Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
Josh Arieh raised in the hijack and a short-stacked Dzmitry Urbanovich put in a three-bet from the cutoff. Arieh called and then drew two to Urbanovich's one.
Arieh then check-raised a bet from Urbanovich, and the Polish star called, leaving just 40,000 back.
After they each drew one, Arieh bet, and Urbanovich called to put himself at risk, then the players revealed their hands.
Dzmitry Urbanovich: 5x4x3x2x/Xx
Josh Arieh: 8x7x6x2x/Xx
Arieh showed first and revealed a king, meaning anything but an ace, pair, or six would keep Urbanovich alive.
Unfortunately for him, he drew a 6x, giving him a straight to end his day shy of the money, leaving 17 players in the field.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
What had kicked off as a single-raised three-way pot with Daniel Alaei as the pre-draw aggressor, picking up calls from Ray Dehkharghani on the button and John Monnette, ended up in a set-back for the latter. The draw had been completed already with Monnette and Alaei both having discarded one. Monnette led for 60,000, Alaei raised to 225,000 for Dehkharghani to fold and Monnette instantly called.
Monnette was shown the 8x6x5x4x3x and mucked his 8x7x4x3x2x.

Marco Johnson opened on the button and then called after Chris Klodnicki three-bet out of the small blind.
Klodnicki continued on a flop of 7♠J♣6♠. Johnson responded with a raise only to see Klodnicki move the remainder of his chips into the middle. Not needing to call much more, Johnson duly put his opponent at risk.
Chris Klodnicki: K♠J♠
Marco Johnson: A♠7♥
Klodnicki was in excellent position to secure a full double, needing to fade a non-spade ace or seven. The 8♣ turn changed nothing but the A♦ river was a dagger to Klodnicki, sending him to the rail short of the money.

Pot-Limit Omaha
Chris Klodnicki raised to 40,000 on the button and Ray Dehkharghani called out of the big blind. On a flop of 10♥9♣3♦, Dehkharghani bet 105,000 and Klodnicki had a smirk on the face before folding.
One hand later, Daniel Alaei limped in and Dehkharghani did so from the small blind while Phil Hellmuth as the other table short stack checked out of the big blind. The K♥7♦2♥ flop was checked to Alaei and he bet 30,000. Dehkharghani called and Hellmuth did so as well.
The 5♥ on the turn was checked through and that led the trio to the 4♥ on the river. Dehkharghani now bet 85,000 and Hellmuth was instantly annoyed, leaning side ways on his chair in a rather annoyed mood.
He then reluctantly folded and so did Alaei, which caused some table chat by Hellmuth.
"F*** ... you call a pot-sized raise before the flop?" Hellmuth asked but received no reply, which then triggered more murmured complaints. "Son of a b**** ... I had a monster," Hellmuth concluded.
