Lazer On Fire

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Benjamin Lazer has won a handful of pots over the past few minutes, including one where he three-bet from the blinds, and Randy Ohel called. Both players drew three and checked, and then drew three again. Lazer led out, and Ohel called. Lazer patted, Ohel drew one, and both players checked.

Lazer fanned {9-}{8-}{7-}{4-}{2-}, and Ohel mucked.

On another hand, Lazer raised with the button, Ohel three-bet, and Lazer called. Both players drew two, and Ohel check-called a bet. On the second draw, Ohel dished two, Lazer one, and again, Ohel check-called a bet.

On the final draw, Ohel drew one, and Lazer stood pat. Ohel check-called one more bet, and Lazer fanned {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}. Ohel mucked.

We missed the details on a third pot, but four bets went in before the final draw, and both players stood pad. Ohel called a bet from Lazer, and again mucked when Lazer showed {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}.

Ohel Closes the Gap

The swings are big now as the limits are so high. A couple of big pots one way or the other could end this match.

Luckily for Randy Ohel a couple of uncontested pots and one showdown hand saw the match swing back his way. He three-bet Benjamin Lazer's open before both players drew two, and then checked.

Both players drew two and Ohel bet out. Call. Ohel stood pat and Lazer drew two again. Both players checked the final round of betting and Lazer mucked upon seeing his opponent's {9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{2-}.

A Showdown?

The match has been severely lacking in showdowns the last while. We got oh so close to one just now but Randy Ohel tank-folded to Benjamin Lazer on the last betting round.

Ohel two-bet from the button and Lazer called. Both players drew two and Lazer check-called a bet. Both players drew one and Lazer led out at this juncture. Call. Lazer stood pad and led out again after Ohel drew one. Fold.

Ohel won two samll hands after this and then the clock was paused as the two players went on a quick bathroom break.
