Mixed Game Festival — Live Reporting
Sprung Scoops One
In this Omaha/8 hand at 150/300, two early-position players limped into the pot before Mark Beamer, seated on the button, followed with a limp of his own. In the small blind, Daniel Sprung completed, and the big blind checked, sending five players to the flop.
The flop came Q♥ 9♦ 3♣, and the action checks around.
The turn brings the 2♦, and Sprung seizes the initiative from the small blind, leading into the field. The early limpers fold, but Beamer calls on the button to take the hand heads-up to the river.
The river is the 6♣. Beamer calls one more bet from Sprung, opting to take the hand to showdown. Sprung tables 6♦ 6♣ Q♠ 5♠, showing a set of sixes for the high. With no qualifying low available and Beamer unable to show down a stronger high hand, he mucks.
Sprung scoops and adds a nice pot to his stack. Daniel Sprung is a regular here at Resorts World, playing in a variety of stakes.

We’re Under Way at Card Player Lifestyle’s Mixed Game Festival XII
The players are seated. The cards are dealt.
In this early Stud8 hand, Clyde Kay brings it in with 3♠, and Carl Buckland completes with a call showing 9♥. Mark Beamer raises his ace-door A♣, and both opponents call, taking the action three-way to fourth street.
On fourth street, the boards roll out Q♠ for Kay, 5♦ for Buckland, and 6♣ for Beamer. Kay leads into both opponents, and they each call to continue.
On fifth street, Kay receives 4♦, Buckland catches A♠, and Beamer turns up K♦. All three players check.
Sixth street brings 5♣ for Kay, 4♥ for Buckland, and J♠ for Beamer. Buckland bets into the field, Beamer releases his hand, and Kay calls to continue heads-up.
On seventh street, both players check. At showdown, Kay tables 8♠ 8♣ 3♠ Q♠ 4♦ 5♣ 4♠, making eights up and no low. Buckland reveals T♥ 8♥ 9♥ 5♦ A♠ 4♥ A♦, but cannot claim either side of the pot.
Kay scoops the entire pot.
A Message From PokerReporting.com
We are so excited to be launching our reporting services with the Mixed Games Festival XII. We love everything about these events. Robbie Strazynski and CardPlayer Lifestyle have been friends of ours for a long time and we love to support them. We are also avid fans of mixed games and Robbie has done a great job increasing the visibility of mixed games and introducing new players to games beyond holdem. And we are enthusiastic fans of the poker room at Resorts World. In fact, one of our founders, Chris ‘Fox’ Wallace, won a WSOP HORSE championship and plays in mixed and semi-private games at Resorts World multiple nights a week. He claims it as his favorite room in Vegas.
All those things add up to an incredible opportunity. We have the knowledge, we have the experience, and we have the computing power, to cover mixed games like no one ever has. Video, hole cards, strategy, we can talk about the game at an expert level and we have Chronicle, our proprietary software, trained on mixed games to create graphics for us so that we can present hands from any game type with hole cards and boards.
We will be covering the OE event at Resorts World on Monday November 17th starting at noon. Late registration is open until 4:25 pm for this one, and with thirty-minute levels you’ll still have a reasonable stack if you show up late. The dealers at Resorts World handle mixed games as well as any dealers we’ve ever seen because the biggest mixed games in town are hosted in the private rooms here.
We will have a photographer from poker.photos on site shooting still photos and video, and our reporters from pokerreporting.com will be covering hand updates and results. Our goal is always to make the players feel like stars and create a memorable experience for them. We’ll start showcasing this event as soon as it starts and provide coverage all the way through. You can also find coverage on our social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
