Israelashvili Gets Value From the Bring-In

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Forrest: {X-}{X-} / {2-}{10-}{K-}{K-} / {X-}
Israelashvili: {X-}{X-} / {10-}{6-}{8-}{J-} / {X-}
Obst: {X-}{X-} / {6-}{6-} — folded

Roland Israelashvili brought in with his {10-}. Ted Forrest and James Obst both called.

On fourth, Forrest bet and only Israelashvili called. On fifth, Israelashvili took the lead. He bet and Forrest called. On sixth, Israelashvili bet again and Forrest called once more. On seventh, both players checked. Israelashvili showed {9-}{7-}{7-} for a straight, but his ten-low was still good to take down the pot.

Seidel Halted by Forrest

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

Ted Forrest had the bring-in and Erik Seidel completed. After considering his options for close to two minutes, Forrest called, and then called Seidel's 4,500-chip all-in on fourth street.

Forrest: {A-}{2-} / {K-}{2-}{Q-}{6-} / {3-}
Seidel: {10-}{5-} / {3-}{5-}{K-}{5-} / {Q-}

With Seidel making a king-queen low, Forrest's queen-six low would see him scoop the pot and eliminate the eight-time WSOP bracelet winner.

Obst: {X-}{X-} / {7-}{9-}{4-}{8-} / {X-}
Leah: {X-}{X-} / {7-}{Q-}{J-}{10-} / {X-}

After some controversy regarding whether or not Ted Forrest revealed a hole card from the bring-in, the dealer and floor staff exposed his {3-Clubs}.

James Obst completed. Next to act Mike Leah raised. Action folded around and Obst called. On fourth street, Obst bet and Leah called. On fifth street, Obst bet again.

"Fuck," Leah said upon seeing his card and what remained of his chips. Eventually, he threw in the call, leaving himself with just 2,000.

On sixth, Obst bet and Leah called all in.

Obst showed {2-}{6-} for an eighty-seven while Leah held {2-}{3-} and was drawing dead as he could only make a ten-low. Obst last card was a {10-} while Leah drew a {4-} and was eliminated from the tournament.

Seidel Doubles

Level 12 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Mike Leah completed and Erik Seidel raised. Leah called and then bet fourth with Seidel calling. On fifth, Seidel bet his final 7,000 and Leah called as each player's boards ran out as follows:

Leah: {A-}{5-} / {A-}{3-}{K-}{10-} / {8-}
Seidel: {8-}{6-} / {7-}{Q-}{9-}{3-} / {J-}

With Seidel making a nine-eight low, he doubled through to over 50,000 while Leah slipped to roughly the same amount.

Chop Triples Again

Level 12 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Catching the action on fourth street with Dmitry Chop all in for his last 8,000, both Andrey Zhigalov and Mike Leah created a side pot of 10,000 before the remainder of the action was checked down by both.

Leah: {X-}{X-} / {K-}{4-}{8-}{K-} / {X-}
Chop: {X-}{X-} / {4-}{5-}{4-}{6-} / {X-}
Zhigalov: {X-}{X-} / {5-}{2-}{Q-}{9-} / {X-}

Chop tabled his {8-}{8-}{7-} for an eight-low to scoop the main pot, while Zhigalov tabled his hand for a queen-low to take the side pot.
