Big Hands:
Gordon Moving Chips
Razz
Ian Gordon was down to 300,000 after losing back to back omaha 8 or better hands. Then this razz hand came along.
Gordon: (X-X)-4-K-9
Ashby: (X-X)-2-J-2
Ian Gordon was the bring-in with a four and Richard Ashby completed and was called by Gordon. Ashby bet out on fourth and was called by Gordon. Ashby bet on fifth even though he open paired and Gordon moved all-in for just 35,000 more. Ashby called and showed 9-6 in the hole and Gordon showed 8-5 and was in the lead.
Ashby caught on ace on sixth and Gordon caught a 7. Ashby squeezed his last card, but turned up a pair of sixes, meaning that Gordon’s K on the river was meaningless and he wold double up to 600,000.
Razz is Rough on Crazy Marco
Marco Johnson was in two razz hands that left him fairly short. In a hand against Eugene Katchalov, he completed and bet fourth street, before calling fifth and sixth street, but had to fold the river.
Then he completed and was raised by Ian Gordon, but Johnson made the call. Gordon bet every street the rest of the way and their boards looked like this.
Gordon: (X-X)-A-6-5-10-(X)
Johnson: (X-X)-8-J-7-J-(X)
On the river, Johnson was talking to himself before eventually convincing himself to call. Gordon turned over the 7-6-4 in the hole to make a 7-6 low and take the pot. Johnson was left with just 430,000.

Johnson bet and was left with just 35,000. Ashby seemed confused and eventually called. Johnson bet his last 35,000 in the dark and Ashby tossed in a call in the dark.
Johnson showed K67 giving him a king-high flush and the pot. He doubles up to 870,000 and got a golf clap from his cheering section of David Baker and Jon Aguiar.
Glantz Runs a Bluff
Stud
Marco Johnson completed and Matt Glantz made the call. Johnson bet fourth and Glantz called. Johnson led again on fifth and Glantz announced a raise. Johnson made the call and led into Glantz on sixth street. Glantz just called and they saw the river with their boards looking like this.
Johnson: (X-X)-Q-6-J-2-(X)
Glantz: (X-X)-7-3-4-9-(X)
Johnson checked and Glantz appeared to squeeze his river card and then fired out a bet. Johnson then went deep in the tank and eventually folded after six minutes of thinking, leaving himself with just 250,000.
“I haven’t looked,” said Glantz as he was being pushed the pot. “Do you want to see, it’s up to you.”
After Johnson nodded yes, Glantz showed the 5710, giving him just a pair of sevens. Johnson stormed away in disgust, knowing he’d been bluffed off the best hand.

Adams: (A-2)-A-3-J-8-(3)
Ashby: (Q-Q)-6-2-3-8-(K)
Adams’ split aces stayed in the lead the whole way to double up to 210,000 while Ashby fell to 470,000.
Townsend Crippled
Roman Yitzhaki was all-in on fourth street and there was further betting between Brian Townswend and Carlos Mortensen which resulted in Townsend getting all his chips in on seventh street.
Roman Yitzhaki: (Q-J)-J-10-2-10-(K)
Brian Townsend: (A-2)-7-6-Q-K-(A)
Carlos Mortensen: (A-A)-10-3-2-4-(6)
Yitzhaki made jacks and tens for half of the main pot, Townsend made just a pair of aces after drawing to a good low and got half of the side pot, and Mortensen had a pair of aces with a worse kicker than Townsend, but made a 6-4 low to take half of both pots. This left Townsend with just 100,000, Yitzhaki climbed to 140,000, and Mortensen to 520,000.
