Fuchs Bets Out Toledo, Livingston Keeping Things Lively

Livello 17 : Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud

Delmiro Toledo: XxXx/7♥A♥J♦K♠/Xx
Carol Fuchs: XxXx/9♠8♠Q♥9♣/Xx
Brian Yoon: XxXx/9♥3♥ -folded

Delmiro Toledo bet on fourth street and was called by Brian Yoon before Carol Fuchs raised. Toledo reraised and Yoon folded, while Fuchs called.

Toledo bet again on fifth and Fuchs put in a raise. Toledo called, then called another bet on sixth.

Fuchs bet again on seventh and this time Toledo threw his cards away.

Alex Livingston was begun a conversation about the best poker players in the world, one that naturally drew Phil Hellmuth in.

"Phil, you can't possibly think in a $100K you're the best player," Livingston asked.

"I do," Hellmuth replied. "In the One Drops, I have more top 10s than anybody and I've only played half of them."

"The only reason Phil is talking is because he's won a few pots. If he lost he would be silent right now," John Racener added.

"That's the truest thing you've ever said," Hellmuth replied.

Even the tournament official had to comment that, more than halfway through the WSOP, this is the most fun he's experienced in a tournament so far.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Heads-up on a board of 10♣4♥8♣5♦, Roman Verenko bet and Scott Seiver called.

The river came the K♠ and Verenko continued with a bet. Seiver tanked for a few moments before he tossed in a call.

Verenko turned over 10♠5♥3♥3♣ for two pair that was enough to win the pot.

"Scott, I just put you in my top 25 poker players of all time," Alex Livingston called out from another table.

"Why am I catching strays from other tables now? You should've said top two, comma five," Seiver replied.

After Phil Hellmuth limped in the small blind, Esther Taylor checked her big blind.

The turn came the 2♠ and Seiver bet. Diebold threw in his last chips and turned over A♥9♥, but Seiver had him beat with K♠Q♦ for top pair.
