Hachem vs. Raymer

[user25067]

Joe Hachem limped in from the cutoff, the button limped, the small blind completed, and Greg Raymer checked from the big blind. The flop was {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. The small blind checked, Raymer checked, Hachem bet 300, the button folded, the small blind folded, Raymer raised to 1,000, and Hachem called. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Raymer bet 1,500. Hachem counted out a stack of chips looking like he was about to make a raise, but ultimately folded.

After the hand, the button asked Raymer, "Could you beat a deuce?"

"What was your kicker?" Raymer wondered.

"An ace," said the button.

"You would have been old news," quipped Raymer.

And the Beat Goes On

Today Glyn Banks had his aces cracked by a J-10 that made a straight on the river. Yesterday, I walked by his table just as his kings were cracked by a J-8 offsuit that made a second pair on the river. Banks is still holding on to a good stack today, but he doesn't like his run of cards lately.

Michael Craig: From Victim to Victimizer

During the break, we caught up with author Michael Craig. He said on the 7th hand of the event, he had his aces cracked and lost half his stack. He said he was feeling a little victimized - that is until he cracked someone's kings with Q-10. "I thought he was making a move," he said sheepishly. Michael Craig now has 17,000 chips.

Andrew Webking is one of the few players to money three times already at the WSOP this year. Today he's sharing a table with Johnny Chan and Jean Gaspard.

Mikael Thuritz Has Been Eliminated

On a flop of K-Q-Q Mikael Thuritz bets out and is smooth called by Jerrod Ankenman. On a 7 turn, Thuritz bets out 1000 and again is called by Ankenman. On a 10 river, Ankenman leads out with a bet of 2025 (the exact amount to put Thuritz all-in) and Thuritz calls. Mikael Thuritz shows down pocket aces and Jerrod Ankenman shows K-Q for the flopped boat.
