"Dooley" The Victor in a Heads Up Duel

Livello 10

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

The under the gun player limped as did another player in early position. Abdullah "Dooley" Al-Shanti potted to 2,800 and the under-the-gun player called to see a 8♣J♠6♦ flop.

The under-the-gun player checked to Al-Shanti who quickly potted again. Under the gun re-potted and Al-Shanti quickly pushed his chips forward to put himself all in and at risk headed to a runout.

Abdullah Al-Shanti: A♠K♣J♦3♣
Under The Gun: A♥7♣5♠2♦

With a lot of cards that would give his opponent the whole pot, Al-Shanti needed to dodge some bullets on the turn and river.

The runout came 8♠ and 6♣, missing everything for his opponent and allowing Al-Shanti to scoop the entire pot for a full double.

As he made it clear that he had gotten lucky to hold for the scoop, he told the table, "What can I say? I'm uncoachable!" which got a good laugh from his tablemates before he turned to his direct right to ask non other than Max Pescatori, "Would you coach me, bro?"

With a couple deep runs and six cashes so far this summer, it's safe to say that "Dooley" is having a blast at the 2023 World Series of Poker.

Moncek Denied a Double by Drinan's Phone

Livello 10

Big O

Heads-up on a board of 7♦8♦5♦8♣Q♠, Connor Drinan tossed out two red 5,000 chips before Michael Moncek, under the gun, announced pot and moved all in for around 38,000.

Drinan quickly called and turned over A♠K♦J♦8♥3♣ for a king-high flush with the second-best low. Moncek, though, had A♥Q♦Q♣4♠2♠ for the rivered full house and the nut low as he scooped the pot.

Drinan was preparing to hand over a full double up to Moncek before he began questioning the size of the pot and took out his phone to calculate it. He figured out that Moncek should've only been allowed to raise to 31,000 on the river, so Drinan took 7,000 back.

Negreanu Busts Again, For Good This Time

Livello 10

Big O

Daniel Negreanu reentered after being knocked down to just 200 earlier, but his second bullet wouldn't last much longer.

Negreanu was all in for around 9,000 from early position and up against Philip Sternheimer on the button.

Daniel Negreanu: A♣9♠8♣7♠3♥
Philip Sternheimer: A♥10♣10♣9♣5♣

The board ran out 2♥10♦J♠J♣K♣ and Sternheimer finished with a full house.

"I guess it's the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em for me. This tournament didn't work out," Negreanu said as he and his camera headed for the door.

Chen Can't Blow Korn Off Kings

Livello 10

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Andres Korn raised to 1,000 from under the gun and James Chen, runner-up to Ben Lamb in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship earlier this series, called in the small blind.

Both players checked the 6♥6♣7♦ flop before Chen led out for 2,000 on the 6♦ turn. Korn called as the J♠ fell on the river.

Chen now bet 5,000 and Korn called. Chen turned over A♠5♠4♣3♣ for just ace-high and a missed straight draw, while Korn had K♣K♥7♣3♥ to take the pot.

"Did I Just Beat A Legend or Something?"

Livello 9

Omaha Hi-Lo

PokerNews picked up the action after a check-call by Fred Bell on a completed board of 2♦2♥A♥7♦J♥.

With the cards on their backs, Bell's opponent was showing the K♥J♣5♥2♣ for a full house, but much to the surprise of tablemate Ted Forrest, Bell had check-called the river with the nut full house holding the A♦A♠Q♠3♥ to win the whole pot as his opponent had no qualifying low.

As PokerNews walked away from the table, with a big smile on his face, Forrest, who was not in the hand, said, "Check-called aces full on fifth street." in an attempt to make sure that we got the very surprising fifth street action correct.

As we asked for Bell's name, he assumed he had beat a legend out of a pot, but the table agreed pretty quickly that even at a table with Ted Forrest, Bell was the legend.

Vonk Sends Out Two

Livello 9

Big O

A player in the big blind was already all in as Marcel Vonk had a bet of 17,000 in front of him on a flop of A♠Q♣9♥. Another opponent on the button tanked before calling for their last 16,000.

Big Blind: A♦10♣7♥2♣Xx
Button: A♥10♥4♠3♠2♠
Marcel Vonk: A♣9♦4♣3♣2♦

Vonk was ahead with two pair as the board ran out 6♥J♣, sending both of his opponents to the rail.

According to tablemates Kenneth Po and Brad Ruben, Vonk had raised to 1,000 and Ruben and the button called before the big blind potted to 5,000. Vonk reraised to 17,600 and only the button and small blind called.

Anderson and Rheem Each Take Half

Livello 9

Omaha Hi-Lo

Scott Anderson limped from under the gun with the player to his left limping as well. The button and small blind did the same before Chino Rheem raised it from the big blind. All four players called and took the Q♦6♣2♣ flop five ways.

The small blind player checked to Rheem who continued with a bet that was met with a raise from Anderson. Only the small blind and Rheem called as three players took the 4♦ turn.

The small blind player and Rheem both checked to see Anderson put the rest of his chips in with both the small blind and Rheem calling again to see the river come the 3♣.

Rheem bet when checked to and the small blind check-called and all three tabled their cards.

Rheem showed the A♥K♠5♣4♠ for the wheel which was good enough to collect the extra bet he got from the player in the small blind, but the wheel was only good for the low versus Anderson as he tabled A♣6♥4♣3♠ for the nut flush which was good for the high half of the main pot as Rheem took the low.
