Thorpe Snaps a Picture

Level 17

Pot-Limit Omaha

"Hold on, let me take a picture in case I die," an all-in Mike Thorpe said as he was heads-up against Frank Muir.

Thorpe was all in for around 35,000 on the turn with the board showing 2Q3K and had QQA10 for a Broadway straight. Muir turned over 6457 for a straight draw.

The river came the J and Thorpe doubled up.

"Just a queen would've been good," a tablemate told Thorpe.

"I didn't know that. PLO is my absolute worst game," Thorpe responded.

Laval Picks off Kost's Bluff

Level 17

Limit Hold 'em

Philippe Laval raised on the button and got a call from Nick Kost in the big blind.

On the 23J flop, Kost check-called a bet from Laval to see the 2 on the turn.

The players checked to the 7 river and Kost quickly fired out a bet. Laval thought very briefly and then made the call.

Kost tossed 108 onto the table for ten-high, while Laval showed AQ for a winning ace-high.

Le Raises Big on Jett

Level 17

Pot-Limit Omaha

Heads-up on a board of 54Q7, Chip Jett bet 30,000 from the big blind as action went on Allan Le on the button.

Le announced pot for 132,000 and Jett, with around 100,000 remaining, tanked for a moment before folding.

"Show the bluff," tablemate Shaun Deeb told Le following the hand.

"Can't. Too many good cards," Le responded.

Brown Flops the Wheel

Level 17

Pot-Limit Omaha

Daniel Blum raised to 6,000 from under the gun and Andrew Brown called in the cutoff.

The flop came 245 and Blum checked over to Brown, who potted for 17,000. Blum now pushed forward a tower of chips to put Brown all in, and Brown called for his last 48,000.

Andrew Brown: A3310
Daniel Blum: AA87

Blum had aces, but Brown had flopped the wheel and was a big favorite to double up. The board ran out 52 and Brown stayed in front to secure the pot.

Level 17
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Bets were in front of Allen Kessler and Thor William Morstoel with a completed board of 648KA.

Kessler was in early position and called a river bet from Morstoel, but he wasn't happy about it.

Morstoel showed AK53 for top two pair and a six-five low.

Kessler bemoaned his bad fortune, showing A2, with his nut low counterfeited on the river by Morstoel, who ended up scooping the pot away from the "Chainsaw"
