Stud 8 or Better

Bring in: XxXx/3? - folded third street
Nick Guagenti: XxXx/A?7?9?10? - folded sixth street

Aggression Pays for Le

Level 10

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Another game unique to the Dealer's Choice event and commonly selected is Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw.

John Hennigan raised to 1,500 in the hijack and got called by the small blind. In the big blind, Allan Le three-bet to 6,000, which got called by both players.

The small blind drew one, Allan Le drew one, and John Hennigan took two.

When checked to, Allan Le bet 18,000, earning folds from both of his opponents after some deliberation.

Kuhn Wins Four-Way All In to Bust Matusow and Leave Fuchs with Crumbs

Level 10
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Pot-Limit Omaha

Mike Matusow was recently eliminated in a massive pot that featured four players going all in.

According to the players at the table, Mike Matusow and another player had already gone all in preflop. Two other players who still had chips behind, Carol Fuchs and Keenan Kuhn, saw a flop of A?A?2?. A flurry of action saw the rest of the chips go into the middle, with Kuhn committing a further 48,800 to put himself all in and Fuchs having him slightly covered.

Keenan Kuhn: A?Q?2?10? All in
Carol Fuchs: A?J?7?K?

Although the hands were missed, the players at the table mentioned that both Matusow and the other player who had gone all in preflop were drawing virtually dead versus Kuhn's flopped full house. Fuchs, however, hit one of her outs when the 7? turn gave her a better full house. Kuhn took the lead right back when the Q? improved his hand to an even bigger full house to take down a massive pot while sending two players to the rail and leaving Fuchs with less than half a starting stack.

#5 for Schneider

Level 11

Badugi

A player in the cutoff raised to 3,000. In the small blind, Nick Schulman called, and Tom Schneider peeled in the big blind.

Schulman drew two, Schneider took one, and the cutoff took one. The cutoff bet 1,500, and both players called.

Schulman took two cards again, and both Schneider and the cutoff drew one again. The cutoff continued for 3,000, and only Schneider called.

On the final draw, both players drew one. Now, Schneider became the aggressor and bet 3,000. After some thought, the cutoff decided to call and got the bad news as Schneider made 5?4?3?2?.

Rheem and Hellmuth Chop It Up

Level 12

Big O

Chino Rheem limped in from under the gun, and a player on the button shoved for 3,500. Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind, and Rheem called as well.

The flop came 7?5?8?. Rheem checked, Hellmuth moved all in for about 4,500, and Rheem called to put both Hellmuth and the player on the button at risk.

Button: A?A?9?8?4? All in
Phil Hellmuth: A?10?5?3?2? All in
Chino Rheem: K?K?9?7?4?

Hellmuth had the nut-low while the button was ahead for the other half with a pair of aces. The J? turn changed nothing, but the K? river gave Rheem a set of kings to take the high while Hellmuth took the other half, and the player on the button was sent to the rail.
