We’re here for the poker, sure, but also…to party.
Last night (Wednesday, October 2) The Lex Live 2 Welcome Party brought an entire community together in the confines of a drinking establishment with an open bar.
Needless to say, fun ensued.
It has been a steady grind for PokerStars streamer Mason 'Pyefacepoker' Pye and he just added more chips to his stack. He saw a player open from early position to 6,000 and he called from the small blind. The player in the big blind called as well.
The ![]()
![]()
flop was dealt and all checked it through. The turn was the
and all three checked again to see the
complete the board. Pye led out on the river with a bet of 6,500 but the player in the big blind raised to 18,000.
The initial raiser got out of the way and Pye flicked in a 500 chip to call. He was shown ![]()
but he had the best hand when he opened up ![]()
.

Hand #1: Henri 'Buehlero' Buehler sat under the gun when he raised to 5,000. It folded all the way around to the player in the big blind and he called to see the ![]()
![]()
flop. It checked to Buehler who continued with a bet of 10,000 and that was enough to pick up the pot.
Hand #2: Buehler saw PokerStars ambassador Arlie Shaban open to 4,200 and Buehler defended his big blind as he battled fellow Twitch streamer Shaban.
The flop was dealt ![]()
![]()
and Buehler checked to Shaban who continued with a bet of 4,000. Buehler called again, only to lead out with a bet of 6,000 on the
turn. Shaban quickly let go of his hand and Buehlero was two for two.
