Straight's No Good in this Game

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Randy Ohel had the button, and raised. Benjamin Lazer called out of the big blind, and drew two. Oher drew three, and called a bet from Lazer. On the second draw, Lazer drew two, Oher one, and Lazer check-called a bet. On the final draw, both players drew one, and Lazer led out. Oher called.

Lazer showed a six-high straight, which is no good in this game, and Ohel turned over a king-low.

Ohel momentarily grabbed the chip lead, but Lazer made number two a few hands later, and edged back out in front.

A Showdown?

The match has been severely lacking in showdowns the last while. We got oh so close to one just now but Randy Ohel tank-folded to Benjamin Lazer on the last betting round.

Ohel two-bet from the button and Lazer called. Both players drew two and Lazer check-called a bet. Both players drew one and Lazer led out at this juncture. Call. Lazer stood pad and led out again after Ohel drew one. Fold.

Ohel won two samll hands after this and then the clock was paused as the two players went on a quick bathroom break.

Ohel Closes the Gap

The swings are big now as the limits are so high. A couple of big pots one way or the other could end this match.

Luckily for Randy Ohel a couple of uncontested pots and one showdown hand saw the match swing back his way. He three-bet Benjamin Lazer's open before both players drew two, and then checked.

Both players drew two and Ohel bet out. Call. Ohel stood pat and Lazer drew two again. Both players checked the final round of betting and Lazer mucked upon seeing his opponent's {9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{2-}.
