Both players drew one and then Hang checked to Bruschi, who announced he was all in, which was enough to put Hang all in for his last 70,000.

Hang sat back in his seat and sipped his coffee, clearly struggling over his decision. However, Hang eventually decided to lay his hand down and Bruschi was sent the pot.

Stephen Hubbard: XxXx/5xAxJxQx/Xx - folded on seventh street

The action was picked up on fifth street. Danny Noam bet, Greg Mueller called, Stephen Hubbard raised, and Noam then three-bet.

"This is a crazy hand," Allen Kessler said.

"No shit," Mueller responded as he spent a while in the tank before he folded, after which Hubbard called.

Hubbard called another bet by Noam on sixth street, and Noam bet in the dark before seventh street was dealt. Hubbard's card was not to his liking, and he swiftly mucked his hand.

Pot-Limit Omaha

On the next deal, the game switched to PLO. Hubbard was on the button and raised to 10,500. Noam called in the small blind, and Kharlin Sued defended his big blind.

It checked to Hubbard on the 7♣K♥10♦ flop. He bet 34,500, which only Noam called. Noam then put his opponent all in on the 9♠ turn, and Hubbard called off his last 26,500 after some thought.

Stephen Hubbard: A♥K♠Q♠4♦ All in
Danny Noam: A♦J♣8♣2♦

Noam had turned a straight, and Hubbard said his goodbyes as the 6♣ river brought him no improvement.
