Pescatori Doubles

Max Pescatori three-bet shoved for about 25,000 after Owais Ahmed opened the pot. Ahmed called, and we were off to the races.

Pescatori: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Ahmed: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The flop came down {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, giving Ahmed a set of queens, and leaving Pescatori with four outs to a straight. He made that straight when the {10-Spades} spiked on the turn, giving him Broadway, and the {2-Clubs} bricked on the river.

Pescatori doubled, while Ahmed lost bout a third of his stack.

Dyer Fills Up

Stud 8/b

Gregory Dyer: ({x-}{x-}) / {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} / ({x-})
Max Pescatori: ({x-}{x-}) / {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} / ({x-})

Dyer completed, Pescatori called, and then called another bet from Dyer on fourth street. Both players checked on fifth street, then Dyer led on both sixth and seventh. Pescatori called both bets.

Dyer opened {5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a full house, and Pescatori flashed the {2-Spades} before mucking his hand.

Racener On Top

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

John Racener raised from early position, and Konstantin Puchkov called from the blinds. Puchkov drew three, and check-called a bet from Racener who drew two.

Puchkov drew two, Racener stood pat, and Puchkov check-called another bet.

Puchkov only drew one on the last draw, and Racener stood pat again. Puchkov checked blind, Racener checked behind, and opened {10-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}. Puchkov folded, and Racener pulled in the pot.

Pescatori No Fish

Level 15

Razz

We missed the action on third street, joining the Max Pescatori, Andrew Brown, and a third player in the pot.

Pescatori: (x-x) / {2-}{8-}{7-}{5-} / (x)
Brown: (x-x) / {6-}{7-}{7-}{3-} / (x)
Player 3: (x-x) / {a-}{j-}{6-}{9-} / (x)

Brown led the betting on fourth, and Player 3 called. Pescatori raised, and both opponent's put in the extra bet. Player 3 made a comment about not wanting to be strung along in Razz, but he came along the rest of the way, anyhow. On fifth street, Pescatori bet to put himself all in for 3,400, and both opponents called. On seventh, Brown squeezed his card and bet, and Player 3 finally ducked out.

Brown announced his seven, showing ({2-}{3-}{5-}) / {6-}{7-}{7-}{3-}. It was no good as Pescatori tabled ({a-}{3-}{a-}) / {2-}{8-}{7-}{5-} for the eighty-five. That's good for a big pot to Pescatori, and he moves all the way back to 61,000 thanks to that. Brown is left with just 7,000 lonely chips now.

A Few Chip Counts From Around the Room

Jammin'

No Limit Hold'em

When we reached Table 373, the board read {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Jerrod Ankenman led out for 4,000 into a pot of 8,000, and Adam Kornuth raised to 10,000. Ankenman called.

The river was the {a-Spades}, Ankenman checked, and Kornuth moved all in for effectively 35,000. Ankenman mucked, prompting Kornuth to start dancing as he stacked his new chips.

E-Fro Drinking Double

Level 15

No-Limit Hold'em

We picked up the action on the flop as Eric Froehlich was leading out for 3,700. He was up against Bruno Benveniste, and he considered for a moment before announcing an all in. Froehlich made the call for his last 23,600 chips, and he was the one at risk as the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Benveniste: {9-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Froehlich: {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Froehlich was open-ended, and the {4-Spades} turn was a blank. The river {J-Clubs}, though, was a fine card for E-Fro. A pair of jacks beats a pair of tens in this game, and Froehlich has doubled back over 50,000.
