Bilodeau Doubles Through Doshi

Mike Patrick

Level 20

No-Limit Hold 'em

Denis Bilodeau moved all in under the gun for a bit under 150,000 and after getting a count from the dealer, Paresh Doshi made the call from the big blind.

Denis Bilodeau: A♣Q♥
Paresh Doshi: J♣J♥

The flop came 2♣Q♣K♣, pairing Bilodeau's queen to give him the lead. He also had the better flush draw, so Doshi was down to two outs.

The 5♣ on the turn cinched the hand and the double-up for Bilodeau with the flush, making the K♥ on the river irrelevant.

Denis Bilodeau	290,000 272,700	272,700
Paresh Doshi	120,000 -60,000	-60,000

2-7 Triple Draw

Darren Shebell was all in after the second draw and up against Marc Berman. Shebell took one while Berman stood pat.

Berman turned over 9x7x5x4x2x and Shebell showed a jack before collecting his payout slip. "You had a lot of outs. You were drawing to the wheel," a tablemate told him.

After Shebell had departed, his former tablemates raised their drinks in his honor and toasted him.

In a hand also involving Phil Hellmuth, Bradley Jansen bet on sixth street and was called by Shaun Deeb, while Hellmuth sighed and folded his board.

Jansen bet again on seventh. "You know what I have, right," Deeb told Jansen as he tanked for several minutes. Deeb eventually looked back at his three down cards one last time and slid them into the muck as Jansen took the pot.

2-7 Triple Draw

Ryutaro Suzuki drew one and bet after the first draw as Andrew Hamm took three and called.

Both players drew one and Suzuki bet the first of his chips. Hamm called and they both took one more on the last draw.

Suzuki turned over 8x4x5x2x. "Did you make it," Hamm asked as Suzuki squeezed his last card, which turned out to be the Qx.

Hamm had 7x6x2x9x but looked down at an Ax and flung it across the table as Suzuki doubled up.

Level 19

Stud Hi-Lo

John Holley: XxXx/8♥10♠9♥7♠/Xx
Nick Schulman: XxXx/7♦K♣K♦8♣/Xx

Nick Schulman bet on third, fourth, and fifth streets as John Holley stuck around with calls.

Schulman checked on sixth and Holley fired out a bet as the dealer went to give each player their last card before Schulman pointed out he hadn't acted yet.

"Sorry. I was listening to music. I'm still hurting from all those bad beats you gave me. You beat me in the $10K H.O.R.S.E. a hundred years ago," Holley told Schulman, who kneeled on his seat as he considered the decision before he called.

Both players checked seventh. "I have a straight," Holley said, showing J♦A♣2♠. Schulman flashed a 7♣ before he mucked.

Mike Patrick

Level 19

Pot-Limit Omaha

A massive pot just played out that has seen Dylan Weisman survive, while Daniel Strelitz has vaulted to near the top of the chip counts.

Action opened with Weisman limping in early position and Strelitz raising from the cutoff. Saechao then potted from the button, Weisman moved all in for about 55,000, as did Strelitz with both players well covered and Saechao called off as well for about 200,000.

Dylan Weisman: J♣10♥10♦9♣
Kao "Flexx" Saechao: A♠K♦Q♣10♠
Daniel Strelitz: A♥A♣7♣2♣

If Strelitz's aces could hold, he'd drag a pot that would send him over a million chips while eliminating both opponents.

The dealer then spread a board of 6♥K♣3♠7♠8♦, giving Weisman a winning straight to take the main pot and triple up, while Strelitz took the beefy side pot to eliminate Saechao and get the majority of his chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Strelitz	720,000 405,000	405,000

Dylan Weisman	165,000 103,600	103,600
