Bad Decision for Frazer

Ian Frazer
Ian Frazer
Daniel Negreanu raised from under the gun to 6,000 holding two tens. Ian Frazer called on the button with two sixes and then Roland De Wolfe called from the big blind with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} and De Wolfe took the lead with top pair, top kicker. He fired 13,000 and Negreanu folded. Frazer made the call.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and both players checked.

The river paired the board with the {8-Diamonds}. De Wolfe took his time before deciding on a bet of 36,000. Frazer wasn't going to be bluffed this time and made the call. But, De Wolfe showed him the best hand and Frazer mucked.

Rousso Comes Back to Chop

Vanessa Rousso raised to 5,000 preflop with {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Ian Frazer called with the {A-Spades}{5-Spades}. The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Frazer moved to the lead. Both players checked.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and Rousso check-called a bet of 8,000 from Frazer with just her ace high. She got lucky though when the river peeled the {2-Diamonds} and both players now held a wheel.

Rousso check-called a bet of 10,000 from Frazer and the two chopped up the pot.

Negreanu Misses Big Draw

Daniel Negreanu exercised some of his small-ball tactics by min-raising to 4,000 preflop with the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Vanessa Rousso called from the button with {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and the announcers got excited about the possible action to come. Negreanu checked and Rousso fired 6,000. Negreanu called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Negreanu fired 12,000. Rousso called.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and both players checked. Rousso won the pot with her two pair of jacks and tens, scooping the pot.

Super Metagame

Sick play from Schwartz
Sick play from Schwartz
Vanessa Rousso limped in holding the {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} before Yevgeniy Timoshenko raised to 16,000 holding the {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Luke Schwartz reraised to 36,000 holding the {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Rousso folded and then Timoshenko thought for a while. He put in another raise to 82,000, picking up on weakness from Schwartz. Almost right away, Schwartz moved all in for 274,000 and Timoshenko folded. Schwartz tabled his six high and the table went nuts. Phil Hellmuth was commentating and almost lost it on the mic.
