Kostly Turn for Yanovski

Livello 24 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

PokerNews heard yelling from across the room and rushed over to try and catch the action. Thankfully, Leonid Yanovski was there to relay what had happened.

Leonid Yanovski raised and quickly saw Nick Kost three-bet pot. Yanovski called and the flop came 5x7x9x rainbow.

All the money went in on the flop and both players turned their cards up prepared to watch two cards peel off.

Leonid Yanovski: Ax8x6x2x
Nick Kost: AxJx8x2x

Kost needed help with well over a million chips in the middle and that help wasted no time materializing in the form of a 10x hitting the turn to give him the nut straight.

Yanovski would need a card to give him a low just to recoup a quarter of the pot but when a Kx fell on the river, Yanovski was sent to the rail as Kost rocketed up the chip counts.

Jose Vaughan: A♥K♠K♠10♥2♠
Shaun Deeb: A♦A♠J♦5♣4♦

The board ran out 2♦5♥10♦9♣9♦, giving Deeb the nut flush and the entire pot as Vaughan headed toward the exit.

Livello 24 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Big O

Michael Schwartz was forced all in from the big blind as Martin Zamani raised to 40,000 under the gun and was called by Thomas Taylor and Zhen Cai.

The flop came 8♠8♦5♦ and action checked to Cai on the button, who bet 100,000. Both Zamani and Taylor quickly folded.

Schwartz turned over K♦J♦9♥7♦3♠, while Cai had A♠9♣8♥3♦2♥ for trip eights. The board ran out J♥Q♥ and Cai sent Schwartz to the rail.

At the same time on another table, Philip Sternheimer and Michael Lim were both eliminated on the same hand by Carlos Guerrero, who has now climbed above 1,000,000.

Michael Lim: A♣10♥7♦2♦
Lawrence Brandt: A♦9♥3♥2♣

The 3♠3♦8♠ flop gave Brandt trip deuces. "That's terrible," Lim, chopping down on a cigar, yelled out. The board ran out K♠6♥ and Brandt took the high pot while earning half of the low.

Livingston Takes From Savill Again at a New Table

Livello 23 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

The table featuring Alex Livingston and Sterling Savill just broke, and Livingston and Savill found themselves moved to the same table once again.

"He hit the dirtiest river on me earlier," Savill told his new tablemates about their previous encounter.

"Not confirmed, by the way," Livingston replied.

Livingston then raised from early position and Savill called. The flop came Q♥10♠8♥ and Livingston bet again. "I bet the most they would let me," Livingston said as Savill called.

The turn came the 3♠ and Livingston put out another bet. Savill called to the J♦ river, where Livingston bet for the third time.

"This is a gift," Savill said as he tossed his chips across the table. Livingston turned over A♠A♦K♠5♦ for the rivered straight as he took the pot to cross 1,000,000.

"All skill getting dealt that hand," Livingston said.

Kaimakamis Takes One From Deeb

Livello 23 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Shaun Deeb who raised the button and got called by Vangelis Kaimakamis in the big blind to see the 10♦3♦7♦ flop.

Kaimakamis checked to Deeb who bet and got called by Kaimakamis, sending the duo to the Q♣ turn.

Action checked through to the J♣ river, which once again saw both players check through to showdown.

Kaimakamis showed the 10♠5♥5♣2♥ which was good enough for the whole pot as Deeb knuckled the table and tossed his cards into the muck.

Angela Jordison: A♥9♠6♠4♠3♠
Sterling Savill: A♦9♣6♣3♦2♣

The board came 9♥K♣5♦4♣2♥ and Savill made a straight with an ace-three low, while Jordison survived to split the lot but was left on an extreme short stack.
