Brian Hastings ($115,270) and  OMGClayAiken ($46,997) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi. Also playing at the table was La Key U ($37,900), howisitfeellike ($20,200), bballer88 ($68,381) and lady marmelade ($40,997). They played at Brookview (6 max) table at FullTiltPoker.

One of the bigger hands that was played at the table was between Brian Hastings and lady marmelade. Brian Hastings raised to $1400 before the flop. They both checked the flop and on the turn lady marmelade bet $2,576 which Brian Hastings called. After the river the board was showing [Kh 3s 4c Qs] [8c]. Lady marmelade checked while Brian Hastings bet $6,400 which was quickly called. On the showdown Brain Hastings showed Ace King high while lady marmelade had two pair (queens and eights) taking down the pot worth $21,134.

Another of the top poker tilt hands was between lady marmelade and La Key U. After the flop La Key U bet $4200 which was called by lady marmelade. After the turn La Key U bet $12,600 which was again called by lady marmelade after taking some time to think about the call. The river was a KS making a complete board look like [4h 5s 7c Js Ks] and lady marmelade this time bet $37,800 which was called by La Key U after requesting time….La Key U had $19,494 at this point and was all-in. The showdown between the players had lady marmelade showing King Jack high while La Key U had a eight high straight. Tough to try to bluff someone when they have a straight and the hand was worth $76,788 which was collected by La Key U.

Lady marmalade unfazed by the last hand bet $4,200 after the cards were dealt which was called by OMGClayAiken and howisitfeellike. After the flop OMGClayAiken opened the action by betting $8,400 which was called by lady marmelade and howisitfeellike folds. After the turn lady marmelade went all-in putting in $21,045 which was called by OMGClayAiken.  They both flipped over their cards and OMGClayAiken showed a flush which dominated lady marmelade’s two pair. The 5h didn’t help lady marmelade and OMGClayAiken took down the pot worth $71,687.

Near the end of me watching the game lady marmelade won a large hand against Brian Hastings when Hastings had a two pair while lady marmelade got a straight on the river winning $83,998.

At the end of nearly 50 hands the chip totals were:

La Key U ($72,881)

David Benyamine ($59,986.50),  Gus Hansen ($21,000) and SteveSung ($84,991) played $2000/$4000 Limit Omaha H/L. Also playing at the table was howisitfeellike ($26,491) and EazyPeazy ($114,586.50). They were played at the Patrik (6 Max) table at FullTilt Poker.com.

EazyPeazy was winning a lot of the hands while I was watching. A couple of the first hands I watched was when EazyPeazy won a hand worth $41,997.  At the river Gus Hansen bet $4k and EazyPeazy went over the top and raised another $4k and Hansen then folded. The very next hand EazyPeazy again went up against Gus Hansen. EazyPeazy was betting and Hansen was calling through out the hand. At the end of the hand the board was showing  [3h 9c 4c Qh] 7c] and EazyPeazy had [6c 2d 5s 6h] and made a seven high straight. Hansen mucked his hand and EazyPeazy raked in the pot worth $40,997.

After another 10 hands EazyPeazy also picked up two more pots.  One hand against howisitfeellike and Eazypeazy won with a full house (nines full of aces) and picked up a pot worth $68,997! Then a couple hands later against SteveSung, EazyPeazy was able to take down the $55,997 pot with an ace high flush.

howisitfeellike ($28,972)

Mike Matusow ($70,984) and stevesbets ($42,440) played $1000/$2000 Omaha High Lo at Full Tilt. Also at the table was 13571113 ($39,713.50), EazyPeazy ($107,797) and Bill Gazes ($6,026.50). They played at the Pearl 6 max table.

One of the bigger hands at the table was between Mike Matusow and EazyPeazy. They were both betting the whole way with a bet from one and a raise from the other. They were betting $4k on turn and river. When they both showed their cards they must have been dissapointed to learn that they were holding the same hand. They both had a five high straight with A2 in their hands and [Kh 3d 5d 8s 4s] on the board.

After about 20 hands Mike Matusow started sitting out and EazyPeazy and Stevebets duked it out at the table. They had a lot of $15k+ hands between them and made the heads up battle a good one. One of the hands saw bets from both sides with stevebets leading the charge. In the end Stevebets lost the hand with a smaller two pair. EazyPeazy had two pair (jacks + fives) while Stevebets had two pair (kings + tens). EazyPeazy took down the pot worth $16,000.

After watching the last 50 hands of the table the chip counts were:

Seat 3: EazyPeazy ($111,555.50)

I haven’t watched a Limit Omaha H/L game in a bit and when I usually do it always seems like Mike Matusow is a part of them. The game was averaging a respectable $3,729 per pot and 112 hands per hour with a 43% Plr per flop.

