Second hand back, Phil Hellmuth took a 20,000 pot away from Jeff Duvall. They more or less took it in turns to bet all the way down to sixth street, and then checked seventh. "Kings," announced Hellmuth. "Kings is good," admitted Duvall, and mucked.
Joe Beevers has been hanging by a thread as of late, floating at around 10,000 in chips. He's been all in three times during the Omaha 8 rotation, with all three hands resulting in split pots.
There's a reason people say that Phil Ivey is 'sick.' In a recent razz hand against Sherkhan Farnood, Ivey called bets from Farnood all the way down to sixth street as the hands filled out:
Ivey:
Farnood:
On seventh, Farnood knuckled the table giving Ivey the last option and he bet 3,000. Farnood made the call and Ivey revealed a 10-7 low:
Ivey: [ ] []
Farnood: [ ] []
Farnood could only make a 10-8 low out of the seven cards that lay spread out in front of him and the dealer pushed the pot to Ivey, kicking him back up to about ~84,000 in chips.
Howard Lederer checked to Isaac Haxton who bet 3,000 before he raised it up to 6,000. Haxton seemed suprised by this play but called anyhow and then folded upon seeing Lederer's .
Marc Goodwin is back up to 40,000 or so after a monster pot against Phil Hellmuth. With raising and reraising from both parties all the way down the board, Goodwin took it down with a mean . Hellmuth stood up and shouted some obscenities, before mumbling about bad beats and eventually sitting down. He didn't quite show his cards, but waved them about most un-secretively for a while before handing them back to the dealer, and I am fairly certain that there were a pair of aces in there. Goodwin meanwhile remained absolutely impassive as he stacked up his new chips.
John Juanda has just been eliminated by Isaac Haxton. Juanda had rolled up sevens and Haxton held to begin. All the money went in on fifth street when Haxton was still drawing but he paired an ace on the end to do the damage and take the high which was all there was to offer.
