Ivey Pips Johnson

Livello 16

2-7 Limit Triple Draw

Marco Johnson raised from the small blind and Phil Ivey called from the big blind. Both players drew two on the initial round and Ivey called a bet from Johnson.

The second draw round saw Johnson only drawing one and Ivey still taking two, with Ivey check-calling a bet from Johnson once more.

Ivey would pat the final round with Johnson drawing one and again Ivey would check-call a bet from Johnson.

Phil Ivey: 8x7x6x4x2x
Marco Johnson: 9x7xXxXxXx

Johnson announced ninety-seven and Ivey quickly turned over an eighty-seven, prompting Johnson to muck.

Livello 16

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Phil Ivey raised under the gun and got a call from Daniel Alaei in the small blind. Each player drew two, and then Alaei check-called a bet from Ivey.

On the second draw, Alaei took one card while Ivey stood pat. Alaei then checked to Ivey, who bet, but then Alaei came in with a check-raise. Ivey thought for a moment then made the call and drew one after Alaei stood pat.

Alaei then bet in the final round and got a call from Ivey. Alaei revealed his number two (7x6x4x3x2x), to take the pot and put a small dent in the chip leader's stack.

Livello 16

Limit Hold'em

Brian Rast bet the K♥3♥2♣Q♥ turn for Matthew Ashton to call on the button and bet again the Q♣ river, earning a call from Ashton. Rast tabled the K♣10♣ and won the next pot. He then also forced a fold from Talal Shakerchi on a king-high river to add further chips.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Johannes Becker raised on the button and Ashton three-bet to 125,000 out of the small blind for Becker to call. Ashton patted while Becker took one and Ashton then check-folded to a bet worth 120,000.

Ace-High Good for Rotholz

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 16

No-Limit Hold'em

Josh Arieh opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and was called by Hal Rotholz in the big blind.

Rotholz checked on a flop of Q♣5♠10♣ and then raised to 95,000 after Arieh bet 30,000. Arieh made the call to see a turn.

The 4♥ turn saw Rotholz continue his aggression with a large bet of 230,000. After some thought, Arieh called.

Both players checked on the 2♦ river with Rotholz showing down A♣K♥, good enough to take down the pot.

Showdown Pot for Rast After Dinner

Livello 16

Limit Hold'em

Brian Rast raised from under the gun and was called only by Talal Shakerchi in the big blind. On a board of K♣9♥2♦K♠10♦, Shakerchi check-called all the way and Rast announced pocket jacks to expose the J♥J♣.

That was enough to win the pot as Shakerchi instantly mucked.

Last Pot Before Dinner to Alaei

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 15

Stud Hi-Lo

Daniel Alaei: XxXx / 3♣4♥6♦7♣ / Xx
Ray Dehkharghani: XxXx / 2♦8♣4♣10♣ / Xx

Daniel Alaei bet from fifth to seventh street and earned two rather swift calls from Ray Dehkharghani as the clock ran down for level 13. On seventh street, Alaei bet once more and Dehkharghani then suddenly went deep into the tank. More than six minutes passed before he sigh-folded and went into his now shortened dinner break.
