WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. - Day 4 - Interactive

O

For a slight change, I decided to go watch several hands of Omaha Hi-Lo at the feature table.

Not too much action (in fact, the most exciting moment was a deck change), but there a few swords clashing, the most eye-opening of which being a hand between Barry Greenstein, Dewey Tomko and Dave Singer, Dewey's pre-flop raise receiving two callers.

With the Flop bringing an , Barry check-raised Dave Singer's 40k bet, only for both Dave AND Dewey to make the call.

The Turn came a , and Barry bet again, once again receiving action from both players.

The River was the , and everyone checked, Barry taking the hand with a rather paltry A-J, although it took Dewey an absolute age to eventually muck his cards.

Still, A-J, didn't take much, I guess there were a few A-2s out there.

Apart from Dewi, Bruno and David Singer taking the blinds, not too much happened on the feature table, so I quickly glanced down at the other table, where I saw Freddie Deeb (or Mini Deeb as he has been referred to - well, once, and it was me), re-raising John Hanson's flop bet on a board of , thus leaving the unknown with a painful look of despair and befuddlement on his face.

Eventually, Hanson did indeed fold and live to fight another day, but he appeared very eager indeed to learn what Deeb was playing. Deeb offered the showing of his hand for a grand, but, unsurprisingly, there were no takers.

Boy, that Mini Deeb don't half drive a hard bargain.

Bruno Fitoussi gets moved off the Major TV Table - in the process of changing mics he's dealt a hand in the big blind.  They kindly let him play it.  Thor Hansen has raised, and Gabe Kaplan callled in front of him.  He calls the extra 40k and they see the flop.  It checks round and on the turn, which was a paint-y card (let's guess the ) Bruno bet out 80k and both his opponents folded.  Then he got back up and let them re-wire him. 

He lost back what he'd gained in that hand, however, in the next one he played (having raised from the button) against callers Freddy Deeb and Gabe Kaplan.  This time Bruno bet the flop, took the free-card option when it was checked to him on the turn, but laid it down when Freddy bet the river (the board perhaps something like 3-8-6-Q-9).

We have now hit the DINNER BREAK.  Restart at 9pm (5am UK time).

May I remind our viewers that my 3 picks are still going strong, although Barry sure is looking good.

After Bruno and Freddie Deeb took the antes, we suddenly lost Mark Gregorich who had let himself get quite short again. "I wanted to be the one making the move," he said prior to the hand.

Couldn't see the full hand, but I know he re-raised John Hanson's 50k. (10k antes, 50k/100k limits), before shoving the rest in soon after.

Both player has a two showing at the start, but Hanson's obviously transformed into a winning hand, as Gregorich was soon tapping the table and shaking hands with his opponents.

Dewey Tomko is OUT in 10th place, winning $131,424

He was all in in the Razz on third street with a 9 showing - Amnon Filippi was his opponent.  The cards (until the last) were dealt face up, and it looked right up until the river that there might be a double up, but no - his made 8-low on sixth street was beaten by Amnon on the river and there is just one more player to be eliminated before the H.O.R.S.E. final table is decided.

did singer make last years FT?

Prior to this exit, there was some very cagey Razz being played indeed - but with the limits getting a little steep (ante 10k, bring-in 15k, complete 50k, big bet 100k) it's not surprising.  Amnon Filippi seemed to win more than his share of these hands, picking up two in a row before the hand progressed past third street.  Then Barry Greenstein made it 50k and picked up the antes, showing a pair of Nines.  The hand after that, Amnon took down another one on fourth street from David Singer, showing 5-5-5... we are wondering if they changed the little sign to the correct game.

Yes, I believe so.  One of the most underrated players in this event, in my opinion.

Been watching the feature table predominantly, which was a little wierd as there were only four players partaking, and just the two when Barry and Amnan left the table for a breather - David Singer and Kenny Tran being the men left to do battle.

Amnan had brought in for 15k, only for Dave Singer to makes it 50k with the .

Tran then raised to 100k with the , Singer re-raised to 150k and Tran called.

Tran = (?)(?)

Singer = (?)(?)

Singer bet 50k, Tran called.

Tran = (?)(?)

Singer = (?)(?)

Tran bet 100k, Singer calls.

Tran = (?)(?)

Singer = (?)(?)

Tran bets 100k, Singer calls.

River card dealt face down.

Tran bets 100k, Singer calls.

Tran takes a big pot with A-2-3-4-6

and most hated?


its funny that last year most of the "pros" made it to the final table (reese/brunson/ivey) etc, wonder how this tourney will be opined this year when most of them aren't immedialtely recognisable.
