Big Hands and Storylines:
Omaha/8b
Eugene Katchalov Eliminated
Eugene Katchalov was all-in pre-flop against three opponents. Two players made it to showdown and they showed K
K
Q3 and A
1052; the former had a pair of kings for high and the latter had the nut low. Katchalov, who had stood up and shook his neighbor’s hand before the river had even been dealt, was, predictably, eliminated.
Phil Hellmuth Eliminates Jan Sjavik
Jan Sjavik was all-in preflop for about 6,000 against Phil Hellmuth. The two turned over their cards before the flop:
Sjavik: AQ5
2
Hellmuth: AKJ2
The flop was A106, the turn was the 10, at which point Hellmuth notified the table (and, judging by the volume of his voice, several nearby tables) that he had already clinched the high. The river was the 2, which did not deliver Sjavik a low, and he was eliminated. Hellmuth is now up to 60,000.
Razz
Michael Binger, Meet Razz
Binger: 44A
Opponent: 34J
The player in the 6 seat completed showing the 3 and Michael Binger called in the 1 seat with the 4. The 6 seat, drawing a 4 on fourth street, bet into the Binger, who had paired his four. Binger called. His opponent then bet fifth street. Binger angrily fired his up cards face-down onto the table and conceded the hand. Binger is now down to 20,000.
