Shack-Harris Shows Some Razzle Dazzle

Level 21

Razz

Abe Mosseri completed with a {6-} and then called when Brandon Shack-Harris raised with a {6-} of his own. Shack-Harris then bet on fourth, Mosseri called, and then the latter player fired out 120,000 on fifth. Shack-Harris called and then bet 120,000 of his own when he retook the lead on sixth. Mosseri called and then both players checked on seventh.

Mosseri: {x-}{x-} / {6-}{4-}{2-}{10-} / {x-}
Shack-Harris: {6-}{a-}{5-}{7-} / {3-}{7-}{k-}

Shack-Harris tabled a 7-6-5-3-A low, and it was good as Mosseri simply mucked his cards.

Razz

Chun Lei Zhou: {x-}{x-} / {6-}{10-}{4-}{a-} / {x-}
Brandon Shack-Harris: {x-}{x-} / {2-}{8-}{7-}{4-} / {x-}

Zhou completed, Shack-Harris called, and the latter led out on both fourth and fifth street. Zhou called both bets.

The duo both checked on sixth, and Shack-Harris, the runner-up in the $10,000 buy-in razz event, check-called a bet on seventh. Zhou turned over {a-}{7-}{5-} for a seven-six, and Shack-Harris mucked.

Shack-Harris Folds on the River

Level 21

Omaha 8

Brandon Shack-Harris raised to 120,000 from the hijack and Frank Kassela called from the button. Abe Mosseri came along from the big blind and three players took a flop of {5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Mosseri led out for 60,000, Shack-Harris raised to 120,000, and Kassela flatted. Mosseri opted to get out of the way and it was heads-up action to the {Q-Hearts} turn.

Shack-Harris bet 120,000, Kassela called, and the {8-Spades} completed the board on the river. This time Shack-Harris checked and folded when Kassela bet 120,000.

Three-Quarters for Martin, Who Then Receives a Warning

Level 21
Jesse Martin, Brandon Shack-Harris
Jesse Martin, Brandon Shack-Harris

Omaha 8

Chun Lei Zhou raised on the button, Brandon Shack-Harris made it three bets out of the small blind, and Jesse Martin reraised to four bets in the big blind. Zhou and Shack-Harris both called.

The dealer fanned {q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Shack-Harris checked, and Martin tossed out a bet. Zhou raised to two bets, Shack-Harris check-raised to three bets, and only Martin called.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, Martin called a bet from Shack-Harris, and the {3-Hearts} completed the board. Shack-Harris led out, Martin called, and the hands were tabled.

Shack-Harris: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} (Pair of queens and the nut low)
Martin: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} (Pair of kings and the nut low)

Martin won three-quarters of the pot, but became a bit perturbed while the dealer was trying to split the pot. He started offering help and giving direction, but the tournament director intervened, telling Martin to allow the dealer to split the pot.

"It's easy," Martin said, continuing to disagree with the dealers' methods.

At this point other players started to chime in, and the tournament director silenced all of them. He then issued a warning to Martin, who took a deep breath to compose himself.

"I feel like you're scolding me," Martin told the tournament director.

More for Martin

Level 21

Stud

Chu Lei Zhou completed with the {Q-Hearts} and then called when Jesse Martin raised with the {9-Clubs}. Zhou then check-called a bet on fourth before both players checked fifth and sixth. Zhou then bet on seventh and Martin made a quick call.

Zhou: {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds} / {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{x-}
Martin: {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Hearts} / {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Zhou had fives and sixes, but it was no good as Martin had a better two pair with tens and nines.

Martin Doubles

Stud

Frank Kassela: {x-}{x-} / {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} / {x-}
Jesse Martin: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Spades} / {x-}

Chun Lei Zhou brought it in with the {3-Diamonds}, Martin completed, and Kassela raised. The action folded back to Martin, who called, and Kassela led out on fourth street. Martin called.

After making a better board on fifth, Martin bet out, putting himself all in, and Kassela called.

Martin: {6-Spades}{4-Spades}
Kassela: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Martin improved to two pair on sixth, and Kassela was drawing dead with a meaningless {q-Diamonds}. Seventh street was irrelevant - Kassela received the {9-Clubs}, Martin the {10-Diamonds} - and Martin doubled through.

Martin in the Danger Zone

Level 21

Stud

Brandon Shack-Harris completed with the {10-Hearts} and Jesse Martin called with his {8-Clubs}. Shack-Harris then check-called a bet on fourth before leading out for 120,000 on fifth. Martin called and then check-called another 120,000 on sixth. That action repeated itself and the cards were revealed.

Shack-Harris: {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} / {5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Martin: {x-}{x-} / {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} / {x-}

Shack-Harris rolled over a flush, and it was good as Martin scooped up his cards and sent them to the muck.
