Shorr Busts One

Level 5 : 75/150, 25 ante

Eli Elezra raised to 575 in middle position and a player behind him called all in for his last 350. A third player made the call from the button before Shannon Shorr three bet from the big blind to 2,600. Elezra thought for a minute or two before folding and the third player followed suit.

Shorr drew one while the all in player stood pat. Shorr had {8-}{7-}{3-}{2-} and made an Eight-Seven on the draw with a {5-}. His opponent mucked and hit the rail while Shorr has moved to 17,000.

After the hand Elezra said that he would have won the hand and told Shorr, "I almost put you to the test, Shannon."

Soulier's Check-Raise Bluff Fails

Level 5 : 75/150, 25 ante

Fabrice Soulier had opened and then called a 3-bet from the cutoff. The Frenchman drew one card and his opponent stood pat, Soulier checked and the cutoff bet 1,200 only for Soulier to check-raise to 4,300.

However after about a minute's thought, the cutoff made the call and Soulier quickly folded, the cutoff showing {10-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-} to win.

Rutter Chooses the Wrong Option

Level 6 : 100/200, 50 ante

Stuart Rutter had called the big blind's all in but the latter had stood pat and Rutter was left to tank on his decision. Finally after several minutes he decided to draw one and turned over {10-}{4-}{3-}{2-} saying, "I might be drawing dead..."

"You are," replied the big blind showing him {8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}, the {K-} that Rutter picked up being meaningless.

Rutter said, "I had {J-}{10-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and I really had three choices, draw one, two or pat, I think they were all fairly close to be honest..."

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.
