Hand #29 - Peter Jetten

[user66118]

Brandon Moran has the button in Seat 2. Blly The Croc limps in from under the gun. Everyone else folds around to the blinds, who both come along to the flop.

The three-handed flop comes {4-Diamonds}

. The blinds check, and The Croc bets 125,000. Peter Jetten is the lone caller from the small blind seat.

The turn is the {7-Spades}

, and both players check.

River: {8-Clubs}

. Jetten bets out small, 60,000. This sends The Croc into the tank, mumbling to himself and trying to catch some information from his opponent. He finally does make a seemingly-reluctant call.

Jetten turns over {A-Spades}

. The Croc studies his cards for another few seconds before tossing them into the muck.

This hand marks just the second showdown so far today. The first came when Greg Hurst was all-in way back on the eighth hand of play.

Hand #30 - Billy "The Croc" Argyros

[user75032]

Peter Jetten has the button in Seat 3. Marty Smyth limps in, as does Jetten. Michael Mizrachi completes the small blind, and Billy "The Croc" Argyros checks in the big blind. Everyone checks the {9-Diamonds}

flop. The turn comes {Q-Spades}

, bringing a bet of 55,000 from Mizrachi. Argyros thinks briefly, then calls. Everyone else folds; we are heads up to a river of {J-Spades}

. Mizrachi bets again, this time 50,000. Argyros makes a curious just-call with {Q-Diamonds}

for queens full of jacks. Mizrachi never shows, choosing to muck instead.
