Updated Counts, Daniel Schreiber Eliminated by Same Hand

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Some of the bigger stacks in the room are sitting at the table that Daniel Schreiber just busted from.

Schreiber opened under the gun with a shove for 22,500 and Derek Lerner called. The next two players took a few moments to consider the amounts, but decided to fold.

Schreiber and Lerner had almost the same hand. Schreiber had {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} against the {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} of Lerner.

"Two flush draws against one flush draw," Schreiber said as the board ran out.

The board came {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and quickly shut the door on Schreiber's run in Day 1f of WPT National Montreal.

Feels Like the First Time

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Amir Babakhani opende to 6,000 in middle position and Chritophe Joubert reraisedbehind to 15,500.

The action folded around and Babakhani took about 20 seconds before he called.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Babakhani checked. Joubert counted out three even stacks of chips and formed them in a triangle before pushing them into the pot. The best was 17,500. Babakhani called.

Babakhani checked dark and said it was the first time he had ever done that in his life. The {4-Clubs} came and Joubert checked behind.

Babakhani checked again when the {2-Diamonds} hit the river. Joubert began counting out even stacks of chips again and asked Babakhani how much he would need to bet to get Babakhani to fold.

"You have to go all in if you want me to fold," Babakhani responded.

Joubert eventually checked and Babakhani showed a missed straight draw with {q-}{j-}. Joubert showed {9-}{9-} and won the pot.

"I wanted to shove that flop," Babakhani said, "but he said he's not going to fold and I believed him."
