Gavin Smith

Big Hands:

Mike Matusow Eliminated

Mike Matusow committed the last of his short stack (about 6,000) preflop from early position and was reraised by another opponent, who made it 15,000 to go. Everyone else at the table mucked and Matusow tabled the KQ but was up against the worst possible hand, the pocket kings of his opponent. The board bricked out for Matusow and he was sent to the rail a year after a deep run in the 2008 main event.

Jim Bechtel Doubles Up

Jim Bechtel saw a disaster flop of J107 and got all his money in. Bechtel was called quickly by an opponent who tabled the AA. Bechtel was way behind with the KJ and needed get lucky to survive. The turn was the 3, giving Bechtel a backdoor flush draw and a lot of extra outs to survive. One of them came as the 9 fell on the river, giving Bechtel a big double up to 71,000 chips.

Brad Garrett Knocks Out Opponent

TV star Brad Garrett held the AA and called the all in bet of another player with the 77. The all-in bet was for 19,700 after Garrett made it 1,600 preflop. The board ran out 653Q8 and Garrett eliminated his opponent, building his stack to 78,000.

Greg Mueller Building a Huge Stack

After the two-time bracelet winner from this summer made it 2,200 preflop, a player on the button moved all in for 10,200. The small blind smooth called and Mueller elected to call as well. Three players saw a flop of K54. The small blind checked to Mueller who wasn’t content with just checking it down. Mueller threw out a bet of 10,000 and the small blind folded. Mueller exposed the 89 for nine-high while the all-in player exposed the A10 for ace-high and the lead. The J hit the turn as Mueller still remained live to hit one of his cards. The pair got there as the 9 fell on the river. Mueller knocked out his opponent and is up to 275,000 in chips.

Gavin Smith Eliminated

Gavin Smith got the rest of his stack into the middle in a coin flip situation. Smith held the AQ and was up against the pocket eights of an unknown opponent. The flop came 765, giving Smith the nut flush draw to go along with his two overs, while his opponent flopped an open ended straight draw. The board bricked out for Smith as it came 7J, as he was sent to the rail late on day two.

Grant Levy Doubles Up

Grant Levy moved all in from middle position after a raising battle with the big blind. The big blind tabled the AK and was flipping against the QQ of Levy. The queens held as the board ran out 87396. Levy is now at 98,000 in chips.

Gavin Smith Is The Third Wheel, Minieri And Friedman Chop

Dario Minieri: X-X-7A3J
Perry Friedman: X-X-2952
Gavin Smith: X-X-36QA

Gavin Smith bet 1,600 and Minieri called. Friedman then raised to 3,200 and his opponents called. The river was then dealt and Friedman fired 1,600 and everyone called. Friedman turned over (99X) for a full house. He then gave Greg Raymer credit for calling his hand correctly. “It’s my best game,” Raymer replied.

Smith then showed (7K2) for a 7-6 low. It was no good, however, as Minieri showed (J42) for a 7-4 low. Minieri and Friedman chopped the pot while Smith was wittled down to 13,400. Minieri was at 60,000 while Friedman was at 24,000.

A Pox On The Seven Of Hearts!

Mike Matusow: X-X-2510
Seat 5: X-X-569

On third street, each player was in for four bets and fifth street saw both players in for one more bet. On sixth street, seat 5 fired 1,600 and Matusow made the call.

Mike Matusow: X-X-25103
Seat 5: X-X-5698

Seat 5 bet another 1,600 and Matusow came along again. The river was dealt and seat 5 bet another 1,600. Matusow agonized on what to do and finally threw in the call. His opponent showed (5J7) for a straight. Matusow then looked ready to erupt and took his frustration out on his opponent’s card, the 7. He launched it clear across the table and it fluttered to the floor. “He four-bet with J-7-5?” Matusow questioned. He mucked his hand and he was down to just 5,100.

Left In The Deck:

The Many Talents Of Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu is all over the place. He went around sniffing people’s hair earlier and now he engaged in a conversation with a woman on the rail. “Who are you wearing,” he asked her in his best fashion designer accent. “Dead Bambi?” he asked after she answered. “You like to kill dear?” The woman laughed uncontrollably and Negreanu then posed with her for a picture.

Prior to that, Negreanu was involved in a hand and showed his Compton roots as he began to rap. “What you gonna do son, what you gonna do?” he spit for a few choruses. It is unknown when his rap album is coming out, but it should be a dandy.

Later, he was involved in another hand and he showed off his psychic ability. “I know exactly what you two have. The exact cards,” he announced to his opponents. He kept betting and raising and his opponents finally mucked. “What did they have?” a player at the table asked. “Hell, I don’t know,” Negreanu replied. “I was lying.”

42,000.