The largest hand I saw played at the table was between Mike Matusow and TorontoToro. Mike Matusow was betting and getting re-raised by TorontoToro through out the hand. Finally the last bet Mike Matusow checked and TorontoToro bet $600. Mike Matusow took some time and was deciding between laying down the hand or calling…He choose to call and it was the right decision. Mike Matusow had [As Ks 4s Jd] two pair, Jacks and Tens, for high while TorontoToro had [Ac 5c 2d 4h] a pair of Tens, for high. Matusow raked in the pot worth $7,497.

Mike Matusow ($13,094)  and Allen Cunningham ($14,729.50) played $300/$600 HORSE at FullTiltPoker.net. Also playing at the poker table was Slick Puppy ($6,294), DAT MOOSE ($15,919), NO IT ALL ($3,744) and imabigkidnow ($33,064.50).

Allen Cunningham at some points sat out and would watch a couple hands then would sit back down at the table.  There weren’t any large hands but lots of $3k+ hands.  I would have thought there would be bigger hands but it always seems like the Mike Matusow tables are never that active in terms of number of high stakes hands.

After watching for about 75 hands the table broke up after Mike Matusow and Allen Cunningham played two heads up hands. They left with:

Mike Matusow ($28,390)
AllenCunningham ($12,744)

Gus Hansen ($180,493.50) played heads up against SteveSung ($69,495.50) at the $2000/$4000 HORSE at Full TIlt Poker.  It was actually a six player table but when I was watching it was just heads up. They were playing at the Patrik Antonius table.

It was definitely a good table to watch with a lot of hands over $25k. It seems like a lot of tables lately haven’t had much action but this was definitely did.

There were a couple large hands including a $68,599.50 hand. They were playing Limit Stud Hi and Gus Hansen was betting the whole way while along the way SteveSung raised and re-raised. In the end SteveSung showed a king high flush while Gus Hansen mucked his cards.

Another hand in the $60k range was also during the Limit Stud Hi game and SteveSung had a straight this time against Gus Hansen’s mucked hand. Gus Hansen was betting but it just didn’t pan out and he lost the hand worth $60,599.50.

At the end of about 100 hands the chip totals at the table was:

Gus Hansen - $126,284.50
SteveSung - $123,683.50

AllenCunningham ($50,319.75), Mike Matusow ($16,311.05) and Gus Hansen ($28,789.50) played $1000/$2000 HORSE. Also at the table was CHUFTY ($92,098.25), Boosted J ($20,300) and Confused 1 Here ($39,422.85). They played at ELK a 6 max table at FullTiltPoker.net.

There were a couple good hands that I watched. One of them was between CHUFTY and Gus Hansen. Gus Hansen was betting $2k and was being called by CHUFTY every step of the way. After 7th street Gus Hansen showed three of a kind jacks and CHUFTY mucked his cards and Hansen raked in the pot worth $22,20.

Most of the hands that were played were in the teens.

I was able to watch for a little over 100 hands and then the table broke up. At this time the chip counts were:

Mike Matusow ($13,445.55)
CHUFTY ($89,885.75)
Gus Hansen ($49,918.50)
LoLiNa ($23,496.50)

Mike Matusow ($49,090.30) played $500/$1000 HORSE against Mark Weitzman ($37,428), Doesburg ($29,061.25) and Boosted J ($9,738.75). They played at the Pineview table which is a 9 seat table but theren’t weren’t  many high stakes players on tonight so it was only the 4. Though a little later in the game HoSS_TBF joined the table with $20k.

The table had a lot of $10k+ hands. Nothing really over that though but there was enough action at the table that made it interesting. I looked at a couple hand histories and after about 100 hands their isn’t much to talk about. I put some of the hands in the Top hands … but nothing really jumped at me to really breakdown and discuss.

Mike Matusow started to sit out and I decided to stop watching the table after about 100+ hands. When I left the chip counts were:

Hoss_TBF ($26,642)
LoLiNa ($10,000)
EazyPeazy ($15,268.50)
Doesburg ($45,355.25)
Mark Weitzman ($24,147)

Gus Hansen ($66,710.50), AllenCunningham ($72,691.75) played $1000/$2000 HORSE againstfrog22 ($7,190.25) Confused 1 Here ($49,500) and Phil Ivey ($43,501…who sat out most of the game). During the game John Juanda sat down with $20k. Along with Hoss_TBF and CHUFTY.

I had high hopes for the poker game thinking it was going to have a lot of high stakes hands. I was a little let down as players were sitting out and most of the hands were in the teens. With less then a handful being over $20k.

The largest hand of the table was between Hoss_TBF and CHUFTY. They were playing Limit Razz and the pot reached $30,899. Hoss_TBF won showing [5h 4s 9s 6h 7s 2c 4h] 7,6,5,4,2 while CHUFTY mucked.
