Another Tough Table, Boeken Beats O'Brien

Happy_Freaked

We discovered another tough table in the Amazon Orange section with six famous faces. Dan O'Brien and Noah Boeken are sitting next to each other in seats two and three, and we just caught an interesting hand between the two.

2-7 Triple Draw

O'Brien raised from the cutoff to 300, and Boeken was his only caller on the button.

Both players drew two cards.

This is when things got very interesting as O'Brien bet 150, Boeken made it 300, O'Brien threw in 450 and the former EPT Copenhagen winner put in 600. This slowed O'Brien down who made the call.

"I don't need anymore," O'Brien said after which Boeken stood pat as well.

O'Brien check-called 300, and on the last drawing round both players stood pat as well. After O'Brien checked, Boeken flicked in three more grey 100 chips, and he got called once again.

Boeken turned over {7-} {6-} {4-} {3-} {2-} , and O'Brien pointed out that that's a 'number two'. In 2-7 games the best possible hand is {7-} {5-} {4-} {3-} {2-} , and Boeken's hand was just a little weaker, therefore a number two.

Player	Chips	Progress
Noah Boeken	9,000
Mike Matusow	7,500
Anton Makievskyi	7,500
Tommy Vedes	7,500
Jeff Lisandro	7,500
Dan O'Brien	6,000

Missing in Action

Chad Holloway

We did a pass through the Orange Section in the Amazon and noticed a few players were missing and their former spots void of chips. This leads us to believe they have been eliminated here in the early stages of Event 37: $2,500 Eight-Game Mix.

One for Kravchenko; Idema Cruising

Chad Holloway

No Limit Hold'em

Action folded around to Daniel Idema on the button and he put in a raise to 150. Alexander Kravchenko made the call from the small blind, Gary Benson came along from the big, and it was three-way action to the {9-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {K-Spades} flop, which all three checked.

When the {K-Clubs} turned, Kravchenko bet a modest 200 and both Benson and Idema folded. With that, Kravchenko is up to 6,200, though he still trails Idema's 19,000 by a considerable margin.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Idema	19,000	11,500
Alexander Kravchenko	6,200	-1,300

2	Men "The Master" Nguyen
3	John Racener
4	Empty
5	Tristan Clemencon
6	Berry Johnston

Even though this table brings out a big challenge, it will also be one of the first ones to be broken.

Razz

George Danzer	/
Jameson Painter	/
Opponent	/

We caught the action fifth street with George Danzer in the betting lead. He bet 200, the player in middle called and Jameson Painter called as well.

On sixth street Danzer bet, the third player raised, Painter called and the German pro called as well.

Seventh street was dealt down, Danzer checked and the third player bet. Painter called, after which Danzer went into the tank. He took a good look at both his opponent's board before he decided to make a raise. The third player called and Painter folded his hand.

"Do you have a five?" Danzer asked after which he turned over {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {4-Spades} for a six-five-four-deuce-ace low. His opponent mucked and Danzer got his stack back up to 7,500 chips.
