Showdown? Not Quite

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

A min-raise from Glenn McCaffrey was called by Alan Jaffray in the BB before a {J-Diamonds}

flop came. Jaffray check-called a 75,000 bet and a 200,000 bet on the {8-Spades}

turn. The 275,000 bet he faced on the {4-Hearts}

river was too much for him to call though.

"Party at Rhino's" was heard coming from McCaffrey's railers.

David Lerman, down to just 233,000, open-shoved in mid position and Andy Seth on the big blind gave it some serious consideration -- but he folded, leaving Lerman to pick up some much needed blinds and antes.

Dean Hamrick opened for a raise from the hijack and was called by Glenn McCaffrey before Ernst Hermans reraised from the SB for another 235,000. Hamrick folded before McCaffrey raised it up again to 500,000. After a tank of sorts Hermans folded preserving the 420,000 he's still left with.

Ernst Hermans made it 72,000 under the gun, but Andy Seth made it 202,000. Folds all round back to Hermans, and he folded too.

The next hand Seth raised to 77,000 in early position, and a round of folds meant he picked up the blinds and antes.

Tentative Start

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The first two hands were taken down with preflop raises or three-bets. The 3rd hand saw Alan Jaffray raise it up and get called by Glenn McCaffrey in the BB. It was checked all the way to the river giving us a {10-Spades}

board. Jaffray bet at this point and McCaffrey laid it down.
