No-Limit 2-7

A player in early position raised to 1,300 before Benny Glaser jammed his last 5,800 before Christopher Vitch made it 10,500. The early raiser called and action was three ways with Glaser at risk.

Glaser and Vitch stood pat on the draw while their opponent drew one. Action checked after the draw and the cards were turned up.

Vitch had 9x8x6x5x4x but Glaser had 9x7x6x5x2x to take the pot. Their opponent mucked a missed eight-draw to give Vitch the side pot.

Rheem Wins as Dealer Runs Out of Cards

Livello 6

2-7 Triple Draw

Four players, including defending champion Kijoon Park and Chino Rheem, went to the last draw where Rheem, Park, and a player in the small blind all took one, while an under-the-gun player stood pat.

The dealer, though, only had one card remaining in the deck and the floor had to be called over. It was ruled that the discarded cards had to be shuffled back into the deck and the final draw dealt.

Rheem, in the big blind, led out with a bet and only the under-the-gun player called. "Nine-seven," Rheem said, turning over 9x7x4x3x2x to win the pot.

Livello 6

Limit Hold'em

Christopher Stephan raised from the cutoff before Dominick Sarle three-bet in the small blind. Stephan called before the big blind had a chance to act, and the big blind came along as they went three-handed to the flop.

The dealer turned over 8♣3♣5♠ and Sarle led out with a bet. Both players called to the J♣ turn, where Sarle bet again and both called once more.

The river came the Q♠ and Sarle bet. The big blind called, but Stephan raised this time. Sarle came back with a reraise and the big blind got out of the way, but Stephan called.

Sarle turned over K♣10♣ for the turned flush. "Wait, wait," Stephan said as he held onto his cards for a few seconds before releasing them.

"When you lose with a set you have to double check," Stephan added.
