![[user140525]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 12
Razz
David Bach hasn't shown down a hand in awhile, but at these limits, missing draws gets expensive. He was down to his last 5,000, which all went into the middle on third street against Andy Bloch.
Bach started with

, but the hand went downhill quickly for Bach. He caught a ten, jack, and king in order, then paired his six. He just mucked his last card as Bloch's ten-nine was plenty good.

Smith "Bluffs" Bloch
Level 12
No Limit Hold'em
Andy Bloch raised under the gun to 4,500, and both blinds called. It checked around after the 
flop. When the 
turn paired the board, Justin Smith bet out 11,500 in the small blind. Robert Campbell folded in the big blind, and Bloch called. The river was the 
. Very deliberately, Smith counted out a bet of 24,500. Bloch took his time folding.
"I know you were bluffing that time," Bloch said as Smith scooped the pot. Andy is down to 89,000, and Smith is drawing close with 85,000.
Omaha Boosts The Aggression
Level 12
Pot Limit Omaha
Justin Smith has shown some aggression as the game changed to Pot Limit Omaha, taking down the first hand of the PLO rotation without seeing a flop.
Faced with a pot sized raise from Mike Watson in front of him, Smith thought for some time before saying "pot". Nobody wanted to rumble and Smith took down the hand.

- Action checked all the way around.
Turn: - Smith and Campbell checked again. Ho bet 3,500, and only Smith called.

Elezra Laying It Down
