Eighty-Seven vs Eighty-Seven

Daniel Negreanu raised before the draw and the player from the small blind called. Negreanu's opponent drew two while Negreanu took one. His opponent check-called a bet and both players drew one on the second draw. Negreanu's opponent fired out this time and Negreanu called.

Both stood pat through the third draw and Negreanu once again called a bet from his opponent who flipped up {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

Negreanu dejectedly showed a {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-} for a worse eighty-seven and lost the pot.

Vedes Can't Beat Eighty-Seven

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

One player was all in before the draw started and drew one card on every street. Actively playing the hand was Gavin Smith from the button, Tommy Vedes in the small blind, and the player int he big blind. After a three-bet before the first draw, Smith took two, Vedes took three, and the big blind took one. Smith bet and was called by both players.

Smith and Vedes both drew two on the second draw with the big blind taking only one. Vedes checked to the big blind who bet. Smith got out of the way and Vedes made the call. Both stood pat on the third draw and Vedes check-called his opponents bet.

Vedes mucked his hand after his opponent flipped up {8-}{7-}{5-}{3-}{2-} and is down to about 10,500.

Mercier Scoops Yet Another Big Pot

We caught up with the action on the second draw to see Jonathan Aguiar draw two and Jason Mercier take one. Mercier bet and Aguiar raised. Mercier made the call and took one on the next draw while Aguiar stood pat.

Aguiar threw out a bet and Mercier raised. Aguiar let out a huge sigh and rolled his eyes. He tanked for over a minute before finally tossing in a call. Mercier spread out {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and Aguiar let his cards tumble into the muck.
