Davis a Quick Study

Raymond Davis
Raymond Davis
Hold'em:

On a flop of {Q-Spades} {7-Hearts} {2-Spades} Raymond Davis checked from the big blind, Daniel Negreanu bet and Davis called. The turn was the {6-Hearts}. Davis checked, Negreanu bet and Davis called. The river brought the {5-Hearts} and the same story-- check, bet, call.

Davis turned up {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}, besting Negreanu's {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}.

"We're playing straight hold'em here, Raymond," said his tablemate, Doyle Brunson.

"That's the only game I knew how to play when I signed up!" replied Davis.

Tight Quarters

As you might expect there's a bit of a crowd trying to watch the three star-studded tables left in the H.O.R.S.E. event. Did I say a crowd? How about a mob. The spectators are stacked four-deep along the rail and they're getting a bit too close for comfort. The fans are looming over Table #3 and the floor has decided to try to move it away from the ropes so the players can operate without feeling the hot breath of railbirds on their necks.

Andy Bloch Scoops Patrick Bueno

Patrick Bueno was betting and Andy Bloch was calling all the way through fifth street, with Bueno showing {K-Spades} {3-Clubs} {5-Spades} to Bloch's {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {Q-Spades}. But on sixth street Bloch picked up the {6-Clubs} to Bueno's {8-Diamonds} and this time Bueno chose to check-call Bloch's bet.

Bueno check-called again when the last cards were dealt and that's when Bloch revealed the {8-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {3-Hearts} for the straight and the winning low and Bueno mucked his hand. Bloch is now up to 510,000 and Bueno slipped to 800,000.
