Kessler Clawing Back

[user66118]

Daniel Negreanu limped in from the small blind, and his neighbor Allen Kessler tapped the table for a free draw from the big. He and Negreanu each took three cards before check-checking the bet.

On the next draw, Negreanu took three again while Kessler drew two. Negreanu bet and Kessler called.

Both men stood pat on the final round, with Kessler calling one more bet from Negreanu.

"I got an eight," said Negreanu, prompting Kessler to turn over his own 8. "I got eighty-seven," said the Kid. Kessler showed 8-7. "Eight-seven-six," said Negreanu, and that was where it ended. Kessler opened up the winning 8-7-5-4-2 to take the pot and work his way back up to 12,000.

Le Draws Four; Phan Mocks

[user66118]

John Phan raised from middle position, and Ryan Fisler and Tuan Le came along to the draw.

Le took four while the other men drew two apiece. Phan couldn't resist the chance to poke at Le: "Drawing four, Tuan? Nice!"

"That's the beauty of this game," said Le. "You can never be drawing dead till the river." After the draw, the three men checked around. Le would draw three this time, and his opponents again drew two each. Phan bet, Fisler folded, and Le made the call.

On the final draw, Phan and Le each took one card. "Bingo!" announced Le, and he bet out into the pot. Phan made the call. "Ninety-seven," Le said. It was not good though; the cards speak and Phan tabled the winning 8-7-5-4-3.
