Livello 26

Seven Card Stud

Shannon Westbrook: 8♣5♥/8♠10♥J♠5♠/10♠
Thor William Morstoel: A♣J♥/K♦Q♦4♦2♣/9♥

Morstoel completed. Westbrook raised all in, and Morstoel called.

Morstoel had Westbrook at risk, and Westbrook noted that a ten would eliminate him. Morstoel turned over the 9♥, though, giving the pot to his opponent. Westbrook, whose final card was the 10♠, laughed at possessing his potential elimination card as he pulled in the pot.

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Action was joined on the 4♥3♥Q♥ flop. Gershon Distenfeld checked from the big blind. Stephen Savoy bet from the hijack, and was called by Jose Latorraca from the button. Distenfeld folded.

The turn came K♥. Savoy bet, and Latorraca raised all in for 50,000 more. Savoy made the call.

Jose Latorraca: A♥J♦10♣2♥
Stephen Savoy: A♦Q♠8♠3♦

The A♠ hit the river, but Latorraca's flush sent him the entire pot as neither player made a low.

Shannon Westbrook limped from under the gun and action folded to Yuri Dzivielevski in the cutoff, who raised. Thor William Morstoel then made it three bets to go from the big blind and Westbrook called cold. Dzivielevski called as well.

The flop came 6♠K♥Q♦ and Morstoel continued for a bet. Westbrook folded and Dzivielevski called.

Morsteol kept firing on the 6♦ turn and this time Dzivielevski folded — conceding the pot to Morstoel.
