Williamson Having Fun

Level 7 : 150/300, 75 ante

In a three bet pot pre-draw, Robert WIlliamson III stood pat and his opponent, who was in position, drew one. Williamson checked and after some thought, his opponent did as well.

Williamson rolled out a {10-}{9-}{6-}{4-}{2-} and his opponent mucked. Williamson, who must have thought his opponent was thinking about bluffing the draw told him there was no way he was getting away from the Ten-Nine there, as he raked in the chips sending him to 10,000.

Binger with a Decision

Level 6 : 100/200, 50 ante

We caught the action with Michael Binger all in against one other player. Binger had position and his opponent had already stood pat causing Binger to go into the tank. He kept repeating "I don't know what to do here."

After a few minutes he finally patted and was relieved when his opponent declared "Ten-Nine". Binger had Ten-Eight and scooped the pot. He's a lot of good decisions away from getting back into it though. He still has just 3,700.

Bern Baby Bern

Level 6 : 100/200, 50 ante

The hijack opened to 550 and Bernard Lee made it 1,350 from the small blind, a call followed and Lee stood pat. The hijack then decided to draw two cards and this brought an instant bet of 2,300 from Lee, the hijack tanked before mucking allowing Lee to pick up another pot.

Life of Bryan

Level 6 : 100/200, 50 ante
Bryan Micon
Bryan Micon

He's not the short stack, he's a very naughty boy.

Bryan Micon has doubled up to just over 6,000 after his {10-}{9-}{7-}{4-}{3-} held when his opponent could only show {6-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for a straight.

Kelly Runs Into Number Two

Level 6 : 100/200, 50 ante

After an early position player raised to 600, Dan Kelly raised to 2,000. A third player in the big blind raised all in to 3,475, the initial raiser folded and Kelly made the call.

The all in player patted causing Kelly to tank about his draw. Finally, he took one and told his opponent he may be drawing dead anyway. In fact he was because his {8-}{7-}{4-}{2-} had no outs against the {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} of his opponent.

After the hand, Kelly dropped down to 5,000.

Stuart in a Rutter

Level 6 : 100/200, 50 ante

Shortly after that previous hand, Rutter and two other players went to the draw with the pot about 1,500. The other two players, both out of position to Rutter, stood pat while Rutter took one.

It was checked to Rutter and he bet 700. After some thought, the next player to act check-raised all in to 6,000. The third player folded and Rutter went deep into the tank. He thought for nearly six or seven minutes before the clock was finally called.

About halfway into the count, Rutter announced, "call". His opponent showed him "Number Two", {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and Rutter mucked. He is now down to 14,000.
