Seiver Pulls in 2-7 Pot

2-7 Triple Draw

Todd Brunson had raised from early position with Stephen Su and Scott Seiver calling from the small blind and big blind respectively. Each player drew two cards and Su checked with Seiver betting. Brunson called and Su tagged along as well.

Brunson and Su each took two cards on the second draw and Seiver drew one. Su once more checked to Seiver who bet, leading Brunson to fold. Su then raised, getting a call from Seiver.

Su stood pat on the last draw and Seiver drew one more card. Su then checked to Seiver, who bet. Su called, but mucked when Seiver tabled {2-}{4-}{6-}{7-}{a-}.

Seiver is currently stacking his new chips, and we will be back with a full chip count shortly.

Sung Chips Up in Triple Draw

2-7 Triple Draw

Alexander Kravchenko raised from the button and was called by both Steve Sung in the small blind and Jose Barbero in the big blind. Kravchenko and Sung each drew two cards while Barbero drew three.

Sung led out with a bet on the second round of betting and was called by each opponent with all three players drawing a single card. Sung led out with another bet after the second draw and was again called by both Kravchenko and Barbero. This time Sung stood pat while Kravchenko and Barbero each drew one card.

That was it for the betting as all three players opted to check after the third draw. Sung tabled {2-}{5-}{7-}{8-}{9-} and took the hand down after Kravchenko and Barbero mucked.

Vengrin Continues to Build

Pot-Limit Omaha

Matthew Vengrin was folded to in the small blind when he called with Sigurd Eskeland checking his option in the big blind.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Vengrin check-called an 8,000 bet from Eskeland. Both players checked the {k-Diamonds} on the turn and Vengrin bet 16,000 after the {4-Diamonds} came on the river.

Eskeland called Vengrin's bet but mucked upon seeing Vengrin's {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a rivered flush.

No-Limit Hold'em

Sometimes, there's just not much you can do to avoid elimination from a poker tournament. Kirk Morrison experienced that feeling just now as he lost to Matt Venrgin in a set-over-set confrontation.

Morrison was in the cutoff seat and raised to 10,000. Vengrin made the call from the small blind and Sigured Eskeland called from the big blind. The three players saw a flop of {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

Vengrin was up first and checked. Eskeland also checked and action moved over to the preflop raiser. Morrison fired a continuation bet worth 16,000. Vengrin took a moment and then raised to 41,000. Eskeland went into the tank for a minute or two and eventually folded before Morrison was up again. He moved all in and Vengrin quickly called.

Morrison saw the bad news when Vengrin rolled over the {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for middle set of jacks. Morrison held the {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and had flopped bottom set. Surely he was thinking nothing about losing to another set, but it was on the verge of happening.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river the {7-Diamonds}. Neither fourth or fifth street could produce the final six in the deck for Morrison and he sent over his entire stack. He was all in on the flop for nearly 200,000 chips. Vengrin now has a whopping 580,000 in his stack.

Very Aggressive

No-Limit Hold'em

Dario Minieri was was sitting with just about 105,000 chips after moving all in three hands in a row. After the all ins, he decided to mix things up. Stephen Su had raised to 10,500 and Minieri re-raised to 100,000 leaving just 5,000 behind. He explained his bet, saying "I don't want to commit myself. I want to see where I am in the hand." Su folded and Minieri picked up some more chips.

Vengrin's Squeeze Fails

No-Limit Hold'em

Scott Seiver opened the pot with a raise from middle position and Jared Jaffee flatted from the hijack seat. Matt Vengrein squeezed out a three-bet from the big blind, but Seiver came back over the top with a four-bet. Jaffeee and Vengrin both folded. Vengrin showed that he was indeed squeezing with the {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.