Ho Flushes A Monster Pot

Ho raised to 1,600 and he proceeded to three-bet to 2,400. Ho made the call and the K came on the turn. Seat 4 bet 1,600 and Ho raised to 3,200. Seat 4 then three-bet again to 4,800 and Ho just called. The 5 came on the turn and Ho checked again. Seat 4 checked behind her and Ho showed Q10 for a flush and seat 4 mucked. Ho raked in the huge pot and she was over 60,000 after the hand.

Ivey Drops More Chips

On a flop of 1074, Phil Ivey led out for 800 and his opponent in seat 4 raised to 1,600. Ivey three-bet to 2,400 and seat 4 made the call. The turn brought the 6 and Ivey fired 1,600. Seat 4 called again and the river was the 5. Ivey decided to check and his opponent bet 1,600. After short thought, Ivey made the call and his opponent tabled 98 for the straight. Ivey gave a frustrated look and mucked his hand. He was down to just 6,200 after the hand.

Three Ducks On Two Trays For Robin Hood

After a flop of 1023, Barry Greenstein, Eli Elezra and another player were into the pot for 2,400 each. The turn brought the 3 and everyone checked. The 7 came on the river and Elezra fired 1,600. Greenstein then raised to 3,200 and the other player in the hand folded his hand. Elezra decided to call and Greenstein showed 22 for a full house and Elezra mucked. He was down to 25,000 while Greenstein was at 44,000.

Slick River For Lieu, Ivey Doubles Through

Annie Duke, Phil Ivey and Liz Lieu were in for 2,400 each preflop. The flop came down Q67 and Lieu fired 800. Ivey called and Duke mucked her hand. Lieu then fired 1,600 in the dark, putting pressure on Ivey’s short stack. The 8 came along and Ivey called the bet. Lieu bet 1,600 in the dark again before the K fell on the river. Ivey made the call and tabled AK for top pair on the river. Lieu grunted in disgust as she showed QJ. Ivey just smiled and doubled up to 15,500 after the hand.

Smith Throws Seidel Off His Boat

Ng’s Aces Take Big Chunk out of Rajkumar

Ng checked and Rajkumar fired out 10,500 and Ng instantly check-raised all in. Rajkumar made the call and showed 54, which was ahead of Ng’s AA. That is, until the A fell on the river and Rajkumar was left with 7000.

Tom Dwan Takes Chunk out of Nam Le

On a board of 495J, Nam Le checked and called 2800 from Tom “Durrrr” Dwan and the Q fell on the river.

Le checked again and this time Dwan bet 7600. After a couple minutes of deliberation, Le decided to make the call. Dwan turned over the J5, good for two pair, and Le mucked his hand.

Hellmuth Explodes After Ace on the River

After a preflop raise, Phil Hellmuth and his opponent see a flop of K76. After his opponent checked, Hellmuth bet 3000, and his opponent called. The turn was the 9 and the river was the A.

Both streets were checked down and Hellmuth’s opponent turns up A 6. Hellmuth jumped out of his seat, momentarily halting his massage as he began one of his trademarked rants. “You hit your miracle on the river and you checked it. Well played,” said Hellmuth.

His opponent didn’t say a word.

Madsen With the Bluff on Sung, Then Takes One Off Rousso

Fireworks went off between Steve Sung and Jeff Madsen after the flop came 832. Sung led out with 600 and Madsen raised to 1,200. Sung would not be outdone as he three-bet it to 1,800. Madsen came to play, however, and capped it to 2,400. Sung had enough of this game and mucked his hand. Madsen then poured salt in the wound when he tabled 54 for an open ended straight draw and not much else. Sung just smiled as his stack was down to 25,000. For Madsen, the action was just beginning.

On the next hand, Vanessa Rousso raised to 1,200 preflop and Madsen was the only caller. The flop came K85. Rousso bet 600 and Madsen came along. The turn was the 5 and both players checked. The river brought the 2 and Madsen took the initiative, firing 1,200. Rousso made the call and Madsen showed 99. It was better than Rousso’s 77 and he raked in the pot, his stack improving to almost 30,000. Rousso was down to around 73,000.

NLHE

Fitoussi Straightens Out Jesus

On a board reading 4573, Bruno Fitoussi bet enough to put Chris Ferguson all in. Ferguson then went into the tank for a while.

Daniel Negreanu and David Bach each got up and stretched their legs as Ferguson contemplated on what to do. Finally, Ferguson grabbed his stack and splashed it into the pot, tabling KK. Fitoussi showed 66 for a straight and the river could not save Jesus as he was eliminated. Fitoussi improved his stack to around 60,000 with the knockout.

Omaha 8

Smith Scoops The River

On a board showing 1075, John Cernuto bet 1,600 and Gavin Smith made the call, as did the player in seat 3. The river brought the 8 and the action was checked to Smith. He quickly fired 1,600 into the pot and both of his opponents called. Smith then turned over the bad news, showing AQ92 for a flush and the nut low, both acquired on the river. Both opponents mucked, Cernuto with a little extra sass on it, and Smith scooped the pot. His stack was around 75,000 while Cernuto was down to 55,000.

