Kuznetsov and re-raise from Negreanu put Weinman at risk after sliding in his last few chips. Kuznetsov called and showed {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades} to take the high pot, while Negreanu revealed {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to earn the low. Weinman mucked and was eliminated from the tournament.

Livingston Takes From Yockey

Level 9 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Action folded around to the blinds, where Bryce Yockey raised from the small. Alex Livingston three-bet from the big and, undeterred, Yockey made it four bets to go. Livingston flatted.

Yockey drew one and Livingston drew two. Livingston then called a bet from Yockey.

Both players drew one on the second draw and Yockey check-called a bet from Livingston.

Yockey drew one on the final draw and Livingston stood pat. Both players checked and Livingston tabled {10-}{8-}{6-}{4-}{2-}. Yockey couldn't beat it and mucked — sending the pot Livingston's way.

Dan Smith: {x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs} / {x-}

Dan Smith bet fifth when he made a pair of kings and Shaun Deeb raised, which Smith called. Smith then check-called the remaining two streets and Deeb announced aces up, flipping over the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Smith had the superior aces up as he tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.
