Glantz on the Go

Livello 20

Stud-8

Matt Glantz: (X)(X) / {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades} / (X)
Ben Lamb: (X)(X) / {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} / (X)

After Lamb brought it in, Glantz completed. Then Glantz bet on fourth and Lamb called. On fifth, Lamb picked up an ace and bet, Glantz raised, and Lamb called. On sixth, Lamb check-called Glantz's bet. Then on seventh, Lamb checked, Glantz bet, and Lamb folded.

As the chips were pushed his way, Glantz showed two of his down cards -- {8-Spades}{7-Hearts} -- which made him a jack-high straight. Glantz pushes up to 2.42 million, while Lamb falls to 1.16 million.

The river was the {10-Spades} to complete the board and both players checked. Lisandro couldn't produce a better hand than Lind's {A-Spades}{5-Clubs} for ace high and mucked.

Seiver's Surprise Scoop

Stud-8

Scott Seiver: (X)(X) / {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} / (X)
Minh Ly: (X)(X) / {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} / (X)

We caught the action on fourth street, where Seiver led out and Ly called. Ly made the best board on fifth, he check-called a bet from Seiver, and then check-called two more bets on sixth and seventh. Seiver opened up {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, and somehow scooped the whole pot.

Set of Kings Helps Hellmuth

Livello 20

Limit Hold'em

Just had a big pot LHE hand develop between Vladimir Shchemelev, Jason Lester, and Phil Hellmuth.

The trio each put four bets in prior to the flop coming {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. First to act, Hellmuth bet, Shchemelev called, then Lester raised from the button. Acting very hastily, Hellmuth made it three bets, Shchemelev folded, and Lester called.

The turn was the {A-Spades}, Hellmuth rapidly checked, and when Lester checked behind Hellmuth pushed out a bet, momentarily confusing George Lind watching the hand who called out "whoa" when the dealer started to deal fifth street. Then it was clarified -- Hellmuth was betting the river in the dark. The river brought the {J-Hearts}, and Lester called Hellmuth's bet.

"Set of kings," said Hellmuth, showing {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. "You have a set of nines, huh?" he added. Lester wasn't saying. He took another look at his cards, then tossed them face down to the dealer.

Lester tumbles to about 620,000, while Hellmuth is up over 1.5 million now.