Planting The Seed

Chino Rheem: 26A
Huck Seed: 3AJ

Chino Rheem: 26A3
Huck Seed: 3AJ5

Rheem fired another 1,600 shot and Seed made the call. On the river, Rheem slowed down and checked. Seed followed suit and Rheem announced “seven,” indicating his seven-low. Seed then turned over 467 for a six-low and he took down the pot. His stack was around 44,000 while Rheem was at 46,000.

We Call It The Wheel

In pot-limit Omaha, the board read 774. Nick Schulman fired a pot sized bet and his opponent in seat 7 called. The turn was the 3 and both players checked. The river was the A, putting a possible flush on the board. Both players were cautious again and checked. Schulman tabled 2587 for the wheel. His opponent nodded in approval and mucked his hand. Schulman raked in the pot and his stack was at 67,000.

Madsen’s King Dominated, But Manages a Chop

In no limit hold em, Jeff Madsen and Vanessa Rousso had already called preflop when the player in seat 8 moved in for his last 1,475. Madsen was first to act and made the call, while Rousso elected to muck her hand. Madsen showed K3, dominated by his opponent’s K9. The flop came AJ10 giving Madsen an opportunity to chop. The 4 on the turn started to make those hopes fade, but the K on the river paired both players and seat 8’s kicker did not play. Madsen got a chop and his stack was at 32,000.

Demidov Can’t Flush the Set

After the flop came down Q73, Ivan Demidov fired a bet of 3,850. His lone opponent raised it to nearly 16,000 and Demidov moved all in. He was quickly called by his opponent who tabled a set of threes. Demidov showed down AK for the nut flush draw. The 9 came on the turn, eliminating any other backdoor draw for the 2008 Main Event runner-up. The river was the 6 and Demidov paid dearly for chasing as his stack was down to 7,000.

Limit HE

Take It To The Limit

In limit hold em, Gavin Smith raised to 1,200 preflop and two players called him. The flop came KJ4 and the player in seat 7 led out with 600. Seat 8 and Smith made the call and everyone saw the 9 hit the felt. Everyone checked and the 5 came on the river.

Action was checked to Smith who had enough passive play and fired 1,200 into the pot. Both of his opponents folded and Smith took in the pot, elevating his stack over 60,000.

Peat was eliminated from the event, and then returned to Bobby's room, where he has been playing high-stakes cash games for most of the day.

Peculiar Hand

Minh Luu raised to 2,400 from late position and Joseph Parker reraised from the cutoff to 4,500. Luu made the call and the flop came 974. Luu checked, Parker bet 6,000, and Luu raised to 15,000. Luu reraised to 26,000 and Parker min-raised to 36,000, which was too small. The dealer then has Lee complete her raise, and Parker made the call. The turn fell 2 and Luu checked. Parker bet 14,500 and Luu made the call. The river fell Q and both players checked. Luu turned over 76 and Parker flipped up pocket eights to win the hand.

Level 9 Update

Mar 16, '09

Big Hands:

Joe Sebok Doubles Up Twice

Joe Sebok got all of his chips into the middle with pocket aces and one opponent called him down with pocket jacks. The aces held when the board rolled out K-9-4-7-5 and Sebok survived. He double up again a few hands later when he moved all in with A-K on a flop of K98 and another opponent called him down with AJ. The turn and river fell 35 and Sebok doubled up again to survive.

Gavin Smith Triples Up

Gavin Smith moved all in from the small blind for 3,675 and both Matt Keikoan and Chad Brown called him down. The two live players checked down a board of K-7-7-6-2 and Smith flipped up A-K. Both of his opponents mucked and Smith tripled up.

The Fall of Mike Matusow

Action on a flop of Q64 is checked to Mike Matusow and he bet 2,100. The big blind raised to 7,100 and Matusow made the call. The turn fell 9 and the big blind moved all in for 27,025. Matusow called and flipped up pocket sevens. The big blind flipped over Q6 and he won the pot to double up when the 9 fell on the river.

Matusow moved all in on the next hand preflop and the button reraised 8,000 and the small blind made the call. Both live players checked down a board of K-J-J-A-9 and Matusow flipped up K-Q. The small blind flipped up K-10 to chop the pot and prevent Matusow from tripling up. He held 5,000 after the hand.

A few minutes later Matusow moved all in once again and doubled up to 10,000. He was almost immediately all in one more time and Ignacio Sanchez called him down. Their cards:

Matusow: A-K
Sanchez: 6-3

Board: Q-J-5-8-6

Matusow was eliminated on the hand after a series of unfortunate events and Sanchez was awarded the $5,000 bounty.
