[Removed:321] Fathipour took a big chunk of Jimmy Fricke's chips in a heads-up pot. Both men drew one card on the first two draws, and Fricke stood pat while Fathipour drew one more card. In the end, Fathipour tabled T-8-5-4-2, and Fricke couldn't show anything better, dropping down to 3,400 chips.
On the next hand, Fricke was all in before the draw against Hung La. Both men drew two and one on the first two rounds before standing pat on the final draw. La turned over 7-6-5-4-2, and his number four was good enough to win the pot and send Fricke to the exit.
Ecstatic over that pot win.
Justin Smith raised UTG, Ryan Fisler called from the cutoff, Nam Lee called on the button and Tuan Le called in the big blind.
Smith drew one and everyone else drew two, Smith bet and everyone called.
On the second draw, everyone drew one except Nam Le who drew two. It was checked to Fisler who bet and everyone else called.
Fisler stood pat while those around him all drew one with everyone checking the final betting round.
Justin Smith raises preflop and Imani Dariush reraises in the small blind. Tuan Le called and Smith folded.
Dariush drew 2 and Le drew one, before the former check-called a bet from Le. On the second draw, Dariush drew two and Le stood pat, which led to Dariush check-calling another bet.
Dariush drew one on his final draw and Le again stood pat. Both players checked and Le showed to win the pot.
Greg Mueller has just been knocked out by Hung La. La was standing pat after the first draw with 9-8-6-4-3. Mueller was drawing one, and he went ahead and showed that he was working with 8-6-5-2 with plenty of chances to draw to the winner. On his last draw, Mueller squeezed out his last card.
"It's a two-dotter!" he nearly yelled. "Either a four or a five. Coinflip." After a long pinch, he shrugged and turned over a second five for a pair. Failing to make a low, Mueller is out the door with the camera crew in tow.
Rick Fuller (not the wrestler) raised preflop from the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu reraised in the small blind. Allen Kessler called in the big blind and Fuller also called.
On the first draw, Negreanu and Kessler drew one and Fuller took three. Negreanu bet and the other two called.
After the second draw Negreanu and Kessler took one again and Fuller drew three. All three checked.
The third draw repeated the second draw and Negreanu flipped which neither of the other two could beat.
Jacobo Fernandez made it two bets from the cutoff, and Justin Smith and Victor Ramdin came along from the blinds.
Ramdin needed three cards while his opponents each took two. Ramdin bet, Fernandez raised, Smith folded, and Ramdin called all in for his last 200 chips.
He would draw one card on the next two rounds while Fernandez stood pat. With his last card still face-down, Ramdin tabled four cards: 7-5-4-3. Fernandez had a strong low made after the first draw: 7-6-5-4-2. Needing to pull a deuce to stay alive, Ramdin flipped over his final card, and the six that lay there made him a bad straight. He's headed out the door, while Fernandez is up to 61,000.
Billy Baxter came in with a raise from the cutoff, and Abraham Mosseri and Dustin Sitar called from the blinds.
Each player drew two cards. Mosseri checked, Sitar bet, Baxter raised, Mosseri called two bets, Sitar re-raised, Baxter called, and Mosseri called again. Got that?
On the second draw, Mosseri took two cards again before check-folding. Sitar stood pat and bet, and Baxter pulled one card and called.
Heads up then, Baxter needed one more card on the final draw. He and his opponent both checked, and Sitar tabled the winning 8-7-5-3-2.
