Downswing For Lazer

Benjamin Lazer was catching Randy Ohel, but he lost two pots on the bounce to drop back.

First up he lost a bit pot to Ohel. The pot was three-bet by Ohel on each of the two rounds before he showed down {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for a number two. Lazer stared at his hand for a while before mucking.

The very next hand he lost a pot to Farzad Bonyadi. Lazer drew two, two, and one but missed and check-folded on the last betting round.
